GHOSTS
[ Also see Apparitions Curses Spirit Spirits Witches ]

They gather round, and wonder at the tale
  Of horrid apparition, tall and ghostly,
    That walks at dead of night, or takes his stand
      O'er some new-open'd grave, and (strange to tell),
        Evanishes at crowing of the cock.
      - Hugh Blair

Some have mistaken blocks and posts,
  For spectres, apparitions, ghosts,
    With saucer-eyes and horns; and some
      Have heard the devil beat a drum.
      - Samuel Butler (1)

Many ghosts, and forms of fright,
  Have started from their graves to-night;
    They have driven sleep from mine eyes away.
      - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

For spirits, freed from mortal laws, with ease
  Assume what sexes and what shapes they please.
      - Alexander Pope

Avaunt! and quit my sight! Let the earth hide thee!
  Thy bones are marrowless, thy blood, is cold;
    Thou hast no speculation in those eyes,
      Which thou dost glare with!
      - William Shakespeare

But, soft: behold! lo, where it comes again!
  I'll cross it, though it blast me.--Stay, illusion!
    If thou hast any sound, or use a voice,
      Speak to me.
      - William Shakespeare

I am thy father's spirit;
  Doom'd for a certain term to walk the night
    And, for the day, confin'd to fast in fires,
      Till the foul crimes, done in my days of nature,
        Are burnt and purg'd away.
      - William Shakespeare

I can call up spirits from the vasty deep.--
  --Why so can I, or so can any man;
    But will they come, when you do call for them?
      - William Shakespeare

It was about to speak, when the cock crew,
  And then it started like a guilty thing
    Upon a fearful summons.
      - William Shakespeare

O, answer me:
  Let me not burst in ignorance! but tell,
    Why thy canoniz'd bones, hearsed in death,
      Have burst their cerements! why the sepulchre
        Wherein we saw thee quietly in-urn'd,
          Hath op'd his ponderous and marble laws,
            To cast thee up again?
      - William Shakespeare
