Description

A ghost is the soul or spirit of a dead person or animal that is believed to be able to appear to the living. In ghostlore, descriptions of ghosts vary widely, from an invisible presence to translucent or barely visible wispy shapes to realistic, lifelike forms. The deliberate attempt to contact the spirit of a deceased person is known as necromancy, or in spiritism as a séance. Other terms associated with it are apparition, haunt, phantom, poltergeist, shade, specter, spirit, spook, wraith, demon, and ghoul.

भूत-प्रेत लोककथा और संस्कृति में अलौकिक प्राणी होते हैं जो किसी मृतक की आत्मा से बनते हैं। ऐसा माना जाता है कि जिस किसी की मृत्यु से पहले कोई इच्छा पूर्ण नहीं हो पाती और वो पुनर्जन्म के लिये स्वर्ग या नरक नहीं जा पाते वो भूत बन जाते हैं। इसका कारण हिंसक मृत्यु हो सकती है, या मृतक के जीवन में अनिश्चित मामलों होते हैं या उनकी अंत्येष्टि उचित संस्कार से नहीं की गई होती हैं।
