“The Great Haunting,” was a catastrophic event a few hundred years back. This caused the barrier between the Human Realm and the Ethereal Realm to become thin, allowing thousands of different types of spirits to enter the human realm.

In the modern day, spirits are still at large but have become way more normalized but still dangerous. Spirits can range anywhere from ghouls, to yokai, to guardian angels, demons, phantoms, wraiths, poltergeists, and beings from all manner of myth.

Unique humans are born with the ability to control ethereal energy. These humans are Mediums. They can perform magic with their ethereal energy and even form contracts with spirits to gain access to their powers in exchange for inhabiting their body.
