  The first time I ran up against a ghost, I was very lucky.  I had a
sword, had eaten a Leppy and was about 3rd level.  I just kept 'hacking'
away at the ghost.  I think I had a regen ring, or something, because
eventhough we were hitting eachother fairly frequently and he hit for
2 or 3 pooints each time, my hit points went down very slowly.  Then,
just as I was going below 15 hps, I teleported and by the time I found
my way back, I was back up near full points, and started hacking
again.  I teleported twice before I finally killed it, though.

The next time I found a ghost, I was only second level, and there were
two ghosts there, by the same name.  I confused me a little, and by the
time I got it straightend out, they had killed me.  Oh well.
