Unidentified male ghost

Biography
This individual probably attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in his youth and was probably sorted into Gryffindor house. It is unknown during which years he was a student there (if any) and at which subjects he excelled. During his lifetime he had a great fear of death, which allowed him to eventually become a ghost.

Post-Mortem
After his death, he became a ghost, something only wizards or witches who are afraid of death can do and returned to Hogwarts to inhabit the castle. During the Welcoming Feast at the beginning of the 1991-1992 school year, he appeared to the school's students, following the Grey Lady through the wall nearest the Slytherin table in the Great Hall. He was wearing clothes typical of the Elizabethan period of English history - a hat with a feather, a ruff and breeches. During the 1993-1994 school year, the ghost was in Gryffindor tower following the welcoming feast, descending the staircase from the dormitories. He appeared to be wearing nightclothes and looked sleepy, but was definitely the same ghost that appeared at the feast in 1991. As Dean Thomas and Harry Potter entered the common room, joking about the Fat Lady, Dean walked straight through the ghost, at which he exclaimed, "Ah"!, and the ghost rubbed his torso sleepily.

Behind the Scenes

 * The ghost appears only in the films, and is not mentioned in the books (at least not individually).
 * This ghost is possibly Edgar Clogg, but this is unlikely, as his appearance differs from that of Edgar's in the video game of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game).
