Line 89:
** Then there's the fact that most things from the Hedge, such as [[Our Goblins Are Wickeder|hobgoblins]], can only be perceived on Earth by changelings or any humans a changeling has chosen to ensorcel.
* In the 3E [[Ravenloft]] supplement ''Dark Tales & Disturbing Legends'', many bogeymen [[Invisible to Adults|can only be seen by children]].
* ''[[Stars Without Number]]'' (Original Edition) describes weird creatures dubbed The Shibboleth. Anything who sees them catches aversion field, which prevents people from noticing them — even if they erect a large building in the middle of the same city (they can make human-like minions to order humans around), and if one grabs and drags away the next guy, this will be explained away, usually by blaming someone else. They are problem due to consistent malevolence and not having a recognizable standard shape, so it's impossible to simply collect recordings in some clean place and program a bunch of robots to kill these things on sight. However, any psychic who suffered damage from "[[Superpower Meltdown|torching]]" is immune, and telepaths found a way to reproduce the effect in non-psychics, leading to the weirdest [[Secret War]]s in the setting.

* ''[[SCP Foundation]]'': The world accessible through SCP-093 is almost immediately found to be full of strange figures that are visible on the monitoring cameras, but which the people exploring the world can't seem to see. {{spoiler|They turn out to be the "ghosts" of the Unclean and those absorbed by them -- they can only be seen by machines or those affected by His Tears. They show no ability to speak, but seem able to communicate textually through machinery that allows it, and communicate telepathically with the affected.}}
* Implied in many works from [[The Slender Man Mythos]]. Typically, only Slender Man's intended victims can actually see him unassisted. However, he always shows up in pictures and videos, which is why the more [[Genre Savvy]] characters (i.e. [[Marble Hornets|Alex Kralie]], [[Tribe Twelve|Milo]],) start keeping a camera with them at all times. Then, when other characters review said pictures and videos, they end up going "Hey wait, why didn't I ever notice that rather obvious tall, faceless guy in the business suit when I was actually there?" Unfortunately, realizing that Slender Man exists is an easy way to get on his list...
* False Hydra, monster originally [http://goblinpunch.blogspot.com/2014/09/false-hydra.html from ''Goblin Punch'' blog] who became somewhat popular in part thanks to [[Reddit]]. Not noticeable for those in hearing range and with working ears, thus somewhat vulnerable to long-range observation (which is rarely possible until it's too late) or well-prepared suspicious people if it gets careless (not noticing the creature itself doesn't make those it rather won't eat today avoid "empty" place, or remove determination to apply standard "[[Alpha Strike|Kill It With All The Fire]]" procedure to all spots showing certain anomalies, or wherever the guy wearing layered ear protection points, etc).
