Why “beghost” is a great word
BEGHOST — [Verb] To endow with a spirit or ghost; to haunt. From the English prefix be- (thoroughly, about, over) + ghost (spirit, apparition). Unlike "haunt," which implies a place being passively frequented by a specter, or "animate," which suggests imparting vital life or motion, to beghost is to actively furnish an object or person with a specifically spectral essence. It is the act of willing a shadow into the empty chair, of investing the heirloom locket with a watchful presence, or of looking into a mirror and deliberately planting the seed of a stranger's face behind your own—a quiet colonization of the tangible by the intangible, where memory becomes a permanent tenant.
