He's just a spirit, so how is he able to leave such a mess behind?

Evil souls that escaped from Hell... Runaway spirits.

Personally, I believe in ghosts.

Of course not. My spirit remains strong.

I am but a spirit... I am but a whisper…

I freed the spirit trapped in the tree.

The Crones killed me… My spirit they captured… Imprisoned me in the tree...

Seems his spirit's become a horse-shaped umbra that's tormenting Pinastri.

Ignore the talk of spirits and creatures and such. It's just superstition.

The spirit of Skjor is with us on this errand. I feel him.

Even right this moment, I feel strange... when I don't think I should be feeling anything at all.

Be careful. The spirits can speak to the living if there's a strong connection.
