                        Old King Hamlet
 The ghost of Hamlet's late father is a character from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet. In the stage directions he is referred to as "Ghost." His name is also Hamlet, and he is referred to as King Hamlet to distinguish him from the Prince.


The Ghost of Christmas Past

The Ghost of Christmas Past or The Spirit of Christmas Past is a fictional character in the work A Christmas Carol by the English novelist Charles Dickens.


Sir Simon de Canterville
Sir Simon de Canterville was created by Oscar Wilde and appeared in Wilde's short story, The Canterville Ghost. It was doomed to haunt his ancestral home, Canterville Chase, until he could find someone to weep for him (as he lacked tears of his own), to pray for him (as he lacked faith of his own), and accompany him to the Angel of Death to beg for mercy on him. 
                       
         The Dead Men of Dunharrow
The Dead Men of Dunharrow (also referred as the Shadow Host, the Grey Host, the oath breakers, or simply the Dead) are fictional characters in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. They appear in The Lord of the Rings as the ghosts of Men of the White Mountains (Ered Nimrais), who were cursed to remain in Middle-earth by Isildur after they abandoned their oath to aid him in the War of the Last Alliance.



                           Slimer
Slimer is a character from the Ghostbusters franchise. He appears in the films Ghostbusters (1984), Ghostbusters II (1989) and Ghostbusters: Answer the Call (2016), in the animated television series: The Real Ghostbusters, Slimer! And Extreme Ghostbusters, and in the video games Ghostbusters: The Video Game and Beeline's Ghostbusters. Slimer was voiced by Ivan Reitman and Adam Ray in the films and by Frank Welker in the cartoon series. In The Real Ghostbusters, he is the Ghostbusters' mascot & friend (unlike the films, where he is just a ghost who needs to be busted).



                    The Headless Horseman
The Headless Horseman has been a motif of European folklore since at least the Middle Ages. The Headless Horseman is traditionally depicted as a man upon horseback who is missing his head. Depending on the legend, the Horseman is either carrying his head, or is missing his head altogether, and is searching for it. Perhaps the most famous myth arises from the short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," written in 1820 by Washington Irving.


The Flying Dutchman (ship)
The Flying Dutchman is a legendary ghost ship that can never make port and is doomed to sail the oceans forever. The myth is likely to have originated from the 17th-century golden age of the Dutch East India Company. The oldest extant version has been dated to the late 18th century. Sightings in the 19th and 20th centuries reported the ship to be glowing with ghostly light.
