Night Haunt

Over the years, pirates and other sailors came to the isle and were slain by the ghosts of Port Oakes. Their souls are added to this ghastly crew, which continues to grow to this very day. Beware the Night Haunt's touch, for their spectral sabers can cut flesh as well as any physical blade.

Night Terror

These ghosts look vaguely like ethereal French soldiers in their dress, but most of this is obscured by their transparent nature. Their faces are wide-eyed, while their mouths cycle constantly through a litany of screams and curses. Their hands and arms are pale red, stained with the life force of the hundreds they have slain.
