I also wonder why ghosts are so often depicted as being white in colour. Are there any ghostly women who aren't wearing white? Long, white dress; wedding dress; long, white nightgown. Usually soaking wet and hitching a ride on a dark, lonely stretch of road. That's a too-common description. Why do we not hear about spectres of brightly costumed clowns? Why no young mothers, bestained after feeding or changing an infant? Why no naturists? I mean, they're generally healthy, but come on! None of them ever leave this physical world?

         I actually know an entity who is trapped in this world until someone helps it move on. Me. I'm also aware that there are many people around who would love to help me 'move on' --- and a few who are actively working toward that goal.
