THE PHANTOM GOES BY many names: El Coco, Nøkken, Mörkö, Babau, and the Boggin. There are countless others, depending on the country and culture that share the tales. Though it is a creature whose myth has grown, its actual origin can be traced back to the time of the druids. Ancient texts relate how a powerful specter was conjured by mystics as a means to control disobedient children. Its entire reason for being was to use fear as a tool to discipline defiant young ones.

However, the power of the phantom proved to be more of a problem than a solution. Its mindless craving to create fear only grew stronger as it spread terror by reaching into the minds of its young victims to show them the images and apparitions they feared most. Word of this frightening spirit spread throughout the ancient world, prompting the creation of stories and legends that continue to grow, even in modern times. Though most of the stories are myth, the monster itself is very real.

The ancients had no way of destroying it, but in its creation they anticipated a way to entrap and control it. Through the centuries it has been imprisoned many times, only to find its way loose to continue its insatiable quest to spread fear and terror.
