The Wraith and the Bell

[PowerfulStache]

We learn from the Wraith's backstory that he had a rough go of it with his job at Autohaven Wreckers, but we get no clue as to how he got the bell, and why it fits in with his character. What do you think happened after he killed Azarov to get him involved with the entity, and in possession of the wailing bell?

[Nahtu Ω]

I think when entity came across "Wraith", entity saw pontential killer in him. So entity offered him Bell, able to become almost fully invisible. Entity offered that bell, so wraith could dish punishment on those who has been wrongdoing against wraith. By time passes by, after each kill and slaughter wraith has done, he started to become more and more distance of himself, turning him into bloodthirtsty killer. Ofcourse this was entity's plan all along, gain entity a personal puppet doing all entity's deeds to satisfy entity.

Or something like that, my english isn't supreme and i have too much time on my hand

[Chimera]

that thing is the bosses spine why it's a tiny skull idk

[elordyy]

The skull is the head of azarov, his boss that he killed. When he murdered him he obviously ripped it out but where the bell came from I have no idea lol

[Vismel]

Whats also a mystery are the meanings of the addons for the bell.
Literally nearly all of them are some weird signs fingerdrawn in Mud/soot/white ink/blood.

Who knows, maybe Ojomo joined a cult after his ballistic action?

Diary of Philip Ojomo,

Running, not daring to stop all the while seething with hatred and violence still grasping the dripping spine.

I hear a whisper in the distance, was it in the distance or perhaps next to me? No time to stop I burst through the bush and shrubs without hesitation and without a clue as to my direction.

Time has passed...how much? I do not know. The sounds in this particular forest are strange. I swear that I can make out a form of noise beckoning me, calling my name. Still can't stop I must press on or they will find me and they will blame me they will persecute me! Can't let them catch me, must press on.

I hear it louder now but at the same time I cannot work out the direction the noise is coming from. Is it noise or in my head? Fear is creeping in around me but so is the fog my hand tightens around the dried and sticky human bludgeon.

The sound is deafening the fog thicker and despite changing directions it seems that fog is continuing to roll in around me, slowly enveloping my body. My mind is clouding and the searing pain in my torso and thighs is increasing. Panic. Will I escape? Where will I go? Please take me away just... I suddenly bellow "GET ME OUT OF THIS FOREST".

Blazing pain to compliment the intense hatred I am feeling, I hear voices, there is no escape from here I manage to find a gate however it is unpowered. Rage sets in why can't I escape what is that silhouette in the fog. Are there others trapped in here with me? Why would they not help me?

Hatred..burning rage and pain attack my body while this incessant whispering in my ears destroys my mind! So angry now. These people running around me, ignoring my pleading for help. Heres one of them now hiding in the corner. He doesn't see me, rage envelopes my mind and takes control of my body. I slowly approach the figure while tightening the grip on the blunt weapon...slowly I creep, reading my arms hatred burning my soul mind taunted by the pain and now excited whispering. My fingers stiffen around the sick horror in my hand as I bring the weapon down hard against his skull.

Instantly the fog envelops me, the figure drops to the floor. Dead. My pain has suddenly subsided and so has the taunting in my mind.

I take a step but my foot catches on something and I hear a low ding sound.

As I bend down and grasp the object I hear the whispers again, only this time I know what they are saying. I know that I have done well and I now know my purpose.

I kinda thought that Philip Ojomo had a rough past, like he's a former criminal and fled to another place thus ending up in Autohaven.

What bugs me though, is how can he transcend from the spiritual world to the living world... and why did he acquired such powers

I think you could be on to something, the trapper and Hillbilly's bio's tell us they had no problem with killing while Philip was horrified to discover what he had been doing in the scrap yard so the entity might have found it harder to control his mind, maybe when the bell rings it does something like weaken his willpower, thus making it easer for the entity to control him.

The "Wailing Bell", much like the Chainsaw and Bear Trap is a common item and can therefore be purchased at the local hardware store for a nominal fee.

I can already imagine entity going to local hardware store with shopping list for what to buy for the killers

I personally think that the Entity gave the Wraith his bell because on his own he is not a worthy killer.


The Trapper and the Hillbilly are killers in the finest sense. They voluntarily committed their murders, and they have been forged through their personal lives to have no fear or remorse when wielding their iconic symbols of death.


Philip however, committed murder out of a quick fit of rage...but when it comes down to it. All of his kills were on accident, not his fault. Even when he pushes Azarov into his own death it was a moment of rage rather than a genuine intention to kill someone.


Despite the fact that he committed murder, and thus is in some way eligible to be a killer for the Entity, he does not have the will nor the capability of actively killing survivors. The Entity likely had to torture him, long and brutally to make him into the killer he is now; to top this off, the Entity probably had to give him the bell in order to actually allow him to kill other people. This is why the bell has a supernatural power to it, whereas the Bear Traps and the Chainsaw are just raw natural killing tools. It may also explain why he is the most deformed out of all the killers. The hillbilly and Traper have their own wounds from their lives, but the Wraith is completely unrecognizeable as a human; he can't even make human sounds and has to snarl in a distorted way. There is no record or evidence to him being tortured in his real life, so it had to have been the entity that made him look like that.


The way he kills by turning invisible and using a weapon made out of, in his eyes, the true villains body part may be symbolic to how in some way he may feel he is blameless or doesn't relish the kills as much as the other killers do.

All killers powers are given by the entity, as its not actually the real world and theyd have no way to actually get access to their belongings
