POLTERGEIST is simply German for noisy ghost, the kind that knocks and moves furniture rather than drifting through a wall. English has a word for almost every other sort too: a SPECTER is seen, a PHANTOM is fleeting, an APPARITION appears once. This ghost word find rounds up eleven of them, from the rattling CHAINS of a Victorian story to the bedsheet costume in the ATTIC; the halloween grid covers the rest of the cast.
Frequently asked questions
Why do cartoon ghosts wear a SHEET?
Stage ghosts in the 1800s were played by actors in white shrouds, the burial cloth of the time. The look stuck, and by the 20th century a sheet with two eye holes was the costume every child could make.
What is a SEANCE?
A meeting where people try to contact a SPIRIT, popular from the 1850s onward. The word is French for a sitting, and most famous cases were later exposed as tricks.
