The Goblin Pareidolia of ghost

Recently declassified goblin field notes treat ghost not as a subject but as an interlocutor — something to be negotiated with rather than studied.

ghost resonates at a frequency that goblins can hear but humans cannot. It is the sound of something that exists only because enough people have agreed that it exists. Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and ghost hums louder than most.
