Clairvoyant powers have been shrouded in mystery for a long time and that is really no surprise. The special gift that clairvoyants have been given often confuses and can even scare people that possess no paranormal powers. Why is this? This is because clairvoyants have the knowledge of things that are unknown. People without these powers will often resent the ability clairvoyants have to look into the future, present, and past.
