Granpere Phinque is a ghost from the Lurid Tales of Doom.
Profile[]
This old gentleman in 19th century garb eavesdrops on local gangs' planning sessions with his read mind ability, then materializes in the local police station, repeats the information, and disappears. When especially angered, or while waiting for the gendarmes to arrive, he may terrorize his punkish victims with a vaporous form and whispered threats.
