Ghostlings — The Smallest Spirits of the House

Small, quiet, and often overlooked, Ghostlings are the most delicate spirits within the House of Ghosts.

They rarely announce themselves. Instead, they drift softly through the rooms, appearing in fleeting moments — a shimmer in the corner of your eye, a presence felt rather than seen.

Though small in stature, they are often the first spirits to gather, drawn to the gentle energy that lingers in the House.


What They Are

Ghostlings are the youngest and lightest of all spirits.

They are not bound by strong memories or heavy emotion, which allows them to move freely between spaces. Unlike larger spirits, they do not linger long in one place, instead drifting wherever the atmosphere feels calm and welcoming.

Behaviour

Ghostlings tend to travel in quiet patterns, often following light, warmth, or stillness. They are most active when the House is at rest, gently shifting between rooms without disturbing the balance.

Personality

Curious but calm, Ghostlings carry a soft, almost playful energy. They are neither mischievous nor solemn — simply present, observing the world around them in silence.

Role in the House

They are often considered the “first arrivals” — spirits that gather before others, subtly shaping the atmosphere of a room. Where Ghostlings are found, other spirits are rarely far behind.

They are often seen drifting through:

→ Moonlit Hall
→ Frosted Conservatory

These rooms provide the calm, gentle environments that Ghostlings are naturally drawn to.
