Among Hex Maniacs, some started as non-occult enthusiasts and turned to it after intense occult experiences. Academic trainers like Ace Trainers often lack knowledge about Ghost Types and haunted places, disregarding warnings from local Hex Maniacs and waltz into dangerously haunted places that they considered no different that any place with rowdy wild Pokémon, ending up in frightening or mind-altering situations, requiring rescue by the same Hex Maniacs whose warning they ignore.
Most recover but avoid such places afterward. However, a few embrace the occult, their minds warped or opened to a darker path. Covens of these Hex Maniacs form around specific Ghost Pokémon species they revere and serve.
