What is the definition of a ghost?

A ghost is defined as a spirit or soul of a person who has died, which is said to haunt the living. There are many stories and accounts of ghosts throughout history and across cultures. Some believe that ghosts are trapped between this world and the next, while others believe that they are simply figments of our imagination. Whether you believe in them or not, ghosts have always been a source of fascination for humanity.

How do famous ghosts get their names?

When it comes to naming ghosts, there are a few methods that seem to be popular among the ethereal set. Many famous ghosts get their names from the manner of their death, while others are named after objects or places with which they're associated. Still others are given more mundane appellations based on their appearance or behavior.

One of the most common ways for a ghost to get its name is from the circumstances surrounding its death. For example, the White Lady of Worstead Church is so named because she was reportedly killed in a wedding dress. The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall got her name from the brown Cloak she's said to wear. And then there's Anne Boleyn, one of England's most infamous queens, who was decapitated and is said to haunt Hampton Court Palace with her head under her arm.
