Goblin Content Velocity: ghost

Deep in the goblin tunnels, a particularly mischievous creature has been watching the world of ghost with great interest.

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names ghost in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.
