The Old Testament was originally written mostly in Hebrew.
The New Testament was originally written in Greek.
The Third Person of the Holy Trinity, now commonly called in English "the Holy Spirit," is in Hebrew: רוח הקודש or Ruah haqodesh
And is in Greek: το Άγιο Πνεύμα
These Hebrew and Greek words have been translated into English as both the "Holy Ghost" and "Holy Spirit."
It was originally translated as "Holy Ghost" but later translations use a more spiritual "Holy Spirit."
With love in Christ.

The Holy Spirit and the Holy Ghost are the same person. The King James Bible translated the word as "Ghost" but it means the same thing as Spirit.

Theologically speaking, the concept of Holy Ghost as ‘Filioque’(“a double procession”) was added to the Original Doctrine much later. As taught by the Greek theologians and advocated by St. Augustine, it simply makes the Holy Ghost a “go-between” communications or things that proceed from the Father and is received by an individual via Jesus Christ. One may argue that since the Holy Ghost emanates from God the Father, it is also God. In reality, this would only be possible if there was a "total emanation" (100% transfer). If that be the case, then the Primary Source has either annihilated Himself (Itself) or has produced a Clone. God the Father still exists and Christians with their Trinitarian Beliefs yet claim God is One.

No difference. The term ghost had become archaic. It had become restricted in common usage to mean the spirit of dead people. To make it clear that we were speaking of God, the term Spirit was adopted in the 1960s.

They mean the same, but Spirit is better, because God is not a spook!
