The Rise of the Witnesses is a sign of the Apocalypse. It is one of the 66 Seals that, when broken, will unlock and open the "door" that traps Lucifer in his cage. The Witnesses are people who have seen, or died at the hands of, supernatural beings. They can be distinguished from normal ghosts by a symbol branded on them known as the "Mark of the Witness". Once summoned by the proper spells, they act in a manner similar to other vengeful spirits, but target a specific person with their wrath. They will kill the individual if they can. Once identified, they can be banished by a spell. According to Bobby Singer, its not their fault that they act this way: they were forced to rise and are like animals more than sane spirits.
