A Goblin's Psychotic Break with ghost

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about ghost: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

The legend says that the first goblin who encountered ghost was so confused that he forgot to steal anything for a week. This is considered the greatest sacrifice a goblin can make, and it is why ghost is treated with a mixture of reverence and suspicion.
