I propose that people have always possessed, and still do, the ability to detect, sense, commune, with entities in another "realm"

Different life forms have developed these sensory enhancements over the millennia in order to increase their chances for survival...not for contacting the spirit world.
I do think that some humans possess certain abilities to 'sense' things that might be beyond the grasp of the population as a whole. Dowsers supposedly have the ability to detect water beneath the ground, which may be a legacy from our distant past. Being that early humans couldn't survive very long without water, it makes sense that random members of the clan would have the ability to find it in places where it's not readily available above ground. Of course, the need for water applies to modern humans too, but we now rely on technology to get it. Again, this extraordinary ability helped to insure the survival of our ancestors and didn't have anything to do with seeing or sensing ghosts.
