Ghouls are mythical creatures often found in folklore and horror literature. They are typically depicted as undead beings that feed on human flesh, particularly the remains of the dead. Ghouls are commonly associated with graveyards and are said to inhabit places where corpses are buried, making them a popular subject in stories about the supernatural. In various cultures, ghouls are portrayed differently. In Arabian mythology, for example, they are considered malevolent spirits that can shape-shift and lure travelers into desolate areas. In modern media, ghouls have appeared in movies, video games, and books, often as antagonists or monsters that heroes must confront.
