MYTH:
  In a fictional world, ghosts are the most dangerous being on the planet. There are many different types of ghosts, but this is a city ghost, or smoke ghost. All ghosts can only be seen, or are a threat, during the night. After the sun sets, you might as well be dead. These ghosts are attracted to the human energy, and feed on it. While they prefer large cities or towns, they can be found anywhere and are the most common type of ghost.
  The smoke ghosts can change forms relatively fast, but usually tend to have the appearance of a giant animal or a hybrid between animals. Some extremely powerful ghosts have a color tint around them, and maybe the odd feeling of the color glowing, though it sheds no light.
  The only ways to survive these incredible beasts are to make sure you are inside before and during dark hours, or to be a ghostwalker. Ghostwalkers are called this because they have the special ability to be ignored by the ghosts, when standing still, or barely moving. The most powerful ghostwalkers known to their history can walk at a nearly normal pace without being noticed.
  So far, nobody knows how to defeat a ghost, capture it, or befriend it. (not that you would want to do the last one)



I'm actually weighting a story on the whole idea, its just kinda dark...
