Weepers are a known phenomena of the Weeping Hollow, though some insist them to be actual creatures. They are invisible and manifest when an individual with especially repressed memories and emotions passes through the valley.

As travelers move through the hollow a weeper will sometimes attach itself to them, following the individual wherever they go. The weeper causes the individual to be smothered by the repressed emotions it manifested from as the memories invade their dreams in fragments and broken whispers play at the edge of their senses at all hours of the day and night.

Some who have a weeper attached will return to the valley to try to rid themselves of it through repression but run the risk of having a weeper with even worse memories or emotions take its place.

Once a weeper has attached to an individual the memories and emotions persist indefinitely so long as the individual actively resists them. Those who take the time to experience and process the emotions and memories tend to find the weeper's presence lessen and, eventually, disappear entirely. A few citizens in Nodd specialize in guiding other citizens through this experience to better enable them to rid themselves of particularly clingy weepers.
