errand-ghost
Where it comes from
Revived from Old English ǣrendgāst (“spiritual messenger, angel”). By surface analysis, errand + ghost.
noun errand-ghosts · errand ghost
- A spirit or spiritual messenger; an angel. Their simple directness of character may account for the well-nigh entire absence (as I said before) of all expression of religious hope. "God's Errand-Ghost," the Rider on the Pale Horse, has passed by that way, and one in the house — it may be the most loved of all, — is dead. There is no shirking
- Any spirit or ghostly messenger. In regard of the previous question – do you also choose empty localizations deliberately? Is this to strengthen the fright for loneliness and silence, the same fright that the errand ghost of those haunted places feels?
