Reverend Watts is blind but has some degree of second sight as his dress is immaculate and he can perceive ghosts like Cora Fisher as well as the true nature of whomever he encounters. He's also capable of imbuing items with "holy spirit" to make them rather effective against evil and it's minions. He also used prayer to remove the illusory youth and sight from his being that Miser Witkins had attempted to bribe him with. His greatest powers though are steadfastness and understanding of the human heart.
