|text= A revenant. Okay, you'll need a casket and some silver spikes. Oh, and don't get bit. No, it won't turn you, but it will hurt like hell. Okay, so, once you got all that, nail that sucker in, bury him, and throw away the key.

==History==
A revenant is a visible [[ghost]] or animated corpse that returns to terrorize the living, usually people it knew in life. Unlike the [[zombie]], a revenant is not under another person's control, and has returned from the grave on its own for a specific and often personal purpose. Revenants react to [[silver]] and can only be stopped by nailing them into their coffins with silver spikes.
===[[8.06 Southern Comfort]]===
Ending up on the same case as Sam and Dean, [[Garth]] takes a call from a [[hunter]] named Earl asking how to deal with a revenant. Garth tells him to get a casket and some [[silver]] spikes, then nail it in and bury it. He also warns that getting bit will hurt like hell, but will not turn you into one.
