It's just a very (emphasis on the very) paranormal feeling. I think we should try to control our feelings like you said. What sometimes works for me is trying to wiggle a finger lol. But then I think, if a spirit is so strong, why would it matter if I can wiggle a finger break the spell? But, I haven't discarded the paranormal activity aspect yet. I'm just more annoyed than scared at this point lol
But thank you for sharing that!:)
