Ghost (folklore)

"If we don't live through this, I hope my ghost haunts yours for eternity."
"We don't believe in ghosts."

―Axel Greylark and Gella Nattai

Ghosts were apparitions associated with the dead and the underworld. In 4 BBY, Ezra Bridger experienced a flashback of his parents Ephraim and Mira Bridger. He mistook them for ghosts.
