Abstract

This study explores the existence of precognitive abilities through the analysis of specific bodily sensations (SBS), which can be viewed as a new dimension within the spectrum of precognitive phenomena. Unlike traditional precognitive approaches, such as intuition or dreams, SBS provide a measurable and objective basis for predicting personal events (PE). Using two statistical tests – the binomial test and Cohen’s h –a significant deviation of the success rate from random probability was demonstrated, substantiating the predictive capacity of SBS. Qualitative analyses provided additional insights, including the categorization
of SBS into three emotional dimensions, their independence from physical distance, and their potential to predict dangerous events up to 72 hours in advance. The findings suggest that SBS could serve as a robust foundation for the development of precognitive early warning systems. However, they also raise critical questions regarding the ethical, societal, and psychological implications of such applications. Furthermore, these results expand the understanding of precognitive mechanisms, which should be further investigated in future studies with larger sample sizes.
