A ghost from "A Christmas Carol"

A ghost is a purported spirit of a dead individual.

Before it was discovered what the two-dimensional lifeforms really were, Commander William T. Riker referred to them as ghosts and said he didn't want to be tailed by them all the way to T'lli Beta. (TNG: "The Loss")

For a moment, the Ux-Mal criminals on Mab-Bu VI appeared to the crew of the USS Enterprise-D as ghosts or spirits, that took control over the body of the living. Worf stated that the Klingon name for such a spirit was "jat'yIn". (TNG: "Power Play")

Some lifeforms are so alien, they can appear ghost-like. Anaphasic lifeforms are long-lived entities that can only appear corporeal when attached to a particular object, or a person with an unusual biochemistry. The females of the Crusher family were host to an anaphasic lifeform for centuries. (TNG: "Sub Rosa")

Many species believe that part of a person lives on after death; examples include the Bajoran pagh or the Ocampa comra. These beliefs are often found in religion.

While searching for information about the creators of the aphasia virus, Kira Nerys believed she searched for ghosts when she learned that one of the creators, Dekon Elig, died on stardate 39355. (DS9: "Babel")

Commander Sisko said ironically that Rao Vantika must had an accomplice who did the system breakdown because two of the bodies found on the Reyab were in the station's morgue and he ruled out the possibility that Vantika's ghost was wandering through Deep Space 9's halls. (DS9: "The Passenger")

The term "ghost" can also mean a false image or shadow of an image, as in a sensor ghost. (DS9: "Soldiers of the Empire")

After Jadzia Dax saw Quark's hologram of the apparently deceased Morn, the Ferengi told it looked as if she had "seen a ghost". (DS9: "Who Mourns for Morn?")
