The restless ghost had tried to study the creatures - to his utter disappointment they were what one should technically call alive. They might look like shadows, but they were corporeal enough. Most importantly they could be killed - killed by those do-gooders who thought they should get rid of them. Killed by those who hunted for sport. Killed by one another if they were of a different species. Killed by the same species in fights over territory.
Almost like ordinary predators, but much, much more magical.
He can feel that, the ghost scientist. His tie to the Afterlife is weird like that, magical in itself: it feeds him and it pulls him back when he visits the world of the living for too long. He's dead, or supposed to be, and yet the ghost can visit the living every now or then. On Samhain he can even pretend to be alive, but not for long. Truth is, the Afterlife now has another veil that was breached. Where one tear exists - one that he caused himself, but cost him his life, for what that had been worth - one tear was not enough. Monsters had been carried through it, like a tunnel, like a portal. It's fascinating, but the creatures themselves... so far, they seem a little boring.
Not this one though. This one isn't from their... dimension. This one belongs here, this one feasts on the darkness but not on the flesh of the living. Not on fear or pain. This one just exists.
This one is curious, just like the ghost is. This one is studying.
-have you been through the veil yet- The ghost appears not unlike the shadow has, and possibly with the same intent.
Observe. Study. Examine. Learn.
Not many know what it is to live for knowledge and nothing else.
Live. He smiles to himself. Language is so limiting.

No mind to think. No will to break.
No voice, to cry out suffering.
