Definition
One who haunts; a ghost, spirit, or a person who frequents a particular place repeatedly.
Etymology
Agent noun from 'haunt,' formed with the '-er' suffix. 'Haunt' comes from Old French 'hanter,' possibly from Old Norse, meaning to frequent or visit repeatedly.
Kelly Says
A 'haunter' could be a ghost or just a regular person who keeps showing up—the word captures how the same place can become familiar through repeated visits, almost like the space becomes part of you.
