* ''VideoGame/FearTheMoon'': While gathered around the campfire, Jack and James bring up the local urban legend of the Wolfman; the man who used to own the property the campground sits on – including a nearby house used as an animal sanctuary – mysteriously vanished many years back. According to the legend, he turned into a Wolfman and still lurks in the woods, preying on animals and occasionally people unfortunate enough to cross his path. There have been a few sightings of a large furry creature with glowing eyes and some missing person cases attributed to the Wolfman, though Jack is the only one who takes the legend seriously. The friends soon learn the hard way there's some truth in the story.

Majima says that he has always heard rumours about magic powers but dismissed them as tall tales, and even some of the highest-ranking members of the Tojo clan have no idea they exist.
