TheTrue Ghost appears as a whitish grey misty shape and is often referred to as a 
'Grey Lady'. Sometimes a dark mist can be seen and this phenomena is said to be a 'dark soul' as 
opposed to the good natured 'light soul'.
The Traditional Ghost of a semi-transparent figure in period costume is probably
not a ghost at all but a 'recorded image' - somehow captured by the atmosphere of the building 
and replayed in much the same way as a video tape. The 'ghost' usually repeats the same actions 
and does not interreact with the witness. The mechanism by which this phenomena operates is 
often referred to as the 'Stone Tape Theory'.        
The Crisis Apparition   is the image of a person who is or has experienced a 
severe trauma but isn't necessarily dead! Usually they appear to a relative or close friend - for instance, 
if one of your close relatives is  involved in a near fatal car accident, their image is somehow projected 
and  manifested right in front of you, appearing quite solid, prompting you to reach  for the phone 
to check out their condition.        
The Anniversary Ghost as its title suggests, appears in the same place at 
the same time each year and is usually a 'recorded' image.  
The Poltergeist or 'noisy spirit' has been  known to upturn furniture and 
throw objects around. Recent studies have shown  that the activity is somehow linked 
with teenage girls (sometimes boys) going  through puberty and could possibly be 
hormonal/emotional stress externalised in a way we do not yet understand.

Other variables of ghosts include images of inanimate objects such as aircraft, trains, ships at sea 
and even buildings that mysteriously appear and disappear! Other ghosts are 'felt' or only heard,  
sometimes an aroma or partial vacuum is associated with the manifestation.
