Ghosts are spirits of the dead (or Christmas, sometimes).
Ghouls are cadaverous sub-humanoids who eat the flesh of the dead. Sometimes they're portrayed as sapient, sometimes animalistic, but rarely as slow, shambling, and mindless like Romero's zombies (which are otherwise more like ghouls than traditional voodoo zombies).
