I also always liked Baykok, a spirit in the great lakes region that looked like a skeleton covered in translucent skin with glowing red eyes that would kill warriors and eat their liver. I also read a description that said they would cut a man open with surgical precision, eat part of their liver, then sew them back up to die a long painful death.


On a more modern note, any of the spirits, and pretty much anything that happens in the "spirit world" in FEAR scares the hell out of me.
That sounds scary!
