Ghost? Demon?

Depending on the spirit, experiences may vary, which is why some protection in the pocket doesn't hurt.

I love how no one else brought up any other possible conclusions. nope, just went straight to ghosts and spirits lol. btw a mortal wound means you wouldn't have survived it.

Mortal wound implies a usually deadly wound, though it was probably a mix up in terminology so lay off, its the internet. And of coarse it could be something else but we're providing information of what spiritual activity could be and all so they can deal with the problem.

..Help who?
