Aha, but the 'something' could have been an external charge in a very real and measurable sense. It's quite well documented in some particularly tedious bodies of literature that fluctuations in the ambient electro-magnetic field can induce electrical activity in the human brain.

Quite often, this is in an area known as the amygdala, which, when stimulated, can evoke a 'fight or flight' response. Mucho adrenaline dump via electro-wierdness. There is an argument that feelings of 'sacredness' associated with/evoked by particular places could be due to geological factors which predispose to E.M. fluctuation.
