From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A ghost has been defined as the disembodied soul or spirit of a deceased person, taken to be capable of appearing in visible form or otherwise manifesting itself to the living. Descriptions of the apparition of ghosts vary widely: The mode of manifestation can range from an invisible presence to translucent or wispy shapes, to realistic, life-like visions. The deliberate attempt to contact the spirit of a deceased person is known as necromancy, or in spiritism as a séance. Beginning with 19th-century spiritism, various attempts have been made to draw conclusions about the existence of ghosts through scientific methods, but such efforts are generally held to be pseudoscientific. The scientific consensus, as expressed by the National Science Foundation, considers the claimed ability of people to communicate with the dead, as well as belief in ghosts and spirits, to be pseudoscientific beliefs. The belief in manifestations of the spirits of the dead is widespread dating back to animism or ancestor worship in pre-literate cultures. Certain religious practices — funeral rites, exorcisms, and some practices of spiritualism and ritual magic — are specifically designed to appease the spirits of the dead. Ghosts are generally described as solitary essences which haunt particular locations, objects, or people with which they were associated in life, though stories of phantom armies, ghost trains and phantom ships, and even ghost animals have also been recounted. Ghosts are popular motifs in film, theatre, literature, and myth and legend, as are other paranormal entities. They often carry connotations of violence, suffering, disquiet, or penance.

Q. Ok, I never believed in ghost.. but once my friend told me she is at the top of the stairs and something pushed her down? She said she needed my help because she is too scared on her own, so I slept round her's but nothing is happening? Asked by Smile for tomorrow x - Fri Sep 7 05:33:14 2007 - - 9 Answers - 5 Comments A. i think u should listen to her cause i have had my own experiences with spirits plus even if she is lying she just wants attention from a friend and u should probably give it to her sometimes ppl feel alone and need a helpin hand and if she truly is telling the truth u should try 2 stay with her because some spirits r bad news and when someone else is there the spirit wont pull anything because it wants the person its haunting to think shes crazy it happens to a lot of ppl Answered by Tiffany R - Fri Sep 7 10:36:51 2007 How big is a ghost shrimp supposed to get? Q. I have two "ghost shrimp", one is barely 1 1/2 inches and the other one is about 4-5 inches. Is the big one even a ghost shrimp? If not, what is he? The two shrimp look exactly the same one is just much bigger than the other. Asked by Sam S - Tue Dec 30 22:16:58 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. They should be around 1-2 inches. The other one is probably another type of shrimp. I don't think they get larger than this. Is that shrimp clear and transparent? If its not, then it's probably not a ghost shrimp. I'm guessing it's an amano shrimp. They are larger and somewhat transparent. They have dots all over them. Heres a picture of it: Answered by baboom500 - Tue Dec 30 22:35:27 2008 What do you think the daughter of a human woman and a male ghost would be like?
Q. "Jane" (the mother of my protagonist) snuck into the spirit world and fell in love with a ghost. They get "married" and have sex and the woman gets pregnant. What do you think her baby would be like? A normal human? Some kind of hybrid that has some ghost-like abilities (ie: can perhaps make themselves partially invisible, can influence humans, etc.) Do you think that she would look like a human or be all pale and ghost like? Asked by Ross - Wed Nov 26 21:52:36 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. why not make her look and seem like a normal person, but as she gets older she realizes she can go through things like walls. but other than that, i think she should just seem like a normal person. maybe make her some of the qualities you'd think of for a ghost, like aloof and shy, and maybe a little timid. but she could be very artistic or something like that. sounds like a great story :] Answered by curious_cate08 - Wed Nov 26 22:10:10 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "ghost" Ghost (1990) is a supernatural romance film starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Tony Goldwyn and Whoopi Goldberg, written by Bruce Joel Rubin and directed by Jerry Zucker.
