* ''Literature/InCryptid'': Johrlac like Sarah are all naturally telepathic, so naturally they're able to sense one another (and stay far away, since as a rule they hate being near others of their own species. Johrlac also naturally emit a particular psychic hum, and people who have spent significant time around one are able to sense that, even to the point of being able to tell apart different Johrlac (who are all virtually identical).

* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': Ragdoll's Quirk is this and it has such long-range and analytical capabilities that the BigBad of the story, [[spoiler:aka All for One, cannot resist stealing it.]]

* In Creator/IsaacAsimov's ''Literature/{{Foundation}}'' series, the Second Foundationers and Gaians, having mental powers, can detect the presence of intelligent beings from interplanetary distances. In ''Literature/FoundationAndEarth'' Bliss can tell the difference between humans, other life such as animals, and even robots.

* ''Series/BabylonFive'': telepaths, especially powerful ones, can detect people by their surface thoughts. The Psi Corps typically trains their telepaths to block out those thoughts to protect people's privacy (and the telepath's sanity). When Lyta Alexander's powers are upgraded by the Vorlons, she is shown to be able to detect which security camera is currently being used to watch her. Serves as a sort of PokeInTheThirdEye, when Sheridan and Garibaldi are watching her from the security office in an interrogation room. She's staring right at the camera. As soon as they switch to another camera in the same room, she turns to look at it, freaking them out.

* ''{{Series/Legion|2017}}'': In "[[Recap/LegionS3E3Chapter22 Chapter 22]]", Charles Xavier constructs Cerebro in his basement, which vastly enhances his telepathic range so that he can detect any mutant on the planet. After he turns on the device, the first mutant he psychically perceives is Amahl Farouk, who resides in Morocco.
* ''Series/RedDwarf'': During the episode "Quarantine," both Lanstrom and Rimmer, under the effects of the Holovirus, are able to home in on the location of the rest of the crew by sensing their thoughts.
--> ''"Unfortunately she has already found you! [[EyeBeams Twinkle, twinkle, little eye]], now it's time for you to die!"''
-->-- '''Dr. Hildegard Lanstrom''', ''Series/RedDwarf'' "Quarantine."

* Snow White in ''LightNovel/MagicalGirlRaisingProject'' hears the thoughts of anyone under distress, and part of that ability is being able to pinpoint the location of the distressed person, even if they are hidden or invisible.

* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'': It’s noted by Alpha and Shizuka that some people are born with super-human instincts able to detect someone looking at them from a long distance away. This kind of DifferentlyPoweredIndividual like the other types in the setting is the result of the {{Transhuman}} experimentation of the Old World {{Precursors}}. It’s noted that the ability is disabled by wearing a helmet. The NinjaMaid Kanae seems to be one.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'', [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-280 SCP-280 ("Eyes in the Dark")]]. SCP-280 can detect the direction of the nearest human being without any apparent range limitation.

* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': Ragdoll's Quirk is this and it has such long-range and analytical capabilities that the [[BigBad Big Bad]] of the story, [[spoiler:aka All for One, cannot resist stealing it.]]

* Fanfic/MyHeroPlaythrough: Izuku has the Ki version this as part of the package when he starts unlocking the Ki powers tree.

* In Creator/IsaacAsimov's ''Literature/{{Foundation}}'' series the Second Foundationers and Gaians, having mental powers, can detect the presence of intelligent beings from interplanetary distances. In ''Literature/FoundationAndEarth'' Bliss can tell the difference between humans, other life such as animals, and even robots.

* ''{{Series/Heroes}}'': Matt Parkman can detect people he can't see by hearing their thoughts. In the first episode we meet him in, he uses this to find a little girl who's hiding from a murderer.

* ''VideoGame/ScarletNexus'': Tsugumi's Clairvoyance power is frequently used in the story for her to be a SensorCharacter. In her backstory, Tsugumi overheard many things better off not knowing and telling others about them made people hate her, resulting in her becoming a ShrinkingViolet. In one conversation, she brings up that she regularly sees inside of people’s organs, pointing out when Yuito has a stomach sickness. Her power is shared with the protagonists via PsychicLink to detect invisible enemies and which enemy is the real one in a DoppelgangerAttack. Her link with Luka also serves as RequiredSecondaryPowers to get the most out of his PsychicTeleportation, as he can’t go somewhere he hasn't seen safely.
