peculiar spirit

"The composition of the human species is infinitely more diverse than most humans suspect," she began... "there are the coerlfolc, the teeming mass of common people who make up humanity's great bulk, and there is the hidden branch- the crypto-sapiens, if you will- who are called syndrigast, or "peculiar spirit" in the venerable language of my ancestors. As you have no doubt surmised, we here are of the latter type."

To quote Miss Peregrine on p. 149: Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
