Because very often the 'sensitives' cannot back up their pronouncements with actual fact.
The usual situation is thus:
Sensitive joins investigation of a reputed haunted location. While no other investigators experience anything, the 'sensitive' has a really dramatic experience and tells rollicking tales of nasty men, pitiful servants, lost/unrequited love etc. Meanwhile, the rest of the investigation team are expected to hang on to their every word, giving them credibility for future investigations.
One approach I've heard of which impresses me more is of a psychic medium who, using a self-illuminating pad, wrote down the time, their impressions, even things that they experienced ... but kept it to themselves until the team had a de-brief and compare notes; the 'sensitive' contributing last. This way, the sensitive had no influence over the other investigators.
