Ghosts are supernatural manifestations of that great fallen angel or his billions of fallen angels that were kicked out with him from heaven whose name was Lucifer, but now is also called Satan. The following statement to this effect was written by a prophetess of the one true creator God of the old and new testaments and is found in White EG. Patriarchs and Prophets 1890; Chap. 66 - The Death of Saul: 479-480.
quote:
"That supernatural appearance was produced solely by the power of Satan. He could as easily assume the form of Samuel as he could assume that of an angel of light, when he tempted Christ in the wilderness."
Also in first book of the Bible, Genesis, Chapter 3, Lucifer takes the form of a serpent, so as to deceive the first women. That would place the first ghost as far back as 6000 years ago.
Humans should stay away from ghosts, because nothing truly good will become of any work with ghosts.

Ghost are demons, demons can take any form, I do not think a God, being almighty would, let the dead hang around, even if they had unfinished business to attend to. Demons are fallen angels and have the same power as Angels do. They like to inhabit places were a traumatic event took place. This is called a territorial stronghold. Usually called hauntings. "Stronghold" Greek strong's fortress, or prison-fortified place. 2 Cor 10:3-5. Remember the story of the Gergesene Demoniacs in Matt 8:28-34. (Mark 5:1-20, Luke 8:26-39) If you’re not religious, you may want to read it. This territory had a stronghold of demons over it, not to mention one man (Personal stronghold-possession) who had a legion of demons in him. Mark 5:9. Jesus freed the man, and in so doing freed the territory of its stronghold/haunting. When the demons went into the swine, the demons did not like the swine, so they drown the swine, this also killed the pigs that the Pagan worshippers used to sacrifice to their God's and killed that business off as well. Jesus healed the land and killed the Pagan worshipping (they used the pigs to sacrifice for food for their god’s) business for a time. My point is, demons are Ghosts and dead people are not.

A ghost is usually a person who has died suddenly and has not turned towards the light. They are earth bound and roam the area where they have died.
Watch the movie Ghost all though it is fiction it will be of some help to you.
Good luck with your project
