How about you? Any aspies here with that sixth sense?
I have been to plenty of "haunted" places where other people claim to feel creeped-out. Most had a sudden change in air temperature, or a cold draft, or the smell of damp. Some had sudden changes in light levels, such as bright light coming from a low level, which could dazzle.
I think I could create a "haunted" place, and I think fun fairs and amusement parks know the formula.
I don't totally discount an extra sense - some holy relics, human bones and places that have been occupied or touched by humans have an effect on my mood. I really like the sense of a piece of a material that has been polished smooth over hundreds of years by millions of human touches and kisses.
