   What is a ghost?

   A ghost - or spirit or apparition - is the energy, soul or personality of a person who has died and has somehow gotten stuck between this plane of existence and the next. Most researchers believe that these spirits do not know they are dead. Very often they have died under traumatic, unusual or highly emotional circumstances. Ghosts can be perceived by the living in a number of ways: through sight (apparitions), sound (voices), smell (frangrances and odors), touch - and sometimes they can just be sensed.

   Why do ghosts haunt?

   Due to many reasons (unfinished business, etc.), some spirits do not pass over to the after-life/next plane after death. This can be permanently, or only for a certain time (e.g. until the unfinished business has been taken care of).

   Are ghosts evil?

   Just like living people can be good or evil, have a friendly or mean disposition, be nice or be spiteful, etc., so ghosts can behave in the same way. So, no, not all ghosts are evil.
