Psychic Senses

Psychic Senses are the only ways visitors can be detected, they are mostly present in children, with the senses dulling with age until they disappear completely, leaving a person blind and deaf to visitors.

Most psychic senses parody normal senses, but exclusively work to detect the paranormal.

Children who can use these senses are known as "Sensitives".

Sight
Sight is the first of the notable psychic senses, it is the ability to see ghosts and other apparitions visually, a person with strong sight will be able to see phantoms with high detail.

Some adults have weak sight, with the ability to detect moving shapes or indistinct lights as evidenced by Mrs Hope, but most are completely blind to visitors.

Sight is also the sense necessary to detect Death Glows.

Notable Seers

 * Anthony Lockwood Esq.

Listening
Listening is the second of the notable psychic senses, is it the ability to hear ghosts, and any other sounds that might be relevant to their manifestation.

Listening is presumably rarer than sight, judging by the ratio we see in the books.

Listening is the sense necessary to speak to Type Three Ghosts.

Touch
Touch is the third and final psychic sense, it is the ability to touch objects to gain insights about their past. This can be anything from faint emotions relating to the incident which infused the psychic memory in the object, to full on visions of the object's past.

It is unclear how common touch is in sensitives.
