Night mares appear as large, black, misty
horses with Barning red eyes. Some say
they’re the ghosts of cruelly treated horses.
They look fully solid on the head, torso, and
upper legs, but the lower legs seem like mist,
though thls is (somerimes) only an illusion.
These ghosts of wild horses appear only
at night, and they can normally be heard
before they can be seen. Ac the approach
of a night mare, the area grows unnaturally
quiet. Sometimes, the only audible sound is
the thunder of the hooves. At ocher times,
the steeds are so stealthy chat they can’t be
heard umil they’re dose enough co mike.
The sudden appearance of one of these
creatures snorting steam can be a most
unnerving event.

Headless Entities
The Headless Horseman of legend is
one a type of spectral creatures that seek
to regain in death what it had lost or been
denied in life, in the case of the Headless
Horseman, that is, a new head. Other,
similar entities may seek a hand, a heart,
or even something immaterial such as love
or respect. Universally, these entities are
driven to commit terrible acts in order to
achieve their goals.
Gremlins
Gremlins are the most feared creature in any
society advancing in technology. While they are not
the most powerful supernatural creatures, they have
the ability to cause machines of all sorts to cease to
function properly.
Ghosts
Those who investigate paranormal phenomena have long understood the link between ghosts and souls of the living. The smartest researchers understand there are potentially as many types of ghosts as there are souls. Nevertheless, scholars of the paranormal classify most miscellaneous ghosts into several broad classes. Some theorize that these classes of ghosts follow an “evolutionary” progression, ranging from least to most advanced. Although the amount of psychic energy a spirit possesses is a partial indication of its strength, it’s not all-encompassing; in much the same way that a giant amoeba can be a large but basic life form, so too can a ghost be powerful but unevolved.
Flesh Constructs
In the nineteenth century, science gave the world steam engines, telephones, vaccines, and dozens of other marvels that form the foundation of modern technological achievement. Despite these glorious accomplishments, this was also the time in which darker ambitions festered in remote castles, basements of sanitariums, and secluded universities. This twisted, “mad” science did not make miracles; it made monsters of flesh and bone.
Fey Folk
Fey folk come in many forms; among the most often seen manifestations are the brownie, the fairy, the leprechaun, nymph, and the pixie. These are not the only forms that the fey folk come in, as they are associated with everything in nature and some artificial constructions as wd1.
Fanatical Cultist
Cults have existed nearly as long as civilization. Humanity is a fractious, conflict-prone lot that seeks a homogeneity that historically has proven impossible to achieve. Since the dawn of time, people have tried to convert others to their way of thinking. This has been true of philosophy, strategy, efficiency, and perhaps most importantly, religion.
Evil Clowns
The transient nature of traveling shows such as carnivals and circuses lure all manner of strange characters and mystical entities. lt’s for good reason that carnie folk are highly superstitious; interlopers carry with them a sort of supernatural baggage that flourishes in the soup of sin and innocence that pervades the big top. One of the many types of paranormal denizens of the traveling show are the evil downs.
Doppelgangers
Parapsychologists believe doppelgangers to be unique in the parapsychological world because they arc living spirits. In other words, although composed of the same energies as ghosts and poltergeists, they are not the produce of the spirit world, nor do they belong to one who is deceased. Doppelgangers are little known in a “natural” stare, and generally only become known when they impose themselves in the lives of victims. At that point, the damage they can cause is tremendous.
Disembodied Parts
One of the most curious obsessions that necromancy has is the fascination with animating individual body parts without some kind of unifying structure, namely, a torso, to connect chem. While a floating head may not be a combat effective as an axe-wielding skeleton or as good at manual labor as a zombie, these “spare parts” given life have uses all their own.
