The notion of ghosts and visitations from departed loved ones is problematic for me. I do not think it fits well with the Christian faith, though many would dispute that.
The entire supposition that spirits of the dead may appear and do physical mischief is far from my spectrum of reality. How the disincarnate departed possess the capacity for moving things around, rapping on cupboards, and knocking clocks off walls is the stuff of folklore, myth, superstition, and, possibly, wistfulness, if you ask me. (Now, if ghosts were to rap out their messages using, say, Morse code, I would be apt to listen.)
