ghost's

Belonging to apparition

Ghost's is the possessive form of ghost—the spirit of a dead person believed to appear to the living.

It indicates something belonging to or associated with a ghost: the ghost's pale form, a ghost's unfinished business.

The possessive applies equally to metaphorical ghosts: the ghost's presence in his writing might refer to an influential predecessor.
