We've all been frightened of ghouls, monsters and boogeymen under our beds as children. But we grow up and loose that fear. We think, and logically so, that these things don't exist and never did. The simple fact is that these boogeymen have lost interest in us by the time we hit adulthood.
Did you ever have stories of creepy old women that live with lots of cats down your road as a child. Or the bloke that hung around outside the school gates? Most of the time these people are harmless but one in ten times there is something truly disturbing about them. These people are soul stealers. They are the booeymen. They hunt for the souls of the young.
Today I saw one, smiling at a baby, a hungry look in her eyes. Hopefully the parents will take that little boy home and he'll never remember.
Not all soul stealers are people though. They're also the goblins under the bridges. Not far from my home there is a railway bridge that is home to a soul stealer. He lives in the darkness and feeds on those stupid enough to enter his home without the protection of the train.
