The Ghost Hunters and The Familiar Strangers

Amelia Chestnut is an eighteen-year-old girl who happens to see ghosts. She has always seen ghosts ever since her birth but every time she told people about them, they laughed at her and called her crazy. Her parents had to lock her up every time they were going out because they didn't want their daughter to embarrass them on every outing. Her parents thought locking her up would make her stop but instead, it grew worse. They became scared because no one in their lineage saw a ghost.

They couldn't tell if it was a curse or a blessing. Amelia had to deal with the problem, in school, at the supermarket, and everywhere. Her parents decided she should leave that city and travel to another city thinking it was the city that was the issue to their surprise, Amelia continued seeing ghosts but she was more shocked when she found out there were people like her in this new city.

The question is...could there be a reason for this gift? And if there is, what would be the reason??
