Many people had undoubtedly died here, and hundreds, if not thousands of years ago. Furthermore, places of great death tend to attract other ethereal beings... some of them ghosteaters, and others even more dangerous.<br/><br/>It seemed that they began to sense him on their plane, but could not discern where.
