The Hammersmith Ghost was a figure that appeared in early 1800s London, initially believed by locals to be a supernatural apparition but later revealed to be an old cobbler wearing a white sheet as a prank against his apprentice. The case became notable enough to be featured in Roger Kirby's 1804 magazine and demonstrates how rumors about ghosts can spread in a community before a rational explanation emerges.

鬼,又稱鬼魂,某些文化习俗或宗教信仰的人認為鬼是生物死亡後遺留下的靈魂。以現今的科學社會上 ,人類還是未能確認它的存在,但是至今仍然不少流傳鬼怪的故事。在其他語言的翻譯上,中文的「鬼」最常被翻譯成英語的「Ghost」,日本則稱之為「幽靈」,韓國和日本一樣,稱之為「유령」,马来语、印尼語则称之为「Hantu」。另外邪靈、魔鬼、妖怪、吸血鬼,以及不死生物等其他在恐怖片出現的怪物,和一些宗教神话、民间传说和都市传说的传说生物,也常被稱為「鬼」。
