"Spirits of the dead, like wind or a white fabric, is different from ghosts, like an old times' human figure that has colours but which one can maybe part of the time partially see through. A ghost has liked to live in some place, still just lives there, even though all have not noticed him/her, but maybe he/she is an elderly person who just lives quietly and likes handiworks, maybe wants to keep up handiworks tradition and that tpogether with older age makes the clothes look unusual. If the world is of spirit, he/she is maybe sometimes with you in the same world, when you somehow like to live in the same kind of miljo as her/she, and at other times,when you live a different kind of life at different times of the day or night, he/she is maybe not there seen at all in your spheres of life.
Spirits of the dead are on the other hand spirits of the deceased that search for their place or is not fully satisfied with the environment in some respect and so goes away to some other place. (I guess that one usually says that they are restless spirits.) It can also be a far away person's way to remember a relative or the like person that one used to know. At least a few years ago in the birthdays of my mother and father in the previous evening at 23.00 and in the evening of the birthday at the same time there was a cold wind in my apartment and the door made sounds at the wind, even though ordinarily not at all, and the birthdays lacked the old familiar atmosphere that they celebrate their birthdays and in some moment remember also me.
I do not know how one could see ghosts, but I guess that it is via liking some place, being fascinated by it, a place that has a long history, that has been liked and valued.
I guess that spirits of the dead are easier to notice, but mostly as a feeling of cold, as such an atmosphere somewhere. For example some tens of centimeters near the wall of a graveyard (outside the graveyard - I guess that those are spirits of the dead that do not have a resting place inside the graveyard, for example dead animals). Also, somewhere where there are graves, if there is an open space like a lawn near by that one could wander in, it may be as if there would wander there some dim with an atmosphere connected to the graves, a little bit like that light fabric figure clishee but a milder version of it, or making one feel cold like the paws of mice. At the time of dark at the edges of car's lights where there is good light, may have like an atmosphere like cold and fleeing, maybe animals consider it a dangerous place to be. Likewise, if one has a bright light but no lights ourdoors, in the yeard if people have wandered back and forth with bright lights, and so somehow broken the atmosphere there, if you wander there more calmly, quietly and listen to the atmoshere or look from an open door in the light of the lights indoors, it is somehow an atmosphere like ´the spirits of the dead and makes on efeel cold and it is nice to go in.
I guess that these are dangerous like tendency to accidents is dangerous, somehow a poor base for life compared to one's ordinary, like when one is tired or burdened by something, which is in this case the lack of alive things or paying attention to former accident and/or former unwise ways and via that social influences from that error. Like thsi can also happen at`/around the same day of the year as someone died: the things is in many person's and animal's minds, and so the same kinds of thinsg get repeated but as milder, since it is a big thing ffor all, but this time with an emphazis on the death theme, while formerly I guess the problem was carelessness.
