That perhaps the people who claim to see auras were in fact telling the truth due to having the right genetics to be able to observe this light.

They don't. It's normal visible light spectrum, just extremely weak. Nobody can see it with their eyes.

Supposedly the human eye can detect a single photon under the right conditions though.

This is like saying: "Nobody can jump over this 200m wall. - Nobody is a pretty strong claim." It's really beyond the scope of human vision overall, rather than "really hard".

		Those are ... two different things? People can pick up single photons, this is definitely within the realm of possibility. Btw, your level zero snark can be defeated by the "on which planet?" argument.
