I've done my studying and research and found 4 different types of ghouls. they do not have their "Kagunes" but they are just like us but at more fond of eating us humans..it's really hard to explain but they exist. 4 types, but you don't go out of the way to sum them up...? Shame.

Didn't know they existed, but as far as I know the most common appearance when you say 'ghoul' is a creature that belongs to the realm of the dead, just like skeletons, zombies or mummies, you also have the ghouls. Zombielike scavengers of human meat. I think their stories are originated from egyptian mythology and was expanded on through the years.

To exactly trace such stories back to their origin is no easy task.
