Hey! I'm watching Hollywood Babylon, and when Sam is arguing with the writer about the script, he mentions "Enochian summoning rituals". S. and I both looked up at once -- I never noticed that before!
Mal: And I never back down from a fight. Inara: Yes, you do! You do all the time!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh. Must be fanfiction that's put revenant in such a big place in my head then. I could have sworn it had come up more often as something to test for.

I've generally heard it in the context of the returning spirit re-animating its body, rather than just being an angry ghost like the Witnesses.

I'm trying to think of creatures they haven't encountered for S6. They've done zombies and vampires twice now, and I'm not sure werewolves need another turn. Time Is On My Side featured the sort of Frankenstein-ish creature Buffy battled, except that the creature and the scientist were one in the same (which was actually a fairly cool twist).
The lack of other really familiar supernatural beasts is probably what led to angels vs. demons and all that, actually. Even in YA paranormal fiction now, it's all faeries and angels and psychics where it isn't vampires, because there's just not a lot else out there, I guess.

However "faerie" covers one hell of a lot: Goblins, Sidhe, Banshees, Rawhides, Redcaps, pixies, gnomes - just off the top of my head. Also I always felt the Wild Hunt was an extremely TV friendly legend that horror shows should explore more.

Well, they can fall back on the urban legends they started out with -- there's a lot they can play with there.
Faeries would be funny. If only for the "Why are we hunting gay people, Sam?" and the resulting eyeroll and bitchface.

I mean they did do that one Faerie colony - Faerie Queen and changelings. But many many other type of faeries.

They didn't identify the changelings as part of the fae, though, as far as I recall.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Hmm. Faerie could be interesting. The Wild Hunt could be very interesting on a thematic level as well as just being really cool.
I would also like to see them deal with some non-western creatures at some point, if it could be done without too much research!fail. Kitsune or jiang shi could be fun.

They did, a bit, right? The demon at Cold Oak was non-western.
Jamaican folklore would rock. Iffen I had the chops, I'd write them up against a rolling calf or other duppies.
I did read a fic, I'm now remembering, where Dean had a kid with a kitsune. That was...weird.
