Spidersilk has many amazing elements that are part of today's paranormal intrigue. One element is the strange mist that often accompanies an appearance that enlightens Mark, or tries to bring him fear. The mist always seems to make an appearance in a dark nature which is commonly seen in today's world by many who believe in ghost. This dark mist is called an ectoplasm in today's paranormal world and is one of the most common ghost sightings that many parapsychologists are asked to investigate. In the book Mark ends up defeating the mist, but in today's world we actually have very few answers as to which mists are real and which are hoaxes.
