Explanation:

In the context of a ghost - story where a character sees an intruder and more disturbing events are expected, "foreboding" means a feeling that something bad is going to happen, which fits the tone and meaning. "Despair" is extreme sadness and hopelessness, not related to the anticipation here. "Insightfulness" is about being perceptive and having understanding, which is out of place in this context of impending bad events.
