"Ghosts" don't exist. The dead cannot become "ghosts". There are devils that can pretend to be "ghost phenomena" or other things, in order to try and deceive people, and once deceived, to painfully destroy their lives. And most important, trying to deceive people away from the Bible so people would refuse the truth and end up in hell.
.
The truth is that death leads to immediate heaven or hell, depending only on whether the person believed in Jesus for eternal life, or not.
The truth is that Jesus loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing in Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in Jesus to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven when you die, because you believe in Jesus! It is too late to be saved, after death
The age of the language. Ghost is an older word. However, spirit has some other connotations, so, they are not necessarily exactly the same thing. E.g., one can be "in good spirits," or, "in a spirit of reconciliation." Spirit used in this way does not mean ghost. But, the Holy Ghost, and Holy Spirit are two ways of saying the exact same thing.

Spirits are inside of us. Ghosts are not.
One is imaginary and the other doesn't exist.
One is bottled; the other unmasked at the end of every episode of Scooby Doo
There is one spirit, all connected. It's eternal. Ghosts are temporary images like bodies.
Nothing, really. Merely the spelling and pronunciation.
