User blog comment:Mmpratt99 deviantart/I had a weird dream about ghouls stealing my stuff. If there were actual ghouls like this, why would they do this?/@comment-34823985-20181106153424

1- Maybe they steal stuff that reminds them of an earlier life since they were just as human as you or I at one time.

2- I suppose they could be some sort of creature that isn't very industrious and therefore has to steal to acquire the things they need and want.

3- What if your things were strewn about like bread crumbs in the hopes that you will follow them back to the ghoul's dwelling or at least into the woods nearby so evidence of what happened to you wouldn't be so easy to find?

4- Maybe it's just taking back what once belonged to it and after it tucks its things away somewhere safe it will come back to deal with the thief, namely you.
