my humble opinion:

i feel that ghosts and spirits are 2 different things.

spirits are of the astral plane. like, when you get a visit from your dear old late grandmother and she tells you she's ok and she loves you. thats a spirit. or if you believe in guides or angels or what have you, then those beings would be on the astral planes.

ghosts are stuck here in their etherical bodies, almost like in between planes. they dont vibrate at the same frequency as a spirit does (but they can), hence why for most its easier to have ghost encounter than a spirit one. they also dont vibrate at our exact frequency, but closer to where we are than to the astral plane. thats why when you see a ghost in a form that looks like a person, you can pretty much see through it. its vibrating differently.

its like they are stuck in the middle i would say. for whatever reason. i guess maybe a real ghsot cant accept it all and/or feels compelled to stay. after its physical bodies keeled over, its soul is still meandering around, not heading to the astral level. if it decides to head to the astral plane, that is where it will meet with the other so called "dead" of our realm and live in its etherical body in a different frequency. and since the astral plane would be where we alledgedly plan our incarnations for whichever density it is a part of, then they might start planning another incarnation once they make it there. but until they do, they continue to display the form that they were in physically when they "lived" here....or they "haunt" their old home or stay with certain objects, etc etc.

...i dont claim to know all of this per se, but my studies of the paranormal and ghosts led me to my spirituality, so ive done some reading....i think it makes perfectly good sense anyway....

hope i helped...a little?.....maybe?.....
