Ghost is Bhoot...a sinner sometimes gets a ghost life...and sometime unfulfilled desires doesnt allow them to go in other world...until they get tht or someone performs the prayers or pind daan for them..
Spirit and soul are same..in hindi we call aatma..it is properly define only in hinduism..the journey of soul in other world..spirit and soul are one..but ppl get confused... Wandering spirit is Bhatakti aatma...
When a person dies..the soul is attached with desires, mann, budhi and ahankaar..until these things are not detached frm soul..it cannot go or travel further...so if is in wandering state or wandering spirit, thn the spirit or ghost can appear in front of us and they can make us feel the presence...if his or her wish is fulfilled, or one perform the prayers..the spirit can be freed frm state of suffering..
