What does the phrase "ghost story" refer to in literature?

  1. A story about the afterlife

  2. A story about a haunted house

  3. A story featuring a ghost as a character

  4. A metaphor for the passage of time

The correct answer is: A story featuring a ghost as a character

A ghost story in literature refers to a story that features a ghost as a character. This could include stories about hauntings, supernatural beings, or spirits of the dead. Options A and B are incorrect because while they may involve ghosts, they do not necessarily focus on them as characters. Option D is incorrect because while some ghost stories may use ghostly imagery as a metaphor for the passage of time, this is not always the case and is not the defining factor of a ghost story.
