Only some of these horrors qualify as paranormal entities.
That makes him just as scary as any other spirit.
As fans have pointed out, he basically resembles a giant teapot.
This doesn’t stop him from being an incredibly alarming entity.
The Dutchmans Lodge, where he resides, is scary in and of itself.
7Jumping Man
Relatively speaking, the Jumping Man (Carlton Lee Russell) appears onscreen only briefly.
Hes first seen in the convenience store sequence inFire Walk With Me, then again inThe Return.
This doesnt mean it isnt a memorably frightening performance, though.
Russells physical acting is especially gripping.
When we see the Jumping Man, he is moving in an inhuman manner as he silently screams.
Russell is a performance artist with a background as a clown – so already pretty scary!
The Jumping Mans prosthetics, on the other hand, appear to be part of his actual face.
Judy is immensely powerful, although the extent of their horrors mostly happen off-screen.
While we dont see a lot of Judy, what we do see of them is nerve-racking.
Mrs. Tremond and Pierre may be the same entity as two vessels.

Although they appear as two individuals, they only ever appear together.
This suggests that they may be connected in the same vain as the One-Armed Man and The Arm.
4The Arm/Man From Another Place
Like Jeffries, The Arm has two forms.

In one form, he appears as a human.
He wears an all-red suit, like the Jumping Man.
The Arm is an extension of the One-Armed Man.

When the One-Armed Man stopped killing, he became benevolent.
This suggests that all the evil contained in the One-Armed Man got shifted into this new entity.
In The Arm’s non-human form, he appears as a tree.

Although The Arms tree form lacks the physical capacity of its human form, its still frightening.
), its always a terrifying experience.
Each form is more horrifying than the last.

The first Woodsmen we see are mysterious shadow creatures, with incredible strength and speed.
They often seem to act as a group, attacking people like a pack of wild dogs.
The most iconic Woodsman is portrayed by Robert Broski in Part 8 ofThe Return.

In a flashback, we see a radio station in New Mexico in the 1950s.
In the darkly surreal scene, the Woodsman enters the station and crushes the skulls of the staff.
This scene is graphic and disgusting, but it somehow gets even scarier from there.

Drink full and descend.
The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within."
On hearing this chant, listeners around the state start falling unconscious.

As if this isnt bewildering enough, the Woodsmans words echo horrors yet to come.
We see an apparition of a white horse in the Palmer household each time she is drugged.
Horses appear frequently throughoutTwin Peaks, from ceramic figurines to Windom Earles (Kenneth Welsh) pantomime horse costume.

Horses may act as a part of the Lodges eyepiece, similar to the owls.
The Woodsmen’s exact motive and origin are both unknown.
Neither of these theories have been confirmed by Lynch or Frost, however.
Arguably, being shrouded in mystery only makes the Woodsmen even more frightening.
2BOB
BOB is heralded as being one of the most frightening villains in TV history.
Between Frank Silvas outstanding performance and the characters morbid backstory, its tough to argue against it.
BOB acts as the series big bad."
And Leland isnt the only person he inhabits.
He feels like intertwined somehow with Coopers evil doppelganger, too.
This could be interpreted in some ways.
It could refer to the whole of mankind.
The doppelgangers scariness is partially evolutionary.
The uncanny valley effect suggests that humans have adapted an innate fear of things that look human but arent.
This sense of misplaced trust, paired with an unshakable evolutionary fear, makes the doppelgangers truly hair-raising entities.
