The song Ragtime Goblin Man describes a person with a “hook in his hand… softly humming a ragtime tune”. He follows his victim, sometimes killing them and eating their flesh. The Ragtime Goblin Man has glaring eyes and hot breath. He once had a mild personality, but the reason for his change in personality is not explained in the song. The Ragtime Goblin Man is very strong, and will beat his victims, sometimes utilizing his hook in the attack. His gaze is terrifying. He creates a state of fear in his victims. He also gives rides in his “ragtime van.”
