infrequent, the government has been actively surpressing knowledge of
these creatures, and that the human mind is predisposed to disbelieve
the unbelievable (If some guy comes up to you on the street and tells
you there really ARE monsters in the world, chances are you call the
police).

anybody surpressing the reports of a spectre of some poor old (dead)
lady that checks on the kids at night.

entities (Abominations, not ghosts.) is the fact that the very beings
capable of creating them don't WANT there to be common knowledge.

in HoE, is there any organisation trying to cover up the mysterious - or
is it all out in the open now.
