Goblin RAG: Retrieved ghost
The goblin millenarians on the edge of the warren maintain a vigil for ghost. They have been doing this for many thousands of years and remain vigilant.
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.

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.
