What is another word besides poltergiest that means a mischievous ghost? My mother and I have been trying to think of it, and it's driving us crazy...

bogey, kelpie, sprite, imp, gnome, gremlin, elf, pixie, brownie, sprite...okay, that's getting offtopic from ghosts....
Let me give it another shot...
haunt, bogeyman, demon, (demonling), wraith ah...if i just look it up and paste...
apparition, appearance, banshee, daemon, demon, devil, eidolon, ethereal being, haunt, incorporeal being, kelpie, manes, phantasm, phantom, poltergeist, revenant, shade, shadow, soul, specter, spirit, vampire, vision, visitor, wraith, zombie, deviling, devilkin
I kind of like sprite--one of its definitions is ghost, and a sprite would defintely be mischievous and light.

My personal favorite is "boggart." It's a British term, and is used to describe a household spirit that often causes disturbances by playing tricks, moving things, and being otherwise mischievous. :)
