Ouroboros – The name of the world in this novel. The meaning of it is unknown.

Outbreaks – Occurs when portals to the Paracausal Realm open up, and Ghosts flow out of it into the real world. The portals that open will always be in an isolated location without any life around, but the Ghosts that spawn out of it will search for life to hunt down. This provides Ghost Hunters with an opportunity to get to the scene in time and deal with the Outbreak before the Ghosts run wild.
