LOL! Considering that the "Beach Movie" series ended with Boris Karloff this could actually be true.

Hmmm, that would be "The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini," 1966.  Unfortunately, the spectral anatomy covered by said bikini was also invisible.  😩

Well, a little late, but bring on the ghouls of summer, then.

... remember, with a TARDIS, one is never late for breakfast!

To treat Manu's query more seriously, that reminds me of the scene from "Pirates of the Caribbean" where the zombie buccaneers walked across the sea bottom to attack a target because they didn't have to breathe and couldn't float.  Now that was creepy!  Something like that in a game would freak me out.

Killjoy.

...but you are very correct. As much as I deride the house of the mouse they got that one perfect. On a creep scale, I would have to say “it goes to eleven!”.

Normal Ghouls are in the RQG Bestiary page 98, there are Sea Ghouls in Men of the Sea that accompany ghost ships.

Men of the Sea—MRQ?

My version of Indlas Somer has the older surfboys becoming Zombies as they surfed, so rather than dying and staying dead they just transition into zombies, with tanned skin pulled slightly too tight on their faces and fixed grins.

A pretty good supplement, that can be used as background for a RQG game very easily.

A long time ago, we encountered ghouls coming from the sea; But I can find in which book they are described.

Couldn't that have been a D&D adventure, modified for RuneQuest? D&D does have sea ghouls (called lacedons).

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but there's a picture of spectral  Fonritan sailors coming from the sea in Barran the Monster Killer -scenario (Strangers in Prax, p.49). I remembered them to be ghouls first, but they seem to be ghosts according to stats...
