Ghost Children

The Ghost Children are characters who debuted in the Laika film Coraline. They are the undead remnants of small kids who were duped into coming into the Other World dimension that the Beldam created. After their trip to her realm, the Ghost Children were never the same, as she devoured their lives and locked them up. One of them even explains what happened when he and Coraline Jones bump into each other during her unlawful imprisonment at the Beldam's hands. Coraline understands their plight and decides to stand up for them, redeeming herself to be better after her meeting with them. She finds their real eyes, and they eventually pass into the afterlife, freed from the Beldam's control. Coraline, upon her return to her own reality, often dreams of what the Ghost Children are now doing in the afterlife.
