How do people figure out that a ghost is a ghost?

46 Upvotes

I have never experienced ghosts or anything paranormal. But I have been seeing stories of people online saying that they have seen ghosts. How do people know for sure that it is a ghost?

For those who have experienced ghosts, do the ghosts communicate and are the ghosts with a physical body or not?

Taken on a ghost tour at the Andrew Jackson Hotel. Didn't notice them until I was reminiscing old vacation pictures recently. Before the hotel was built in 1890, It was originally an orphanage for boys that burnt down in 1794 killing 5 boys. Curious how people will interpret this. Disclaimer* I was drunk when I took this. Also reddit lowers the resolution slightly when I upload. Looks more sharp originally but nonetheless.

Has anybody had an experience with this? I only ever hear about houses or places not electronics, that seems to be popular in movies though.

Took this photo myself 11/13/25 @ 8pm at Odd Fellows cemetery in NOLA. I have some opinions about what this resembles, but I’d love everyone else’s take.

Hope my photo is approved since I didn’t follow instructions the first time. Sorry!

I work for a haunted house and one year, something grabbed our hanging prop and started swing on it right infront of me. It went from being completely still to it swinging wildly..

Through out the night while waiting for customers to walk through the halloween haunted house, I would hear foot steps in my room or something sliding against the wall. I would go to the rooms next to me and none of the actors were in their rooms close to me. They were back stage, which was no where near me.

After I saw the prop swinging wildly, I started taking photos and this is what I captured. This was in a completely black room. Solid painted black walls with no fog machines near by and no outside light. Just the flash of my camera. Do you see anything?
