Gjenganger / skrømt

In Scandinavian folklore, the terms 'gjenganger' and 'skrømt' are often both used to name the gjenganger-phenomenon, while 'skrømt' is also used as a name for supernatural happenings in general. On this page 'skrømt' redirects to 'ghost', which I think is wrong as the ghost-article mostly refers to modern day perception of ghosts, which differs from the "scandinavian folklore perception" of them (see the gjenganger article). Should the 'gjenganger' and 'skrømt' articles be merged, or remain as they are?
