EVILS: What is a Ghoul? GHOUL - Ghoul comes from the Arabic words ghul (meaning male) and gula ( meaning female). In Islamic legend, a ghoul is a demon who feeds on flesh of humans, specifically corpses stolen from graves, travelers and children. Ghouls are thought to travel at night around graveyards, deserts and deserted areas. Sometimes its said to be dead humans who rest in secret graves and then awaken to feast on human flesh, living or dead. In Islamic tradition, there are many types of ghoul, both male and female. But perhaps the most horrific is the female. Females have the power to transform into a real woman that can entrap and feast on an unsuspecting admirer! ~ EVILSAngel
