uh sort of? there are certain types of spirits that take on different forms sometimes it's something like a popular urban legend, sometimes it's someone you know who died, whatever
Like Slenderman, or a spirit pretending to be Slenderman, or however it works. 'Fictional' monsters that aren't actually fictional in practice for some reason.
la llorona i don't know if she's like actually a woman who killed her kids but there's definitely something that fits most of the stories black dogs are real too
yeah, there are different kinds they're big, spectral black dogs that are supposed to foretell death a lot of times they show up at crossroads or places where a lot of people have died that kind of thing but some of them are a little different and are more like guardian spirits

no subject
i don't know if she's like
actually a woman who killed her kids but
there's definitely something that fits most of the stories
black dogs are real too
no subject
[And so he's actually heard of it. But the other one--]
Black dogs?
[He's sure she doesn't mean just normal black dogs, but he's unfamiliar with this.]
no subject
they're big, spectral black dogs that are supposed to foretell death
a lot of times they show up at crossroads or places where a lot of people have died
that kind of thing
but some of them are a little different and are more like guardian spirits
no subject
[Maybe only from Harry Potter, but you know.]
Are they totally different types of creatures?
no subject
but a lot of them act differently or manifest differently or whatever
i guess it's like
fish?
no subject
You probably could've just said they're like dogs in that context and got the point across.
[He had to say it, okay, it's impossible not to.]
