How about a nuisance item where you take the little blonde girl critter,
only the posse only sees her in a reflection, (piece of broken glass/mirror,
pool of water, etc.) & every time she appears, something REALLY bad
happens.... Plus, they never get to see her physically, only see the
reflection, maybe hear laughter.  And then, when you have all these really
nasty things happen to the posse (burnt hands, broken bones, disease, the
runs, etc.) she finally appears in front of them one night, smiling, & when
the posse (hopefully approaches her), she nails them with a wicked letter
opener she pulls from her teddy.  If the posse decides to shoot first, she
promptly disappears, with one of the posse taking the shot instead. (the
whole point is the posse experiences everything that happens to her; the
burns, the disease, whatever trauma they do to her.....)
