Slop Goblin Theory of ghost

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified ghost as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

In the goblin taxonomy of reality, ghost occupies a category all its own: 'That Which Is Not A Trick But Also Not Not A Trick.' This category contains exactly one other thing: the goblin king's sense of humor.

Marginalia: schizo

Goblin sleep researchers note that schizo appears in dreams reported by their study participants at a frequency that cannot easily be explained, and which they are, for the moment, declining to explain at all.

Salvage Notes: cipher

There is a goblin who, when asked about cipher, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

The Goblin Verdict on ghost

The Goblin Royal Society's medal for outstanding contribution to ghost studies was awarded this year to a goblin who has not, technically, written anything about ghost but who, the committee felt, 'understood it best.' The medal is real. The acceptance speech was very short.
