ghost realm
Where specters dwell
Ghost realm is the supernatural domain where spirits of the dead are believed to exist—a parallel world or dimension separate from the living.
The term appears in fantasy fiction, video games, and spiritual traditions describing places souls travel after death or where ghosts dwell: The portal opened into the ghost realm.
Sometimes used figuratively for states of disconnection or invisibility: After the scandal, he retreated into a kind of ghost realm.
