By the Eyes of the Blind: Difference between revisions

This is the supertrope to [[Invisible to Normals]] and [[Invisible to Adults]]. Please place examples of those subtropes under the proper subtrope.

 

 

For the literal version of this trope, see [[Blind Seer]].

* On ''[[Lost (TV)|Lost]]'', Hurley, who is [[Genre Savvy]], theorizes that only he, Locke, and Ben can see Jacob's cabin because they are the craziest ones.

* In the final season of ''[[Slings and Arrows]]'', Geoffrey and his ghostly mentor Oliver Wells hazard that the only ones who can see Oliver (besides Geoffrey...who is is probably mad) are people near death.

* In ''[[Angel (TV)|Angel]]'' only people whose blood has mixed with [[Eldritch Abomination|Jasmine's]] can see beyond her beauty to see the creepy maggot-infested walking [[Eldritch Abomination]] she is. Subverted with {{spoiler|Connor}} who always saw her as a maggot-infested walking [[Eldritch Abomination]] because {{spoiler|''he was her father''. Yeah. Talk about a face only a parent could love}}.

* Al, the hologram sidekick from ''[[Quantum Leap (TV)|Quantum Leap]]'' could only be seen by Sam, animals and 'the very old, very young and very crazy.'

* ''[[The X Files (TV)|The X Files]]'' episode "Folie a Deux" featured a monster disguised as a human working in a telemarketing company, escaping detection by apparently "hiding in the light", and is able to kill people and control their corpses without anyone else noticing they're dead. An employee named Lambert, however, is able to see him as he is, as well as those whom he killed. Everyone thinks he's crazy, but he manages to get Mulder to see the monster as well.

* Both versions of ''[[The Outer Limits (TV)|The Outer Limits]]'' have examples of this trope.

** In the original series episode "Behold, Eck!", a two-dimensional creature from [[Another Dimension]] accidentally enters our world. It can only be perceived by people wearing glasses made from a special prescription that uses meteroic quartz.

== [[Video Games]] ==

* Amaterasu from ''[[Okami (Video Game)|Okami]]'' is visible to everyone, but the [[Facial Markings]] that indicate her divinity only show up to people who still [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe|have faith in the gods]]. Similarly, she can only be understood by supernatural creatures such as Poncles, Celestials, and other gods.

* In ''[[Trace Memory]]'' only Ashley can see D, apparently because "her heart and mind are pure" or something like that.
