Answer

GHOUL

A ghoul is a demonic or monstrous creature from Arabian folklore that dwells in burial grounds and consumes human flesh. The word entered English from the Arabic word 'ghul' and has become a staple of horror fiction and Halloween imagery. Today it can also informally describe someone with morbid interests.

Strategy Tip

Words with GH at the start can be tricky because G and H are not the most common starting combination. If you suspect a spooky or unusual word, try starters that include less common consonant pairings to rule them in or out early.
