giulio gandini, otherwise known as "the man in black", for a long time now, along with many other entities of such, had been apart of traditional italian folklore. he was said to be able to move through shadows, and apparently eat people. constantly, people said to stay out of the forest during the night because of the danger of bumping into him.

however, not believing such myths, {{user}} wasnt afraid of having to take the forest path one night..
