"One hears the car, another sees it, one hears. the child scream, another sees the child. How does that strike you?"

This, I am bound to say, was a new view to me, and the more I thought about it the more reasonable it appeared. For the vast majority of mankind have all those occult senses by which is perceived the spiritual world (which, I hold, is thick and populous around us), sealed up, as it were; in other words, the majority of mankind never hear or see a ghost at all. Is it not, then, very probable that of the remainder—those, in fact, to whom occult experiences have happened or can happen—few should have every sense unsealed, but that some should have the unsealed ear, others the unsealed eye—that some should be clairaudient, others clairvoyant?

– E. F. Benson, from “The Dust-Cloud,” The Room in the Tower and Other Stories (Mills & Boon, 1912)
