[neverending]

I always thought a ghoul was a LIVING person who ate people- not a reanimated corpse.

According to dictionary.com, the defining quality of a ghoul is that they rob graves, and also they mention they are often demons or evil spirits:

None of this seems to fit with zombie lore. They don't rob graves- they look for living victims, and they certainly aren't demons or spirits.

I'll have to disagree with Doc & crabby.
