Empath (; ) is a term for people with an unusual high level of empathy.

In parapsychology, the mechanism for being an empath is said to be psychic channeling; psychics and mediums say that they channel the emotional states and experiences of other living beings, or the spirits of dead people, in the form of "emotional resonance." Studies of such claims have found them to be the result of mundane empathy and charisma, with no actual supernatural capabilities involved.
