spirits

After 100 years, household objects gain spirits and come alive—umbrellas sprout eyes, sandals grow teeth, teapots scuttle on new legs. These Tsukumogami can be harmless and helpful, or vengeful toward wasteful owners who discarded them. In Japan, even your tools deserve respect.

Dressed in white burial shrouds, with long black hair covering their faces, Gwisin are Korean ghosts who cannot rest. They died violently, unjustly, or with unfulfilled desires—and now they haunt the living, seeking vengeance, closure, or simply to be remembered.

Beautiful, alluring, and deadly—Xtabay appears as a stunning woman with long black hair, calling to men from beneath the ceiba tree. Those who follow her embrace find thorns instead of silk, and by morning, they're found dead, wrapped in the tree's deadly roots.

When you hear her cry in the night—a sound like wind through a graveyard, like a mother mourning her child—you know: death is coming. The Banshee doesn't kill. She simply announces that someone in your family will die. And her wail is never wrong.

The scent of frangipani, the rustling of unseen footsteps, and distant laughter—these are the telltale signs of a Pontianak’s presence. Beware, for once she notices you, escape is uncertain.

The Djinn, ancient and enigmatic, exist beyond the veil of human perception, sometimes tricksters, sometimes allies, but always powerful and unpredictable.

In the rivers, forests, and coasts of New Zealand, mythical beings like taniwha, patupaiarehe, and marakihau guard the natural world and challenge those who dare trespass.
