Fright
Source: Valda’s Spire of Secrets (2024) p. 0
Hauntings can usually be attributed to the usual spectral suspects: ghosts, specters, shadows, and poltergeists. But benign hauntings, where the restless spirit merely plays tricks on the living, is usually caused by a fright. These spirits are usually the artifacts of children or entertainers, clinging to the afterlife for company and a semblance of affection, and are as such preoccupied with fun. They never willingly harm others when they haunt a house, and will serve any master that conjures them, if only for the sake of inclusion.
