48 days till Halloween [video]

_{[The feed flickers on to show THE WILDERNESS. Specifically, the outskirts of Goldenrod. The camera is jarring slightly as Jack walks. He's already puffing slightly. It's been a while since he's stretched his legs somewhere besides pavement.]}

Today's the day! I'm getting out of that stuffy house and making my way to Lavender Town. Why...I don't think I've even been to another town since I arrived in Goldenrod years ago. This is so exciting!

Needless to say, Drama classes will be canceled and if anyone needs to send me anything, forward it to Ecruteak. Wish me luck!

It's fantastic! _{[Not that he's biased or anything.]} My guess is that they've moved on since...or they're waiting for something. Ghosts are very mysterious. I'm just a skeleton. On the inside.

So what sets skeletons and ghosts apart? Aren't you both kind of undead?

[Talking skeleton, though... That's also cool. Very, very cool.]

Well, for starters, I still have a physical body. Ghosts are free to go where they please most of the time.

True. And I guess being able to slip through walls does make them pretty unpredictable. At least, if they're anything like ghost Pokémon.

Exactly! _{[Jack taps his chin thoughtfully.]}

The progression of undead usually goes: zombie or ghoul, skeleton, and then ghost. A vampire is undead as well but they don't really decay, but they can become ghosts in some instances.

I get the difference between zombies, skeletons, and ghosts, but where do ghouls fit into all of this?

[Come to think of it, what really defined a ghoul, period?]

Aah! Well! Sometimes it depends, but the rule goes like this. A zombie is a ghoul, but a ghoul is not always a zombie. Zombies are sometimes created and controlled by another such as a necromancer or sorcerer. They both share a taste for human flesh, however.
