What is the word for sensing someone is around you?

I have been searching forever to figure out the word for this. You know when someone is behind you or around you and you can feel their presence, is there a word for that? I'm sure there is, but before I resort to reading the entire dictionary I thought I'd give this forum a go to see if anyone else knew the answer.

 

There's not a one-word word for this in English other than the rather generic sense/sensed/sensing.

 

Smell, in many cases.

 

Intuition or hunch. Example, "I had a bizarre and solid hunch that someone was creeping slowly towards me."

 

I don't know if bizarre was the appropriate word to use. I could have said, "I had an alarming and solid hunch that someone was creeping slowly behind me."

 

Well if we can have spidey-senses, why can't we have

aura-sense
noun
/ ˈɔːrə-sɛns/

?

The ability to perceive the emanations of another without evidence of their proximity.

 

I'm almost 90% sure the term is "Rolling a 20 on your perception check".

 

We had a similar discussion recently here:

Conscious that someone else was there.

Aware I was being watched.

Alerted to their presence.

 

Foreboding could be used as a description. "I had a foreboding feeling in the pit of my stomach that someone was lurking closely behind me, a shadow in this abysmal vacant night. I heard what I thought could be footsteps but when I turned around to look they where only the mere rustling of autumn leaves, rolling against the cold indifferent sidewalk."
