A ghost is an undead monster that is found in various places and dungeons. As they are undead, Crumble Undead and the salve amulet work well on them. Ghosts are rarely used for training, because they drop nothing in most locations.

Players must kill ghosts in Melzar's Maze to progress through a level of the maze. The ghosts in Melzar's Maze can be spoken to with a Ghostspeak amulet; their speech hints that they were victims of Elvarg the dragon.

The ghosts found by the Grave of Scorpius can be spoken to without a Ghostspeak amulet; they will say "We are waiting for you to join us." then proceed to attack the player.

Some creatures that seem ghostly are not classified as ghosts and do not count towards fulfilling a Slayer assignment for ghosts. These include:

However, death wings from the Legends' Quest do count as ghosts.
