Ghosts are the supposed apparitions of the dead. A ghost is often thought to be the spirit or soul of a person
who has remained on Earth after death. According to some sources, a ghost may be the personality of a person after their death,
and not tied directly to the soul or spirit. Every culture in the world carries stories about ghosts, but they vary across
time and place, with disagreements both as to what ghosts are and whether they exist in reality.
A ghost is a visual manifestation of a soul, spirit, life force,
or life energy. Most people use this term to describe the visual appearance of a human being or creature that has died and
passed on to the other side. A ghost is residual in nature -- it does not interact with our physical world. There are many kinds of phenomenon that fall under the denomination
of ghosts but as always with monsters, we have to make a clear distinction between the different categories and base
ourselves on the several following oppositions : Some ghosts are the exact
image of the person they were, others are only recognizable by their faces. Often just a blur of white light is present. Some
are said to be solid, some are translucent, others only noticeable by a breath of warm air or a cold hand. A ghost may not
appear at all, but be recognized by eerie sounds or moving objects. Other spirits such as poltergeists are said to cause mischief,
ranging from spilt milk or tangled yarn to grave accidents, even death.
