What does this word mean. I can't find it anywhere, and it is in the title of a book about witches and goblins and scary stories.

This is what the RAE has to say about "nagual"
m. Bruto - brutish, oafish
m. En la mitología popular, animal simbólico que representa el espíritu de una persona o de un lugar. - in popular mythology, an animal that symbolizes the spirit of a person or a place.
m. Animal que alguien tiene de compañero inseparable - An inseparable animal companion.
In another dictionary (pequeño larousse ilustrado) I found this
F. Méx. Mentira - a lie
Without a bit more context, it would probably be difficult to determine which of these it might be.
