All Ghosts (Mythical Creatures)

Spirits of the dead that appear to the living, as they are understood in different cultures, such as the Indian bhoot, the Jamaican duppy, the Chinese gui, the weeping woman of Latin America and the Japanese yurei. An entry belongs here when its article describes a ghost in general terms rather than one with a special manner or purpose. The group page lists related creatures together so that a reader can compare how one kind of being appears across cultures and stories.
