Ghost Whispering, or Mediumship, is the ability to see and communicate with spirits of the dead.

Overview[]

Users can connect with spirits and help them cross over to wherever their souls are meant to be. However, they can also easily encounter an evil spirit, making their own life risky, and may even become victims of possession if their willpower is weak. The spirits of supernaturals are rare because they don't stay in the human realm for long unless they have an exceptionally strong will, such as Daniel Brighten, who stayed behind to watch over his daughter.

When a ghost whisperer is new to their power, they may experience it in limited ways, such as night terrors when multiple spirits come to them at the same time. While conscious, they are only able to see one spirit. But as their powers grow, they will be able to see more than one spirit.

There have been individuals with a limited ability to sense the presence of spirits without being able to see them.

Bonding[]

To be able to see a ghost properly, the ghost whisperer needs to be mystically bonded with the spirit. Once the bond is formed, said spirit can only be seen by said ghost whisperer. For example, if two ghost whisperers were to cross paths and one of them is visited by a spirit, the other ghost whisperer will not be able to see said spirit.

If a spirit is yet to be bonded, the ghost whisperer will not be able to see their forms properly, but will still feel their presence.

Sensing Ghosts[]

Some people's gifts are limited to only sensing a spirit's presence instead of seeing or communicating with them.

Variations[]

Retrocognition[]

Ghost whisperers are sometimes involuntarily pulled into visions, a sort of out-of-body experience, where they live moments of the spirit's life. While in that state, they are unable to alter the course of the events and their physical body will involuntarily wander around until the vision ends.

Dreamscaping[]

Some ghost whisperers develop the power of walking into other people's dreams and influence them.

Acquisition[]

The power of ghost whispering is inherent, but the circumstances vary from circumstance to circumstance. Certain faes are known for having the gift.

Some people inherit the gift from members of a Native American tribe if said members are magically gifted.

Reborn vampires have the ability to sense the presence of ghosts. Some can also see them if the power is strong enough.

Mystic witches are known for interacting with spirits, though it is highly rare.

Trivia[]

  • For some reason, people with this power usually feel a connection to the waterfall at Shadow Falls Academy and the death angels.
  • Beings with this power usually receive a second gift of dreamscaping, though it can also be possessed by individuals who lack this power.
  • In the beginning, ghost whisperers can willingly learn to turn off this power and cease seeing ghosts through meditation. This is only possible when they are new and resistant to their gifts. If they choose to embrace their gifts, they will be forced to embrace everything it offers.
  • Ghost whisperers' brain patterns are difficult to read by default, but after a long period of practice, they can open up to others.
  • Protectors seemingly have the power to see ghosts.
