A survey examined sensed presences alongside absorption, unusual experiences and mental-health measures. Different participant clusters showed that presence experiences do not have one uniform psychological context.

Method and scope

Anonymous social-media recruitment was followed by questionnaires, correlations and clustering of experience profiles.

What to keep in mind

Self-selection and cross-sectional data limit generalisation. Experiencing a presence is not, by itself, a diagnosis; the study examines varied patterns across participants.
