Ghosts are ethereal creatures brought into existence as a result of a persons inner turbulence or torment. Ghosts often are expressed as the dead, because the mind goes through the most turmoil during the death of another being. Even if you are not consciously aware of someone dying, you may experience ghosts solely because you are confused, lost or afraid - the ghosts are reificated. They are tangible representations of struggles that you or someone within your' sphere of influence may be experiencing.
ED. Personifications is the word.
