A '''Ghost''' is an undead monster that is found in various places and dungeons. As they are undead, the spell [[crumble undead]] and the [[salve amulet]] work well on them. Most ghosts are rarely used for training, because they drop nothing. Level 79 ghosts, which can be called forth in the [[Forgotten Cemetery]] after the [[Spirit of Summer]] quest, do have good drops, but they are in the [[Wilderness]]. To call forth the level 79 ghosts, the player must use [[Jennica's ring]] to enter the spirit realm at the graveyard, close the coffins there, then leave the spirit realm and repeat after all four are killed. Several ghost chatheads that were broken were fixed on [[17 November]] 2009. Players must kill certain ghosts in [[Melzar's Maze]] to progress through a level of the maze. The ghosts in Melzar's Maze can be spoken to with an [[Amulet of Ghostspeak]] (which you get from [[The Restless Ghost]] and is untradeble) or [[Cramulet]]; their speech hints that they were victims of [[Elvarg]] the dragon. In Daemonheim they have the power to heal themselves from injuries.

Other ghostly creatures are classified as ghosts and thus count towards fulfilling a [[Slayer]] assignment for ghosts. These include:
*[[Tortured soul]]s, which drop items.
*[[Ghostly warrior]]s, which drop items.
*[[Tormented wraith]]s, which drop items.
*[[Revenants]]

Some creatures that seem ghostly are '''not''' classified as ghosts and do '''not''' count towards fulfilling a [[Slayer]] assignment for ghosts. These include:
*[[Aberrant spectre]]s (called a 'very smelly ghost' in its examine text).
*[[Ankou]]s (called a 'boney ghost' in its examine text).
*All types of [[Banshee]]s.
*All types of [[Ghast]]s.
*All types of [[Shade]]s.
*[[Kolodion]], (while battling him for your god in his 4th form) Master of Battle Magic and head of the [[Mage Arena]].

Also note that the inhabitants of [[Port Phasmatys]], the [[Ectofuntus]], and nearby areas are ghosts but cannot be attacked.
