This is a list of all the monsters you may encounter in the supernatural world, and how to dispose of them. This is for reference for each member of the site, if for instance you can't remember what it takes to kill a wendigo. Make use of this guide, and you shouldn't be too lost.
Wendigos--
Wendigos are wood-dewling creatures that survive by eating the flesh of human beings. They are immortal and hibernate for years at a time, and survive these hibernations by storing live humans in a cave until they are needed. Wendigos were originally men, who became trapped in the woods during a storm, and were forced to eat their fellow townspeople. Eating the flesh of humans can give special powers, such as mmortality, increased speed and strength, and so if you eat enough of it you become something else, a wendigo. To kill a wendigo, you have to set it on fire.
Shapeshifters--
The shapeshifter can not only take on the appearance of a human, but the longer it stays in that "skin" it gets the original memories of the person it is replicating. It must keep the original person alive to maintain the psycic connection to them. The only way to identify a shapeshifter from the original person is the eyes. A shapeshifter has silver eyes. When changing shapes the shapeshifter must go through a painful sheding of the current skin, and then transform into the new one. You kill a shapeshifter by shooting it with a silver bullet in the heart.
Vampires--
Vampires are creatures that were once human but have been infected with vampire blood. Vampires are not repelled by crosses or garlic, sunlight and a stake through the heart will not kill them. The only way to kill a vampire is to behead them. Most vampires sleep during the day, and have an insatiable bloodlust. They look human until they come to feed, when a second set of fangs decend. Vampires are also poisoned by being infected with Dead Mans Blood.
Reapers--
Every culture has its own legends about reapers, or the grim reaper. They are the only creatures that can control life and death. They cannot be killed or stopped, and can only be seen by the person they are coming to take. Reapers can be controlled by very old and very dark magic, a cross and alter are needed in order to control one. Once the alter and cross are destroyed, the Reaper is free to take whome it wants to, and will probably take the person who has been controling it. Reapers can also affect reality and human perception, making themselves look however they want to.
Tulpas--
A Tulpa is a Tibetan thought form. Tulpa's are created by using a Tibetan spirit sigil symbol, and the power of belief. If enough people focus on an idea, and belive in it the Tulpa will come to life. Once the idea has been created, a Tulpa takes on the life of its own.
Shtrigas--
A Shtriga is an Albanian witch that feeds on 'spiritous vitae' of life's breath. Shtrigas prefer to feed on children, as their life-force is stronger than that of an adult. Once it feeds on a child, the child's immune system begins to shut down, and the child falls into a coma, and eventually dies. The Shtriga is immortal and invunerable to all weapons exept when it feeds, and is in disguise during the day.
Rakshasas--
Rakshasas are creatures of Hindu origin which can appear in human form. They feed on human flesh and can make themselves invisible. They cannot enter a home without first being invited, and their human forms do not age, and are invunerable to most weapons and they must be killed with a dagger made from pure brass. They sleep on a bed of dead insects and feed every 20 to 30 years.
Werewolves--
Werewolves turn into a human-form, bloodthirsty monster with increased strength and agility, along with canine like teeth and claws, rather than a wolf itself. It is triggered by the moon, and in order to turn, the werewolf must first be sleeping. After the person has turned, once they turn back they do not remember any of the events which took place in their werewolf form. There is no cure for someone who has become a werewolf, and the way to kill a werewolf is a silver bullet to the heat.
Changelings--
A Changeling is a creature that can take the form of a human child. A mother Changeling controls the actions of the child Changelings, and steals the real children from families, keeping them alive and feeding from them. The Changelings take their place, feeding from the human mothers (feeding on their synovial fluid). The human mothers eventually waste away, and anyone who comes between the changeling and their human mother is killed. The true appearance of a changelingincludes a dead looking face, with slimy skin, hollowed eyes and mouth with many sharp teeth. This can be seen in the Chanelings reflection. To kill a changeling, you must kill the Mother; to do this, you have to set them on fire.
Tricksters--
The Trickster is a God, an immortal creature who has the ability to alter reality, and thrives on bringing people who think too highly of themselves down. The Trickster feeds on sweets and consumes a lot of calories due to its increased metabolism. To kill a Trickster, it must be stabed with a steak dipped in the blood of its victims.
Witches--
Witches are humans who sell their souls to be taught the craft. Usually a demon will integrate itself into the human life, and form a coven. The demon will then tempt these women with the gift of magic, usually to allow them to get what they desire, in exchange for their souls. The humans who sell their souls to the demon then go to Hell, and later become demons themselves. Witches are humans and can be killed by human methods, but they have the power to kill people remotely using curse bags hidden some where near the victim.
Daevas--
Daeavas are Zoroastrian shadow demons. They can be called and controlled using an alter and a Zoroastrian symbol. Daeavas are actually invisible demons, the shadow of which is the only part visible. They kill by ripping the heart out of their victim. When the blood splatters from the body, it falls into the symbol used to call them. Daeavas do not like to be controlled and will turn on their master once the control is broken. Daeavas are hard to kill, but one way to banish them for a short amount of time is to create a bright light, such as setting off a flair.
Dijinns--
A Djinn is a form of Genie from Arabian mythology that grants a person's innermost wish by touching them. The person does not even have to say the wish aloud. Once the wish has been granted, the victim falls into a dream-like state where they belive this dream world to be reality, the Djinn keeps them in this state while it feeds off of their blood. To kill a Djinn, you must use a Silver weapon dipped in Lambs blood.

Exorcisms can dispel the demon from the host body and send it back to Hell if done correctly.
Ghosts--
Many believe that ghosts are harmless, but they can be very much real. Ghosts are the apparition of a person bound to this world for whatever reason--grieving, revenge, protectors--and can be the most dangerous. Rock salt shots or iron are ways to make them vanish, but only temporarily. To defeat a ghost, you must find what is binding it to the world still, which is usually some sort of biological remains, but can also be an object or person--can salt and burn the remains.
Wraiths--

They can be killed with a brass knife.
Alphas--
There is lore about Alphas, or the original form of a creature--the first shape shifter, the first vampire. However they were made, these were the creatures that began the population of their race. They are by far way more powerful both physically and in whatever form their general power is.
