Ghosts are the two energies fused together. The theory goes when people die with a lot of intense emotions, the unfinished business, that energy pulls ecto energy to it and that forms a ghost. At least for those kind of ghosts, there's theories there's a few different kinds, but that's like the traditional ghost.
Usually ecto energy can't respond to human emotions like that, even when surrounded by a lot of ecto, because of all that...meat. [She gestures at herself and pauses.]
[Then a white ring appears around her waist, traveling over her body. Changing hair from white to black, eyes neon green to blue, skin a little less tan, voice a little less echoy.]
The meat interferes. It won't let it attach. Its why ghosts can't possess someone forever and stuff like ecto blasts don't work great on humans.
Half ghosts don't really happen without a....ah....let's say a certain kind of incident in an extremely high concentration of ecto energy.

[Blink. Blink.]
How does that work? Being half ghost.
Re: Hanahaki
It involves a lot of acceptance of psychic energy and ecto energy being an amphorous thing.

Though it sounds like the two energy types are bonded together?

Huh. That's incredibly dangerous.

And yeah, basically that is the consensus.
[That certain kind of incident may be Near Death Experience.]

Also the experiments.
The experiments are a concern. The Guys in White are jerks.

[And some of those attempts succeeded! But at least that wasn't dissection experiments, that was Vlad trying to study her and those were mostly okay.]
