6. Ghost. The Ghost leaps one or two spaces orthogonally or diagonally, without capturing. To capture, it slides through an enemy piece in an adjacent square to the empty square on the other side.

To be honest, I'm actually pretty sure I've seen a piece somewhere that moves the exact same thing (though described differently), but I cannot at this time recall where. I still like this take on it, though, just for the mental image.

I'm also wondering if it would be an improvement to extend its move (though probably not its capture) by one square.
