Minor Spirit

Rhinoceros dolphin

An alleged or dubious cetacean first reported by French naval surgeons Jean René Constant Quoy and Joseph Paul Gaimard in 1819 and later treated in cryptozoological literature and popular reference pages.

Shadow People
Minor Spirit

Shadow people are a contemporary paranormal concept describing animate, human-shaped shadow-like presences. Presented primarily in modern paranormal media and practitioner discourse, they are often interpreted as spirits or unseen presences rather than as elements of a specific historic folk cosmology.

Lesser

Sheela na Gig
Minor Spirit

Sheela na Gig

A medieval figurative architectural carving of a naked woman displaying an exaggerated vulva, found on churches, castles and other buildings across parts of Europe. Scholarly interpretations disagree on original function—proposed roles include apotropaic protection of thresholds, survivals of fertility/mother‑goddess imagery, or medieval moralizing images condemning female lust—while modern groups sometimes reappropriate the motif in neopagan and artistic contexts.

Sinope
Lesser

Sinope

Sinope is primarily an ancient toponym (the city Sinop on the Black Sea) and an eponymic figure in Greek myth (a daughter of the river-god Asopus). In the provided sources it functions as a place-name and origin-identifier for historical figures and modern namings (moon, moth genus) rather than as a discrete supernatural agent with consistent appearance, powers, or ritual traditions.

Skinwalker
Greater

Skinwalker

In Navajo cultural framing, the skinwalker (English label) denotes a harmful witch who can turn into, possess, or disguise themselves as an animal. The English term has also been appropriated in contemporary U.S. paranormal and media contexts (notably the named Skinwalker Ranch), where it labels a cluster of anomalous reports distinct from the Navajo witchcraft meaning.

Minor Spirit

Specter of Newby Church

An alleged photographic apparition captured in a 1963 interior photograph of the Church of Christ the Consoler on the grounds of Newby Hall, North Yorkshire. The image is circulated in popular paranormal media and skeptical analysis as a famous example of a purported ghost photograph rather than a figure embedded in traditional folklore.

A regionally anchored lake monster of Jämtland, Sweden, variously attested as a bound sjöorm (lake‑serpent) depicted in local rune lore and as a troll‑created cat‑headed serpent; it figures in 17th‑century manuscripts, runestone tradition, later folktales and recurring modern eyewitness/cryptid reports from the 19th century onward.

Lesser
