Could a strong feeling surrounding a stranger death be spiritual psychological or something else?

I’ve been debating whether to post this because I really don’t want it to come across as parasocial but I’m genuinely curious if anyone else has felt something strange around a similar situation it’s about a celebrity who was killed in in 2020 (I don’t want to name drop yet)

I never met him just listened to his music casually prior to his passing since he was in th peak of his career and the day he passed I wasn’t phased but recently a documentary about him popped very long and detailed so I watched it and since then this lingering feeling never left.

What makes it especially weird is that I’m not unfamiliar with death or true crime I consume true crime and have seen plenty of disturbing things. I’ve experienced people I actually cared about passing and celebrities I genuinely liked dying in horrific circumstances and I’ve never felt this particular kind of heaviness.

There’s also a history of very strong intuition and spiritual sensitivity in the women in my family going back several generations.They have all been very intuitive so I’m not completely unfamiliar with these experiences. But I’m also trying to stay grounded and not automatically interpret every strong feeling as something supernatural.

I actually did a cleansing because the feeling was becoming uncomfortable and I do feel somewhat lighter afterward. Whether that was spiritual or simply the psychological effect of doing something that made me feel like I was releasing it I genuinely don’t know.

I’m not claiming to be sensing him, communicating with him or knowing anything about what happened beyond what’s publicly known. I just want to know if anyone else has felt this unusually strong sense of empathy heaviness or connection around this particular death especially people who had no personal attachment to him whatsoever. Thank you for very much in advance 🫶🏻
