Remote viewing is the ability to perceive a distant person, place, or event without being physically present, often described as a kind of fly-on-the-wall awareness of a situation happening elsewhere. It's considered one of the more advanced psychic abilities, generally developed with significant practice.

Remote viewing is sometimes used in situations involving uncertainty about where someone is or what they're doing, offering impressions of a scene as though the practitioner were witnessing it firsthand, rather than receiving a symbolic message about it.
