  • The Wild Hunt: A group of ghostly or supernatural beings in search of souls to chase and steal away, variations are found throughout European folklore. It is said witnessing a Wild Hunt is an omen of disaster.
  • El Silb?n: A legendary figure in the countries of Colombia and Venezuela and known for his eerie whistle. Why is it that whistling at night is such a taboo?
  • The Baubas: An example in a long line of creepy bogeymen intended to scare children into correcting their bad behavior.
