The old manuscript claimed an errand-ghost had been sent to guide lost travelers through the mountain pass.

古い写本には、迷った旅人を峠越えで導くために使いの霊が遣わされたと記されていた。

意味（1）

(rare, historical) A spirit or spiritual messenger; an angel.

Their simple directness of character may account for the well-nigh entire absence (as I said before) of all expression of religious hope. God's Errand-Ghost, the Rider on the Pale Horse, has passed by that way, and one in the house — it may be the most loved of all, — is dead. There is no shirking of that bare truth, no attempt to soften it.

意味（2）

(rare) Any spirit or ghostly messenger.

In regard of the previous question – do you also choose empty localizations deliberately? Is this to strengthen the fright for loneliness and silence, the same fright that the errand ghost of those haunted places feels?
