Ghosts

An alleged spirit of the dead. The term "ghost" enjoys popular use, especially in connection with hauntings. Parasychologists generally use the term "appartition." Ghosts may be visible, though only a small percentage of cases involve visual images. Generally, a ghost makes its presence known through mysterious noises, smells, cold breezes and movements of objects. Virtually all cultures have believed at one

time or another in the ability of the ghosts of the dead to return to the world of the living, either in solid from ("the walking dead") or in sensory form (SEE REVENANT). When they return, they may have either benevolent or malevonent intent.
