Ghosts or paranormal , like psychics , has many many many false alarms, charlatans (historic tavern and inn owners like to, for example, spread ghosts stories because its good for business) and alternative explanations..that it becomes difficult to actually discuss 'ghosts' as the the original writer wanted to - even when defining the specific terms because the definition might not be correct.
Here is my take:
a. most are fraud or wishful thinking'
b. some are mistaken (old pipes in a house can sound remarkably human or animal for example, and one (Believe it or not) explanation for some 'little green men are actually great horned owls)
c. some might be echos/ripples or reflections of light across time -the same way sound can echo and radio waves- the same way fossils can leave an 'image' despit the fact the actually bone or feather are gone.
d. a small amount might be actual spirits.
