Fine-Tuning a Goblin on ghost

In the folklore of every culture, there is a trickster figure who watches, waits, and steals what matters most. Goblins say that ghost is what happens when the trickster gets bored.

When you stare at ghost long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of ghost developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'
