But I do have ghosts and other guardians for nodes of power in my Trail of Cthulhu campaign Fearful Symmetries, and these are very much folklore influenced, and indeed, there's a couple of spooks at a crossroads which might require some dealing with should the PCs want to ritual access the node. But then I used a folktale as my source for what happens.

This was really interesting :) I wonder if there's something further to be said about the quests popping up in games more recently that make the bridge troll a sympathetic guardian and a "just doing a job" character - Pratchett's Troll Bridge being possibly the original example but I've seen quests in computer RPGs that riff on that (there's one in the Witcher 2 I think).
