I've heard of various people they were able to "feel" where the ceiling was going to be lower after being in the dark for some time. I don't quite think that's really possible if it's imaginary.

[HellEye]

Echolocation?
If it's about being in the dark, I have a sense for that too. But I don't think it's thanks to spirit.
Not saying I don't believe in having a spirit
That was a joke in case that missed you. I make hard to get jokes sometimes

[White Wolf Guardian]

But what is knowing exactly? Is an illusion the illusion, or are you the illusion?

[HellEye]

I'm an illusion.
You can't see me.

[Michen_S]

If it's not spirit, what is it? You haven't touched the rock, nor heard or seen it. So there should be something at work that lets you accurately predict that the low ceiling is there that's not the 'primary 5 senses'.

Here's how I see it: if everything was an illusion including me, nothing that happens here would make any sense.

[HellEye]

Nothing makes sense anyway imo

And well... Your body could be listening to the echo or feel the cold from the rocks.
You don't consciously know it, but it's in there

If it's not spirit, what is it? You haven't touched the rock, nor heard or seen it. So there should be something at work that lets you accurately predict that the low ceiling is there that's not the 'primary 5 senses'.

For a start, you can hear it. Your senses are made to keep you from hurting yourself, so you can react without thinking 'hey, this will probably hurt me if I bump my head into it, so maybe I shouldn't do that.' If you're moving, there's subtle vibrations that echo from nearby objects, more audible the closer you are. So when your ears pick that up, your brain is adapted to make you not bump your head into whatever it is.

That's just one of the many ways you can not bash your head into low ceilings without there being a ghost inside whatever you're walking under.

EDIT:

And well... Your body could be listening to the echo or feel the cold from the rocks.

Didn't even think about the temperature difference you feel when close to things! That one you CAN consciously focus on!

[Michen_S]

Maybe, but I haven't heard of them hearing the rocks or feeling the cold of the rocks, just feeling that the rocks were there.

[HellEye]

As I said, not conscious.
It's not something your body tells you because you don't need to know what's going on, you just need to know to duck.
You could probably train to use it more consciously.

[Michen_S]

And then some people say they're not weird...

[HellEye]

Oh well some people are weird.

[Michen_S]

Everyone is weird though.

[HellEye]

That is true. Makes it fun.

[Michen_S]

And people who say they aren't weird might even be by far the weirdest.

[HellEye]

Oh that's without a doubt
