The presence of '''Misterious Mist''' is a sign that there is something magical or supernatural about a certain place at that time. The mist itself is neutral, the type of magical or supernatural event swinging it one way or the other. It comes in a couple of forms.
 
Most common, is appearing with some form of magical or supernatural event. This is frequently the opening of a portal or gateway between our world and another, with or without the appearance of a being of that world. In this case, the mist is most often merely a by-product of the magic used.

** In ''[[The Iliad]]'', Aeneas (who later escapes from Troy and founds Rome in ''[[The Aeneid]]'') gets rescued in the form of a mist by Aphrodite and Apollo.
** Paris gets rescued this way by Aphrodite when he is losing a duel with Menelaus.
* [[Irish Mythology]] knows of the ''[[wikipedia:F%C3%A9thFéth f%C3%ADadafíada|féth fíada]]'', the fairy mist (also known as ''ceo druidechta'', druid mist). Supposedly, the ''féth fíada'' was used by the Tuatha Dé Danann to conceal themselves from observers; they also could travel in this mist -- evenmist—even over the sea. In stories set in later times, druids and even Christian saints are reported to make themselves invisible with magic mist.
