Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Shaded Possession
“Wraiths can’t feel. Can’t touch. But the dead can see far more than we can”
Sand blows around David as he dips into the Realms of Death, and a dark, person sized shadow slips from those sands to fill his eyes as black as night.
David in his many travels through Realms of Death, encountered a nameless and sensation starved shade. A ghost, trapped amidst the great sands, that longed to experience life again. The wraith could see echoes of the living world through its reflections in the after and it craved to be able to see again. So David struck a deal with it—in exchange for sharing its longing sight when called for, he would let it possess and share his body. For that brief couple of hours, the wraith could share in his sense of taste, and smell, and touch, and all the other sensations of what it is to be living.
