As many of you already know, the Scourge have been mounting attacks on various neutral zones of Azeroth. When killed, these invading undead occasionally drop a [Haunted Memento]. Using this item throws it to another player, who will then receive it in his/her inventory. The unsuspecting recipient will also become haunted by a Scourge Haunt, a black shade that follows the player around. The only ways to resummon this spook are to have another player throw the memento back to you, to deposit and then withdraw it from the bank, or to teleport from one zone to another. Players cannot target or otherwise interact with the haunt, though it does show up on undead tracking.
Since this new "companion" does not qualify as a true vanity pet, it will not be added to the database. However, in the spirit of the haunting season, we felt it worth mentioning.
