"If you go with the theory that ghosts are recordings of the past somehow captured by the fabric of buildings ... know of this is a 1972 UK TV play called The Stone Tape by Nigel Kneale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The Stone Tape). Bert"

And to follow up there's the Quatermass and the Pit, in which reports of ghosts actually turn out to be visions of long-dead Martians so, in essence you have "ghosts" of aliens.

And that's not the only "alien ghost" movie you also have Ghosts of Mars and you have that Final Fantasy CGI movie in which the earth has been ravaged by these phantom beings that turn out to be, literally, the ghosts of creatures from another world.

Dean Koontz wrote a popular series of novels featuring a guy called Odd Thomas. In one of the novels, he helps solve the mystery with the help of a ghost Laborador Retriever and yes the ghost of ***.

Not to mention, there's that weird song from the '70s, "Wildfire," about a ghostly horse and its rider.

There are all kinds of ghostly horsemen. I assume they don't ride live steeds as they would probably spook the horses. And what about the devil's herd that the ghost riders in the sky take care of? No way are live cows wandering through the atmosphere.

"There are all kinds of ghostly horsemen. I assume they ... of? No way are live cows wandering through the atmosphere."

"God, I hope not."

Once I was purchasing produce from an open-air street market. Next to me was an elderly lady also squeezing tomatoes and smelling melons.

Suddenly, SPLAT! A bird dropping smacked her on the forearm.

She looked down at her dripping forearm and announced, very calmly, "At times like these, I thank the Lord that cows don't fly."

Marvellous reaction. In my younger days if that had happened to me I would have raged that the entire universe was against me and gone out on a self-destructive bender.
