Painting of Ghosts by Richard Doyle |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| A ghost is the soul or spectre of a dead person, usually believed to be capable of returning to the world of the living in some form. It may appear as a living being or simply as a fog-like mass. Belief in ghosts is based on the notion that the spirit wanders away from the body during periods of unconsciousness such as sleep. | ||||||
