Hello!
Today we bring you a very important word in the Halloween vocabulary. In fact, according to a recent survey, it's the number-one most popular leisure-time activity among ghosts!
HAUNT (幽霊が)出没する
- If a ghost, spirit, etc. haunts a place or person, it regularly visits that place or appears to that person.
- haunt とは、幽霊や精霊がある場所を定期的に出没する、または、ある人の前に姿を現す、という意味です。
- a: Why does Mrs. Crag keep this door locked all the time?
b: She thinks that the ghost of her dead uncle haunts the room inside. - a: Let's go for a walk in the woods. It's a warm night, and the moon is out.
b: No, I'd be too scared. They say those woods are haunted. - For years after the accident, he was haunted by the memory of that day.
- (with their kids at an amusement park)
FATHER: Why don't we take the kids to the haunted house? It'll be fun.
MOTHER: No, they'll have nightmares.
