[@Hank] That's actually a way better suggestion than daemons. Given how many witches presumably go through their lives not being attacked by daemons on the level of their soul, I'd assume those events are actually comparatively rare, and generally not survived. And the ghosts of dead men past make for a way better Silent Hill theme than LOL SUPER-MONSTERS, especially if it's their actual souls (or fragments thereof) which are just about sustaining themselves on his own psychic power and limiting his real strength in the process.
