sensegæng

Sensegæng is a Danish term that translates to "ghost" or "specter." It refers to the apparition of a deceased person, often believed to be seen or felt in a place they frequented during their life. These apparitions are typically described as fleeting, translucent, or shadowy figures, and their appearances are often associated with specific locations such as old houses, historical sites, or places where a tragedy occurred.

Belief in sensegæng has deep roots in Danish folklore and mythology, shared with similar concepts in other cultures, such as the English "ghost" or the German "Gespenst." Accounts of sensegæng sightings are part of oral traditions and have been documented in local histories and collections of supernatural stories. These encounters are generally not considered hostile, but rather a lingering presence or an echo of a past life.

The phenomenon of sensegæng is often discussed in the context of local legends and ghost stories, contributing to the cultural heritage of Denmark. While scientific explanations for such phenomena are varied, ranging from psychological experiences to misinterpretations of natural occurrences, the concept of sensegæng remains a significant element in Danish folklore and popular imagination.
