Alleged paranormal perception of things hidden or distant, similar to telepathy or clairvoyance.
From Greek 'kryptos' (hidden) + 'aesthesis' (sensation), parallel to cryptaesthesia but with slightly different Greek roots; both used interchangeably in parapsychology.
The two spellings—cryptaesthesia and cryptesthesia—reflect historical disagreement among parapsychologists about the 'correct' Greek construction, but they mean identical things, showing how young the field was when terminology developed.
