A ghoul is a monster from ancient Arabian folklore. Ghouls live in burial grounds and other uninhabited places. The English word comes from the Arabic name for the creature: الغول ghūl, which literally means "demon". The ghul is a devilish type of jinn believed to be sired by Iblis.
The female form is "ghouleh" in Muhawi and Kanaana (see ref below). The plural is "ghilan".
Ghoul is also a shapeshifting demon that lives in the desert. The demon can take the form of an animal, especially a hyena. It lures unwary travelers into the desert.
It's not something I would want to run into.
As we start October you can go and visit all the haunted places in Second Life, with plenty of ghouls and goblins and who knows what else. This year the Retreat is taking part in Second Life's most haunted places. You will find the poster at the entry. It will give you notecards to all the many places to visit. Trust me there are many on the list. I am sure there is something for everybody.
Each location will also have a little prize for your efforts, just look for the hints.

So if you like Halloween and all the spookiness that goes with it, this is your month and Second Life can fulfill your dreams on this. Oh, and no need to be frightened all these creatures are made of pixels.
Happy hunting or is it haunting?
