[9] : THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993)

ghost, n.  the outward and visible sign of an inward fear.

            he saw a ghost.
    it occupied -- that dismal thing --
    the path that he was following.
    before he'd time to stop and fly,
    an earthquake trifled with the eye
            that saw a ghost.
    he fell as fall the early good;
    unmoved that awful vision stood.
    the stars that danced before his ken
    he wildly brushed away, and then
            he saw a post.
                                                      jared macphester

    accounting for the uncommon behavior of ghosts, heine mentions
somebody's ingenious theory to the effect that they are as much
afraid of us as we of them.  not quite, if i may judge from such
tables of comparative speed as i am able to compile from memories of
my own experience.
    there is one insuperable obstacle to a belief in ghosts.  a ghost
never comes naked:  he appears either in a winding-sheet or "in his
habit as he lived."  to believe in him, then, is to believe that not
only have the dead the power to make themselves visible after there is
nothing left of them, but that the same power inheres in textile
fabrics.  supposing the products of the loom to have this ability,
what object would they have in exercising it?  and why does not the
apparition of a suit of clothes sometimes walk abroad without a ghost
in it?  these be riddles of significance.  they reach away down and
get a convulsive grip on the very tap-root of this flourishing faith.
