However, though everybody knows what is meant by seeing a ghost, few are aware that they fall into several distinct types, and seemingly always have.;First there are revenants, returning voluntarily or under duress to the world of the living. When these are recently-dead family or friends, one might well suspect wish fulfillment. Occasionally, though, revenants appear to complete strangers. Next there are haunters who always appear in the same place and may be seen by many…
