PHRASES the ghost in the machine Philosophy the mind viewed as distinct from the body (usually used in a derogatory fashion by critics of dualism).[coined by the philosopher Gilbert Ryle (1949).] give up the ghost die. • (of a machine) stop working. look as if you have seen a ghost look very pale and shocked. not stand a ghost of a chance have no chance at all. DERIVATIVES ghostlike |-?l?k| adjective ORIGIN Old English g?st (in the sense ‘spirit, soul’), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch geest and German Geist. The gh- spelling occurs first in Caxton, probably influenced by Flemish gheest .
I prefer the term "spiritual being" so as to make encounters less dramatic for all parties. How would you like to be encountered by some breathless, frightened person seeking to run away from you while muttering "ghost" in a quivering voice? Get over it will Ya? So I'm a ghost on a computer, I have feelings too.

I have had experiences - Can't say they were ghosts but weird nonetheless. apparitions and superstitions sometimes go hand in hand. if a person wants to see, they will see. Then it becomes fact! (in that persons mind) I am more Agnostic and do have some 'afraid not to believe'. I tend to believe more of spiritual connections between the living rather than the dead.
