There can be so many reasons. Some people seem to be wired for such experiences more than others. My wife's family shares this trait.
When my wife was a teen, she didn't always go where she said was going to on her dates. Often, after sneaking off somewhere she shouldn't be, and coming home thinking she got away with it, her mother would greet her upon her return and ask her, "Why did you go to the rock concert when you said you were only going to your friend's house?" My wife couldn't believe she had been caught. She asked her mother how she knew that?? Her mother told her, "Your great grandmother came and told me what you were doing." So she had the spirits of her ancestors watching over her and turning her in to her mother when she was naughty!
My wife's brother had the gift of seeing his and other people's guardian angels. He didn't like that ability because he felt it placed too much responsibility on him. He became inactive in the church and regularly smoked because that would close his ability to see the spirits. He passed away from a heart attack when he was only 54 years old. His family felt sorry that he had never been to the temple and was not living up to his potential when he died. Years later, my mother in law's younger sister died. Some time after that, her sister came and visited with my mother in law. Among the things they spoke about, her sister told her not to worry about her oldest son. He was progressing very well in the spirit world and was learning all the things of righteousness he failed to learn while on earth. She told his mother that he was going to go far in his progress and she would be very proud of him.
My mother in law was a temple worker in the Provo Temple. One time she was the follower on a session. After the patrons had all come in, she was surprised to see her younger sister, who had passed away a year earlier, enter the room from the door and was directing a bunch of other sister spirits where to go in preparation for the session. Her sister looked at her and gave her happy smile. This confirmed to my mother in law that there is temple work in the spirit world that is associated with our temple work here.
My mother in law once attended General Conference in the Tabernacle Building and had a seat not very far from the front. During the meeting, she suddenly started smiling and gave a quick, little wave towards the front of the building. She later described that there were some empty seats off to the side of the choir, and she saw a man sitting there who was not singing. She was startled when she realized it was the Savior. He knew the moment she recognized Him, and He turned and smiled at her. This is when she excitedly waved. No one else sitting with her could see Him there.
My wife's niece seems especially tuned to viewing visiting spirits. When she was a very young child, around 3 or 4 years old, her parents took her to see the temple. They couldn't take her inside, but they enjoyed visiting the grounds. As they were leaving, the little girl waved towards towards the temple and said, "Goodbye, animals!" Her mother told her they hadn't seen any animals during their visit. The girl told her mother there were animals inside the temple, that they lived in a beautiful garden, and they were happy. Her mother realized her little girl was describing the temple film, which she had never seen, but somehow knew about.
This girl's family had lived in Orem for this girl's entire life, and that culture was all the girl knew. Then they moved to South Carolina, where she was the only LDS youth in her school. She was teased and isolated because she was different - in accent, in culture, and in religion. She was very miserable and depressed. One day when she was about 13 years old, her family was a in church meeting - I can't remember if it was a Stake Conference or maybe even a temple dedication. This girl was feeling very down about life when she felt something warm and soft on her feet. She looked down and there she saw her two dogs that shared their lives with her but had long since died, snuggled closely around her feet and ankles. Their spirits had come to comfort and console her!
