* Throughout the course of ''[[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon F.E.A.R.]]'', people usually remark on the weird effects [[RealityWarper Alma]]'s presence causes. Then, in ''Extraction Point'', as soon as you enter a haunted room full of corpse-like apparitions, Sgt. Holiday lets out [[WhamLine this quip]]:

** In ''Shadowbringers'', Due to [[NarniaTime temporal shenanigans between dimensions]], Ardbert had been wandering Norvrandt as a ghost for nearly a century before the Warrior of Light shows up, unable to interact with anyone or anything. The Warrior of Light being able to hear and see him snaps him out of his [[GoMadFromTheIsolation near-catatonic state]], and he joins them on their journey. While none of your other NPC companions can see him, they believe Warrior of Light when they reveal this, since they'd have no reason to lie about it and ''much weirder stuff'' has happened to them that they ''have'' seen. [[spoiler:Near the end, another person is ''just barely'' able to detect Ardbert's presence, and reveals that Ardbert and the Warrior of Light are able to interact because they're [[AlternateSelf two pieces of the same soul]].]]

* In ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', many Stand users are relieved the first time they meet another one, since Stands are [[InvisibleToNormals invisible and intangible to anyone but other users]].
** Heck, this is the way Stands were introduced to the series, with main character Jotaro convinced that the Stand he seemingly gained from nowhere is really an evil spirit trying to possess him. This leads him to check himself into a jail until his grandfather Joseph is called in to explain things.

* In ''Franchise/YuGiOh'', a lot of characters could see and talk to Duel Spirits. The first known character was Raphael, who could see the spirits of the Guardians (whether they actually ever talked back to him isn't known).

** Of course, if the passing student had been a hallucination, this tactic would not have worked. Even if the man was real.
*** Unless he'd already confirmed that student's existence with someone he knew to be real. [[FridgeBrilliance He does say that he's always cautious meeting new people.]] On the other hand, he seems to be at least half joking.

* In ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'' Harry's confused when he starts seeing the thestrals when nobody else can. He's less than entirely reassured when Luna tells him that she can see them too, and that he's [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} just as sane as she is]].

** Presumably after the Battle of Hogwarts pretty much all the senior years can see them. Goody.

* ''Literature/TheWayOfKings'' (first book of ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive''): Kaladin is nearly convinced that the spren talking to him is a sign of insanity... then Rock bows to her.

* ''ComicBook/Ronin1983'' has a variant when a samurai and his lord are by some Buddha statues, having a conversation. Suddenly, the statues suddenly join in on the conversation and the Samurai yelps that the statues are talking. At that, the Lord notes he's glad his retainer heard them too since he didn't want to think he was going senile. As it turns out, the voices were coming from {{Mooks}} who want to spook their targets before they ambush them.

-->'''Sarah:''' You just saw three monkeys go by on a motorcycle, right?
-->'''Judy''': (nervously) Yeah....
-->'''Sarah:''' Good girl. Come on.

'''Ella''': Hey, less of the "weird". ''{door closes)''\\

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Homer meets a roofer by the name of Ray Magini (voiced by Ray Romano). However, Homer's friends and family claim never to have seen him even when Homer insists they've been together. This culminates in Homer receiving electroshock for a perceived psychiatric disorder. Then Ray shows up and everyone present is able to see him -- the previous non-sightings are explained through a series of increasingly-convoluted circumstances.

* In the Radio 4 comedy drama ''The Attendant'', Alex is a late-night petrol station attendant who has conversations with Keith the vaccum cleaner. Everyone else, including his LoveInterest Ella, kind of humours him with this, until in the last scene of the third episode this happens:

'''Alex and Keith''' [[BigWhat WHAT??]]

* At the beginning of the ''Literature/{{Devery}}'' cycle, Jill is a young girl who can see the [[AlchemicalElementals Wildfolk]], and has learned never, ever to mention this to adults. She's very surprised when she sees Nevyn reacting to the gnome that follows her about.
