It may just be some odd spooky apparition.
There's also the odd rare case of a ghost that was never a living human being. They can move on any time they want they just don't want to because they're having too much fun. They were magically prevented from going to, or were magically drawn back from, the Afterlife. They're a spirit form of lich, and actively made preparations to ensure themselves eternal life after their bodies gave up. They were naughty (or very, very naughty) and ghosthood is a purgatorial stage before they will be allowed on. They were very, very naughty in life and fear crossing over and facing possible cosmic retribution. Someone is mourning them too much, and as a consequence, they are bound to this world. 
Someone saw to it that they received proper funeral rites, and they must reward this person before they go on. Their graves have been improperly moved or desecrated, and they're angry about it. No funeral, no grave-they can not rest without proper memoralization. They feel someone they love can't make it without them, or needs protection. In paranormal fields, these are usually called residual hauntings. The ghost isn't even the person's soul, but just a spectral imprint left behind by the person's death that's gained a form of sentience. The ghost suffered so in life that the spirit was drawn to the place where the worst torment took place. They're aware they're dead and angry at the living for still living. This can lead to a Tomato in the Mirror shock, an Obi Wan or a Ghostly Advisor. The ghost hasn't yet figured out they're dead, or are so attached to what they did in life they are still doing it out of habit and/or affection. The ghost hangs around until this is done, and may or may not move on afterward. Unfinished Business: something that was significant or important to the person they used to be when alive remains undone. They may explicitly say that they can not rest easy in the graves until they are avenged. This one can also lead to ghosts becoming violent and angry if not avenged. Sometimes, this also comes with a Clear My Name sidebar. 
Avenge me! The ghost was killed through foul play, knows it, and wants the murder avenged.It all depends on what kind of story is being told.
Some are friendly, some are neutral, and some are wrathful. Ghosts are usually people who have died, but their spirits are still lingering around.
