Catalog of Spirits and Entities
By Marcus Cordey
The world in which we live is not the world as it truly is. Our perception of the Universe is one that
is ever-changing and in constant flux. Whether that is because our perception of the Universe
changes, or that the Universe itself is changing, we can never truly know. What we can say is that
the "fact" of yesteryears now seems absurd today, and the facts of today will no doubt be
disproved in years to come. Things once imagined as fantastic have through science become
revealed -- ancient creatures of the deep have been discovered, civilizations once believed to be
myth have been uncovered, and evermore evidence gathers to support phenomenon both
paranormal and supernatural (though arguably nothing in nature is can be super-natural).
Since the beginning of human history, stories of strange spirits, demons, and creatures of the night
have haunted mankind. Indeed, some tales were exaggerated reports of exotic beast from far
away lands, while others might have been wholly fabricated by their teller. But some, such as
those of a higher and more spiritual nature, are not so easy to discount, nor are those which have
for centuries remained indelibly etched in the human psyche. Should such accounts be dismissed
merely because modern science may fail to unearth their mysteries, or should they be more closely
examined, as though with the critical eye of a police investigator concerned only with collecting
credible observations and first hand accounts?
