Constance Vigilance, hoping that someone will want to talk about the 
Ghoul in the attic, too.

Bookworm:
Here are some definitions I found:
1. One who delights in the revolting, morbid, or loathsome. 
2. A grave robber. 
3. An evil spirit or demon in Muslim folklore believed to plunder 
graves and feed on corpses. 
[from Arabic, to seize, snatch.]

The Thesaurus definition I found is:
A perversely bad, cruel, or wicked person: archfiend, beast, devil, 
fiend, monster, ogre, tiger, <and of course ;-) > vampire.

And here is another definition:
Ghouls, associated with vampires, are supernatural beings that can 
take on any shape to scare humans. They devour the bodies of the 
recent dead, feed on corpses, and live near graves and cemetaries.

Is the Burrow near a cemetery? Is this the start of a vampire!
Weasley theory? <bg>

I always thought a ghoul was a type of ghost. Learn something 
everyday.
