Death Glows

Death Glows are patches of Other-Light of varying intensity that linger in a place where something has died.

As a general rule, the more tragic or horrible the death, the brighter the Death Glow will be and the longer it will linger. Death Glows can be used as good indicators of murders which occurred long ago.

Death Glows can be so bright that anyone capable of seeing them will need to wear sunglasses, this is unlikely but not impossible.

Death Glows can be hidden from seers using conventional ghost-proofing substances, such as the garden of Harry Crisp, where he sprinkled Iron Filings to hide the supernatural evidence of his gruesome murders.

Animals can also leave death glows, in fact the first death glow mentioned in the series belongs to a dead mouse in the garden outside the Hope Residence. It is unclear however if animals can become ghosts.

Death Glows are easiest to see in the dark.
