Lil Ghost got his name because he looks like a certain famous cartoon ghost. He speaks in a high-pitched voice, much like a young child. Oddly enough, Lil Ghost glows in the dark and floats as he walks, his feet never touching the ground. When no one’s around, he’s been known to walk through walls and doors. The truth is, Lil Ghost is the spirit of a Homie who passed away suddenly from meningitis but refuses to leave the Barrio. The Homies never realized he died—his illness came on so fast—so they still think he’s one of them, unaware he’s no longer living.
