Have you ever visited a historical battlefield or centuries-old town and felt an inexplicable chill, restlessness, or a sense of heaviness in the air? Places like Gettysburg, Pennsylvania — the site of one of the bloodiest battles in the American Civil War — are rich in history, emotion, and memory.

In the world of psychic phenomena, there is a group of individuals often referred to as "psychic sensitives" or "empaths."
