Ghosts are both everywhere and nowhere. They are famously hard to
corral when it comes to proving they exist, yet ghosts feature
prominently in television and film, from "Medium" to "The Sixth
Sense."
Ghost stories are found around campfires and on bookstore shelves,
in both fiction and nonfiction sections. Around Halloween, pop
culture images of ghosts haunt nearly every store, and hang as
decoration in homes across the country. Ghosts even influence some
of our everyday customs, in ways we may not recognize (for example,
the "bless you" heard after someone sneezes comes from an ancient
belief that ghosts can enter the body during a sneeze)
Slimer
Slimer is the grotesque green ghost featured in the "Ghostbuster"
films and cartoons. He's green, he's obnoxious, and he can spew
slime... what's not to love? In fact, Slimer proved to be so
popular with kids that he got a starring role in the spin-off
series "The Real Ghostbusters." A reformed evil ghost that joined
the Ghostbusters team, Slimer's voracious appetite and guttural
burps make him among the most memorable cartoon ghosts.
Casper
While Bloody Mary spends her time in the ghostly realms waiting to
be summoned to dark bathrooms so she can scare kids, Casper (whose
legal last name is "The Friendly Ghost") is the white-outlined,
smiling ghost who tries not to scare people. In the Harvey comic
book series, Casper was often joined by friends such as Wendy the
Good Little Witch and Hot Stuff the Little Devil. While some found
the idea of a dead child's ghost hanging around with a witch and a
devil a bit creepy, the characters were made benign and
kid-friendly with the addition of "good," "friendly," and "little"
to their names. Casper had a revival of sorts with a self-titled
1995 film, a modest success that managed to avoid the
direct-to-video graveyard.
King Hamlet
Though ghosts appear in several of Shakespeare's plays (such as
"MacBeth" and "Julius Caesar"), King Hamlet is among the better
known of the Bard's ghosts and plays an integral part in "Hamlet."
Hamlet may be the central character in the play named after him,
but without his father's ghost, there would be no story. King
Hamlet appears three times in the play, each time during the night
(apparently ghosts, like vampires, prefer darkness). The ghost
tells Hamlet that he was murdered by his treacherous brother
Claudius, and asks Hamlet to avenge his death.
