What do ghosts want?

Ghosts are fictional entities and their motivations depend on the context of the story or myth they are featured in. In many popular portrayals, ghosts may have unfinished business related to their lives or relationships; seeking redemption, resolution, closure, to make peace or seek justice. Some may seek to communicate with or influence the living. However, these fictional depictions vary wildly and should not be interpreted as actual beliefs or realities about the nature of real world.
