Bobby: Well you've got, just over five hours to go? You're piercing the Veil, Dean. You're glimpsing the B-side.
Dean: A little less new age-y please.
Bobby: You're almost Hell's bitch. So, you can see Hell's other bitches.
– Bobby and Dean, 3.16 No Rest for the Wicked
The Veil appears to be the plane of existence on Earth that ghosts, demons, hellhounds and reapers are able to inhabit; and in the case of angels and demons occupying vessels, are able to perceive it. Symbols such Enochian runes/warding can be painted and hidden within the Veil, and can only be visible to those who can pierce/inhabit it.[1] A human will begin to pierce through the Veil once a crossroads demon contract is up, allowing them to see hellhounds and the true faces of demons.[2] In addition to Heaven, Hell and Purgatory rogue reapers appear to have secret ways in and out of the Veil.[3]
The ancient Celts believed that October 31st was the one night of the year where the Veil was thinnest between the living and the dead.[4] And used the night to appease the demon Samhain, who was able to summon spirits (among other supernatural entities) from the Veil onto the earthly plane.
