Ghoul actually derives its folkloric beginning from the Arabic "ghul", which if I remember correctly is just an Arabic word for a demon. I thought that their habits were more along the lines of tricking and killing people, only to drag their bodies away in the night to let there corpses bloat and fester in order to eat on their rotten remains. It seems a bit more sinister than simply luring people away to eat them outright. Folklore has a funny way of changing though.
