A belief in a supernatural power not part of supernatural beings is referred to as animatism. For those who hold this belief, the power is usually impersonal, unseen, and potentially everywhere. It is neither good nor evil, but it is powerful and dangerous if misused.

The show is based on the concept of urban legends, folklore, and various supernatural myths and creatures from around the world. The overarching storyline also delves into biblical and apocryphal lore, creating a rich and diverse universe for the characters to explore.
