From 'ghost' + '-hood' suffix (meaning state or condition, as in 'childhood,' 'neighborhood'). A literary or archaic term for the existence of ghosts.
'Hood' is one of English's most powerful suffix tools—it transforms almost any noun into an abstract concept (child→childhood, king→kinghood, ghost→ghosthood), letting us talk about entire categories of experience.
