2 Kings 2:15 (NKJV)
Now when the sons of the prophets who were from Jericho saw him, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." And they came to meet him, and bowed to the ground before him.
Luke 1:17 (NKJV)
He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
__________
Elijah had the Holy Spirit, but it was called " the spirit of Elijah"...meaning the Holy Spirit was passed on to Elisha.

The term Holy Spirit, comes from the Western Orthodox tradition and Latin. The term Holy Ghost comes from the King James version.
Look at Acts 2:4 in English, Greek, and Latin
They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (King James)
kai eplêsthêsan pantes PNEUMATOS HAGIOU, kai êrxanto lalein heterais glôssais kathôs to pneuma edidou apophthengesthai autois.
et repleti sunt omnes SPIRITU SANCTU et coeperunt loqui aliis linguis prout Spiritus Sanctus dabat eloqui illis.
Pneumatos and Spiritus both mean spirit, ghost, breath, or breeze. It was pretty obvious why Jerome chose Spiritus for Pneumatos when he did his translation, but he could have chosen Sancta Anima.
Today's meaning of Spirit and Ghost do not capture what the Greek and Latin words mean. There are other words that would mean a spectre you could see, but these were not used. Spiritus and Pneumatos mean a presence that is not seen but heard and felt.

Elijah was a prophet and the Holy Spirit is the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is God Elijah was not God.
