Surely it's simply your brain mis-interpreting the data sensed by your eyes
... or at least mis-interpretining from the point of view that it says you
are moving as it has not yet collected enough data to rule out that fact,so
you have a 50:50 chance of being told you are moving. this is not a sense,
it is a misconception.

If you are expecting to feel something you will. it is well known that you
can implant an idea behind a feeling on someone. for example, if i were to
say, "have you got a head ache, it looks like you have a head ache. are you
sure you dont have a head ache" then i bet that several of the people
reading this mail will start feeling as though they have a head ache. i
feel it slightly myself, and i know i dont have a head ache. If the actors
were to feel the energy without actually being told it was being sent then
i'd be slightly more inclined to accept what you say but as it stands, i
dont think it can be counted as an extra sense.
On the topic of extra sences (this mail is getting too long, sorry) the is a
well catologued 6th sence that approximately 50% of us are able to feel. it
is simply the phenomenon of empathy. the ability to feel what another is
feeling simply be being in contact with them. this cannot be explained with
one of the 5 senses (i dont think).
