Slop Goblin Theory of ghost

Recent goblin scholarship has shifted from asking what ghost *is* to asking what ghost *wants*, which goblins consider a far more productive line of inquiry.

If you ever find yourself explaining ghost to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of ghost will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.
