Detect Presences
Spell, Black Magic, level 2
Senses the rough location of spirit, ethereal or invisible beings near the caster, without identifying them.
From the book
For 10 minutes the caster can sense beings of any sort, including spirits, ethereal creatures and invisible ones, within a 20 ft. radius. The spell reveals roughly where such beings are but not what they are, so the caster knows something is present without learning its nature. There is no save.

A scene
Among the vine-choked step pyramids of Huac, where no one has lived for a thousand years, Itzel the witch stops on the stair and lifts her head. The spell spreads out around her like ripples in a pool. Something is standing on the step above her, a little to the left, close enough to touch. There is nothing to see. She cannot tell what it is, or what it wants, only that it is there. She has ten minutes to decide what to do. She decides to go back down.
