From the official guides

A ghost that flies over the graveyard. You can't see all of them unless you have a cross.

Zelda II The Adventure of Link Instruction Booklet (Nintendo of America, 1988), p. 29

A ghost that flies around the graveyard. Some can't be seen unless you have the Cross.

リンクの冒険 取扱説明書 (任天堂, 1987), p. 30, 101Leafy's translation

A curious ghost that comes to take a look when people are near. It flies through the air swinging its hard body, and its body slam does a lot of damage. Some of them are invisible, so watch out.

ファミリーコンピュータMagazine 特別編集 リンクの冒険 (徳間書店, 1987), p. 10, 101Leafy's translation

Appears when you enter the graveyard. Its only attack is ramming you, and it is not very fast, so dodge it. The eye is its weak point. The "downward thrust" works well.

リンクの冒険 (秋田書店, 1987), p. 9, 101Leafy's translation

A ghost that appears in graveyards. Some of them cannot be seen unless you have the Cross.

リンクの冒険 (実業之日本社, 1987), p. 11, 101Leafy's translation

Ghosts that fly in graveyards and in the caves near Death Valley. They drift about in large numbers. For ghosts their bodies are hard, so touching one does a lot of damage. Some cannot be seen without the Cross.
