"On a dark and quiet street, a shadow awaits beheath a streetlight. You feel a presence behind you..."
Spirits are one of the kind of residence in Yomawari: Night Alone, and Yomawari: Midnight Shadows.
About Spirits[]
Spirits are the souls or embodiment of deceased people, deceased animals, inanimate objects, legends, rumors, and deities. They take up the streets and buildings during nighttime, roaming the areas and doing what they want to do by emotion, instinct, or intelligence.
A number of them can be hostile, not hostile but dangerous, friendly, or simply just moving about. In addition, some of them are also invisible in the dark, requiring a form of light to see them.
Furthermore, these Spirits are unable to see or sense people or animals if the latter are hiding from plain sight, like inside bushes or behind billboards.
Some of these Spirits may be completely undetectable by humans. These Spirits include Yui and Poro during the second game. However, they can be sensed by animals like Chaco.

Trivia[]
- In the "Yomawari: Night Alone - Countdown to Nightmares Teaser Trailer", a Spirit that takes the form of a large silhouette of the Doll Item appears in the video.
- According to the Staff Book that comes with the "Yomawari: Night Alone/HtoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary Limited Edition", some of the intended Spirits for the first game that didn't seem to make it in the final product are "Bug" and "Squatter".
- The "Squatter" shares similar features to the Solitary Spirit that appeared in the second game.
- In the Japanese version of the novel adaptation for the games, the Spirits are referred to "Yomawari" (Japanese for "night watcher"). It is not to be confused with Mr. Yomawari, as they are met to be two separate terms (the former referring to Spirits in general, while the latter refers to a specific kind of Spirit).
