Friendly ghosts are supernatural beings often depicted in folklore and popular culture as spirits of deceased individuals who maintain a benevolent presence. Unlike traditional portrayals of ghosts as frightening or malevolent, friendly ghosts are typically characterized by their helpfulness and desire to assist the living. They may offer guidance, protection, or comfort to those they encounter. These spirits are commonly featured in various media, including movies, books, and television shows. A well-known example is the character Casper the Friendly Ghost, who embodies the idea of a kind-hearted ghost seeking friendship with the living. Friendly ghosts often symbolize themes of love, remembrance, and the enduring connection between the living and the deceased.
