Thirteen Ghosts - The Jackal Book Nook

I made a book nook of “The Jackal” from the Thirteen Ghosts movie. The Jackal is the ghost of Ryan Kuhn and the eleventh ghost featured in The Black Zodiac.

Born to a pro***tute at some point in the year 1887, Ryan Kuhn grew up to develop a sick and insatiable appetite for women. As a result, he became a sexual predator, attacking stray women and prostitutes in the dead of night with the cunning of a wild animal. Seeking to be cured of his insatiable appetite, Ryan committed himself to Borehamwood Asylum, where he eventually went completely insane after years of being imprisoned in a padded room. He scratched at his cell's walls so violently, that his fingernails were torn completely off, making his hands claw-like.

When Ryan attacked a nurse, the doctors decided to keep him permanently bound in a straitjacket and tied it tighter whenever Ryan acted out, contorting his limbs horribly. However, still fighting to free himself, Ryan gnawed through the straitjacket, so the doctors locked Ryan's head in a cage-type helmet and sealed him away in a dark basement cell, where he grew to hate any form of human contact, and would cower and scream madly whenever approached by people.

Following his death, Ryan's spirit remained bound to earth, and was subsequently captured by Cyrus Kriticos in order to become the Jackal. The Jackal was then moved to the basement of Basileus's Machine with the other eleven ghosts. The Jackal is the fifth ghost to be released.

He eventually comes across Kathy Kriticos, and viciously attacks her, clawing at her in an attempt to presumably rape her. But he is forced to release her when Kalina arrives and hurls a flare at the Jackal. He pursues Kathy, Kalina and Arthur, but is separated from them by a sliding glass door, the barrier spells preventing him from crossing.

Later, the Jackal re-encounters the group up in the house and attacks Arthur; viciously clawing at his back until Dennis Rafkin throws another flare to ward the ghost off. Later, a recording of a Latin chant causes the Jackal, along with the other eleven ghosts, to go to the center of the machine and power it up. When the Jackal and the other ghosts are freed from the trance, they throw Cyrus into a rotating crest of rings. The house then explodes, destroying its walls and freeing the Jackal and the other eleven ghosts.
