Here at Esquire, we love all things spooky, so with Halloween fast approaching at the end of the month, we ranked our favorite ghosts from worst to best. Can you really blame them? If you were a ghost, wouldn’t you, too, want to levitate a lamp and make some hapless witness crap his pants? Not all ghosts are crusaders in search of justice or spiritual connection, after all-some are tricksters, some are malingerers, and some are just out to cause as much commotion as they possibly can. Some are mischievous some are looking for love (and even sex) from the living others are just plain flatulent. However, not all ghosts take themselves and their mission so seriously. We love ghosts because they suggest a world without dying, because they can lend a measure of justice to unjust deaths, because they provide a means of communicating with our loved ones from beyond the grave. Ghosts are braided into our folklore, after all-think the Headless Horseman or Bloody Mary-and we’ll hazard a guess that even primitive humans were painting ghosts on their cave walls. Human beings have told ghost stories since time immemorial.
