Clairvoyance is the psychic ability or power to see objects, and visions, or to gain information regardless of its distance. The visions that a clairvoyant sees can be visions of the future past or even present. Clairvoyance also splits into many subcategories or is often referred to as telepathy, psychic research, second sight, prophetic visions, dreams and spiritualism.
 

Clairaudience, which is similar to clairvoyance, is the psychic ability to hear things from afar. Both phenomena mostly occur in normal state of consciousness or can be induced by drugs, illness or fasting.

Psychic's are aware of things that one cannot perceive through the typical five physical senses: seeing, hearing, touch, taste and smell. Psychics are said to have a 'sixth sense' which is often called ESP (extra sensory perception).
