The Dead

In Salem the dead do not leave. They lie in the graveyard you raise for them, and on the worst nights they rise. Know what walks, and you will know how to meet it.

👻

The Restless Ghost

The common night-spirit - a soul that woke unsettled and drifts toward the warm, lit homes.

🫧

The Wailer

A gaunt, screaming banshee. It moves fast and its cry carries fear across the whole town.

🌑

The Shade

A hooded shadow - only its eyes show. Hard to see coming, and it likes the unlit corners.

🌀

The Poltergeist

A small, grabby mischief-spirit. Less deadly than loud, but it will rattle a household raw.

🧟

The Revenant

A risen corpse in a tattered shroud. Slow, but far tougher than any drifting spirit.

🕊

The Peaceful Spirit

A soul that died content. It glows soft green, moves gently, and means the town no harm.

💢

The Bitter Spirit

A soul that died wronged - faster, stronger and angrier than the common dead. It does not rest easy.

🧙

The Witch

The old fear made real. Whether she is among your people is a question the town will ask itself.

🦇

The Vampire

A rarer dark that comes for the living by night. A test for a town that thought it was safe.

🌫

The Mist

Not a creature but a weather of the dead - a creeping fog that smothers light and hides what moves in it.
