clairaudience

clairaudience
   The term clairaudience comes from the French words for hearing clearly. The term is used in the parapsychological literature to denote a *verbal or *nonverbal auditory hallucination that is attributable to a metaphysical source, and is therefore interpreted as a * telepathic, * veridical, or at least * coincidental hallucination.
