What do you call someone who believes in ghosts and ghost stories?

Best Answer

There is a word eidolism which means a belief in ghosts; see this Google search.

Though it doesn't appear in most dictionaries, and may be one of those words that largely exists only as a definition on esoteric word lists, it does appear in some odd books.

But I couldn’t find any actual usage of the corresponding word you’d expect to refer to a believer in ghosts: eidolist.
