Beschrijving
The Pretended Ghost (previously Joker Posing as Ghost Punished by Victim). (Including the previous Type 1676A.)
A man (girl) spends the night (keeps watch) in a graveyard (haunted place). A trickster (several men) decides to frighten him by pretending to be a ghost (dead man). The watcher beats (injures) the false ghost (drives him away) [N384.10, N384.11]. Cf. Types 1532, 1711*.
In some variants, the victim does not defend himself. An unknown creature (the devil, in African American variants, e.g. a monkey in disguise) frightens (injures, drives away) the false ghost [K1682.1]. (Previously Type 1676A.)
