As I stood alone in the dark, abandoned hallway, I suddenly felt an icy hand ___ my shoulder!
The correct answers are touch and touching.
Feel is a verb of perception. It follows the pattern: feel + object + bare infinitive (touch) or feel + object + -ing form (touching).
"Touch" means you felt the whole quick action happen. "Touching" means you felt the action while it was happening. Both are grammatically correct and perfectly spooky!
Verbs of perception do not take the to-infinitive (to touch) or third-person singular verbs (touches).
