Gruesome fiend (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ghoul

'gruesome fiend' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ghoul that I've seen before include "Corpse-loving phantom" , "Spirit that robs graves and devours corpses" , "malevolent spirit" , "Evil presence" , "Morbid voyeur" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
