Ghostland

/ˈɡoʊstˌlænd/ noun

Definition

An imaginary or mythical place populated by ghosts; the realm or dimension where ghosts are thought to exist.

Etymology

From 'ghost' + 'land' (Old English land, solid earth). A compound noun creating a fictional place, similar to 'fairyland' or 'wonderland.'

Kelly Says

English loves creating imaginary places by combining 'land' with adjectives—we have Disneyland, fairyland, and ghostland—but only some (like Disneyland) become real, while others stay pure imagination.
