The term 'Halloween Spirit' can be summarized by the five-letter word 'GHOUL'. A GHOUL is a creature from folklore that is said to haunt graveyards and other places associated with death. It is often depicted as a grotesquely-shaped figure with a taste for human flesh. In modern culture, the term 'GHOUL' has come to refer to any supernatural being associated with Halloween, such as ghosts, witches, and monsters.
