‘The Halloween Sentinel’ by PoGo Frames, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
‘The Shiny Dusknoir, known as the Halloween Sentinel, emerges from the shadows once a year on Halloween night. Its golden hue glows eerily in the dark as it drifts silently through graveyards and abandoned streets. Legends say this Dusknoir acts as a gatekeeper between the living and the dead, guiding lost souls to the afterlife while punishing those who disturb the balance between worlds. Appearing without warning, the Sentinel strikes fear into those who cross its path, though it is said to spare those who show respect for the spirits. Locals light candles in their windows to ward off its chilling gaze, knowing that once the night is over, Dusknoir vanishes until the next Halloween.’
