How it's used
Often used to describe a person's unsettling or sinister aura rather than a literal supernatural presence. It implies a sense of moral corruption or a vibe that makes people feel instinctively uncomfortable or wary. While it can appear in ghost stories, it is frequently applied to people who seem untrustworthy or malicious.
