- The Nightmare Face that Frankelda occasionally when she's really frustrated at Herneval. It shows that while she's a cheerful and bubbly spirit, she’s still a Spook herself (like the ones in her stories) and very dangerous.
- Most of the Spooks are very predatory in nature- they get up close and personal to their victims, primarily children, and poke and prod them where it hurts the most in order to get what they want.
- The most notable of these is El Coco from "Let's Get Out of the Darkness" where he stalks Tere from the shadows, feeding her disguised complements towards her music. He comes off very much like a pedophile stalking this child through her dark neighborhood. Ultimately he convinces her to give up what is essentially her passion for living because of all the bullying she's been put through; which is heavily implied to have been orchestrated by him in the shadows to get her passion. In the end? Tere is left an Empty Shell, with that piece of her soul crying out to her, asking why she would abandon her passion for such a petty reason.
- In the very first story "Give Me Your Name", a boy named Nemo tires of his life of responsibilities plaguing him, endless chores and homework with apparently no time to actually have any fun. A gnome approaches the boy and offers to do all of his chores in exchange for his name. Nemo accepts-and becomes a gnome himself, while the gnome takes Nemo’s place. Nemo has to watch this imposter live his life, and the only way he can escape being a gnome is to trick someone else into giving him their name and stealing their life. Doubles as a Tear Jerker.
