Favorite monster? I'm just going to go with the first one that popped up in my head The Creature of the Black Lagoon. I've never seen it but always thought the monster looked cool. I am a big fan of Skriker, aka Padfoot, it's a black dog that is said to be a harbinger of death. 

Favorite ghost? Hmm...I'm just going to go with what I call the Grey Lady at my work. When they built a new building, the one I previously worked in a couple years ago, people started seeing weird stuff. I swear I've seen her multiple times. And I liked our old house ghosts. They disappeared after the house fire. 

Favorite ghoul? I had to Google this one. I'm not familiar with Arabian folklore so I can't say I know of any.
