The Delusional Goblin's ghost
A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about ghost and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'
The Goblin King himself has weighed in on ghost, though his statements are characteristically cryptic. 'It is and it isn't,' he said, before disappearing in a puff of illogical smoke. This is considered the definitive goblin analysis of ghost.
The whisper-Adjacent Goblin File
After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on whisper: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.
The invocation Manifestation
invocation appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing invocation in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.
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.
