Question

Using context clues, what does the word haint mean in the following quote?

Answer 1

Answer:

My educated guess is that it is a ghost.

Explanation:

Reason being "scary place" implies that it has an eerie atomosphere like that of ghosts. The name "Boo" is a rare name and doesn't give the impression that it would be the name of a neighbor, old person, or a prisoner.
