The spirit is of unknown origin but is filled with anger and ill intent, so Pumpkingeist is very hostile and will attack when encountered. It's known to become active in mid-autumn, most notably on October 31st, earning the nickname "Halloween Phantom." It stays hidden within a large patch of woods that is rumored to be enchanted.
