The Revenant is in fact quite different to the traditional ghost for it may wait years or even centuries to appear. In actuality, a revenant is any type of undead, and that loose definition can include ghosts and vampires as well as mythical creatures we currently think of as zombies, ghouls and animated skeletons.
The legend of revenants are widespread over many countries throughout history, but occur most notably in the areas of Albania, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Hungry, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Silesia, Transylvania, and the Ukraine. Revenants can take many forms, from filmy beings to solid forms that appear living. If they appear in human form they typically appear fully dressed in the garments they wore when alive.
