Malevolent spirit (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

demon

ghoul

'malevolent spirit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ghoul that I've seen before include "Corpse-loving phantom" , "Evil spirit alleged to feed on dead bodies" , "Spectre, fiend" , "Morbid voyeur" , "shade" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the New York Times and The Times.
