Until I can come up with a better name for this category, Special Children refers to those children, like Sam, who have some kind of special ability. These abilities were all once thought to be psychic in nature, but the appearance of Jake Talley, whose ability is physical rather than mental, has changed this theory.

It is also believed that there are several "generations" of special children. In Sam's case, we discovered that on the night of the fire, when he was six months old, the Demon fed some of his own blood to Sam. It can be assumed that the Demon did the same to each one of these children. Not all of the mothers were killed in a fire, however. It is likely that this only happened on the occasions when the Demon was interrupted while with the child.
