Ghosts inhabited the Ark of the Covenant.
As René Emile Belloq and the Nazis opened the Ark, the spirits emerged from the chest and flew around and through the awestruck soldiers. When they flew near Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood they simply bypassed them because their eyes were closed.
At first appearing to be benevolent or in Belloq's words, "Beautiful!" the spirits suddenly transformed into sinister angels of death, effectively sealing the fate of Belloq and the Nazis. The spirits went back into the Ark and combined to form a fiery ball of lightning that shot all the Nazi soldiers dead and incinerated Belloq, Herman Dietrich, and Arnold Ernst Toht.
Behind the scenes
Although never stated, it is unknown if the Ghosts are the souls of previous victims of the Ark of the Covenant's wrath or if they are divine beings themselves. However, as in many official media they are described as angels of death, the idea that they are divine being is the most likely.
There were plans of Hasbro to make a Deluxe set of an unknown action figure (rumored to be a Nazi) and an Ark Ghost,[1] but the toyline was cancelled before any set could see a release.
