A ghost has been defined as the disembodied spirit or soul of a deceased person, although in popular usage the term refers only to the apparition of such a person. Often described as insubstantial and partly transparent, ghosts are reported to haunt particular locations or people that they were associated with in life or at time of death.

Phantom armies, ghost-animals, ghost trains and phantom ships have also been reported.

A poll conducted in 2003 showed that more than half of adults in the United States believe in ghosts and/or demons.

Ghosts or similar paranormal entities appear in film, theatre, and literature; legends and myths, and some religions.

How do you take care of ghost shrimp?
Q. I am thinking about putting 2-3 ghost shrimp in a 2.5 gallon tank. How do I care for them? I have already done internet research but would like to learn more.
Asked by FuzzyMonster - Wed Jul 18 23:01:44 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Do you have any other fish in there? Be careful because ghost shrimp are often a favorite food of a lot of other fish. Luckily, 2.5 gallons is small enough that fish that would fit in there really wouldn't be able to EASILY eat a ghost shrimp. Ideally get at least 5-6 for them to thrive. They are fine in smaller groups but do better in a larger one as long as there is enough space and no competition for food. Give them hiding places for when they molt. (They are too easily attacked during that time.) They will eat any time of fish food and will swim up to get it as well as wait for it to fall to them, depends on the personality of the individual shrimp and the safety of the tank waters. Being virtually invisible, you might not see… [cont.]

Asked by marymac - Sun Feb 17 19:03:01 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No. The way to the warp cannon is just a secret exit in world 4-GH. To beat this level, you have to go onto the red-and-yellow platforms at the beginning, hit the P switch to change the bricks blocking the pipe into coins. Then hit the red switch at the top to make the transparent blocks solid. Then go throuth the door. Then do Wall-Jumps up to a higher place (Left+A on a wall, then Right+A on the other wall.) Then hit the other red ! switch and quickly get to the pipe. Now go all the way up to the top and get to the door. There's your regular exit. To get to the warp cannon, hit the 2nd red ! switch again, but as Mini Mario/Luigi. Now, wall jump onto the higher part of the pipe to find a passageway. It contains the secret exit and also… [cont.]

How long does it take to become a ghost?
Q. I have heard somewhere, I don't remember where or when, that it takes 100 years after death to become a ghost. Thinking about this I realize that it may be 100 years after birth (assuming one dies before their 100th birthday). I am not referring to ghosts that appear at the time of death to loved ones but ghosts that haunt something or somewhere. If you have heard this I'd also like to know where, maybe it is the source I can't remember. Thanks!

A. it doesnt take that long. if a ghost is close to an object or a person still living, it can take them not long at all to be a ghost. also if they lived a tragic life by war or murder, it wont take them long either.
