This is Caleb. Caleb is a powerful medium. His family is from a long line of mediums with varying powerful spiritual gifts. 

Caleb is lucky enough to take after his great grandmother and managed to land himself with pretty much a little bit of everything and no means to really control these abilities, as none of his immediate family has any of the abilities he has.
In fact, his side of the family have estranged themselves from the weirdness of the rest of the family. Caleb is largely ignored and sometimes even scolded when he tried to tell his parents what he sees.
In the end, Caleb keeps mostly quiet about what goes on, realizing he is the only one that can see them. It was only a source of teasing and ridicule by siblings and other children at school anyway, why open himself up to more torment?
Later on down the line Caleb comes into possession of his great grandmother's notes and books - she gives him everything she had in her will when she passed away - in a letter included in the collection of items Caleb inherits she explained how she knew what he had to deal with, that she was like him and was gifted with everything and how she wished she could have been the one to teach him and actually get to meet him but she hoped that what she left him would be sufficient.
Eventually Caleb learns to harness and reign in his abilities with help from other mediums and paranormal experts that respected his great grandmother.

A list of abilities that Caleb has:

  • Astral Projection - The ability to voluntarily project the astral body (consciousness), being associated with out-of-body experience, in which the astral body becomes separate from the physical body.
  • Aura Reading – The ability to perceive "energy fields" surrounding people, places and things.
  • Automatic Writing – The ability to write without conscious thought.
  • Clairaudience – The ability to acquire information by paranormal auditory means.
  • Claircognizance – The ability to acquire psychic knowledge by means of intrinsic knowledge.
  • Clairgustance – The ability to taste or perceive the essence of a substance from the ethereal realms without contact.
  • Clairolfactance – The ability to access spiritual or mediumistic knowledge through smell.
  • Clairsentience – The ability to acquire psychic knowledge by feeling.
  • Clairvoyance – The ability to perceive person, object, location, and physical events through extrasensory perception.
  • Divination – The ability to gain insight into a question or situation by performing a ritual.
  • Empathy - The ability to feel the emotions and physical pains of others as intensely or more than his own. Energy Medicine – The ability to heal with one's own empathic astral energy.
  • Exorcism – The ability to make rid of unwanted entities.
  • Extrasensory Perception (ESP) / Sixth Sense / Second Sight in the form of seeing spirits and other entities. Mediumship / Channeling – The ability to communicate with spirits.
  • Precognition / Premonition – The ability to perceive future events.
  • Psychometry / Psychoscopy – The ability to obtain information about a person or object, usually by touch.
  • Remote Viewing / Telesthesia / Remote Sensing – The ability to see a distant and unseen target using extrasensory perception.
  • Retrocognition / Postcognition – The ability to perceive or see past events.

On top of this, while he can see and communicate with spirits, there isn't a way to turn it off. And they can see and feel him too, they are drawn to him. They can touch and manipulate him so he has to be careful if there are any dangerous entities around.
