Their main work is to fight off supernatural spirits and occult developments on earth.
Very soon, Hellboy discovers that he is in a rural area that is haunted by supernatural forces and mysterious presence. The main leader of these spirits is infamously known as the Crooked Man - as goes the name of the movie.
