Top Ten Ghost Movie and TV Show Cliches

Every movie and TV show has a ghost, and every one of them has a cliche.
The Top Ten
1 Nobody can see nor hear the ghosts

For example, in Beetlejuice, Lydia's parents can't see ghosts because they're invisible. Lydia can see ghosts.

...Except Oda Mae Brown (Whoopie Goldberg) in Ghost. She can hear Sam (Patrick Swayze) but not see him.

2 Everything that involves death

After people die, they became ghosts.

Or demonic possessions

3 The ghost meets the main character and they can be friends

If I was a ghost I'd be like, screw humans, Imma gonna scare 'em all

*cough* The Casper movie starring Christina Ricci *cough*.

4 The ghost can have telekinetic powers
5 Everytime if a ghost touches an object or someone or an animal, it goes right through them

It's called intangibility. The ghost can go through walls and stuff!

6 The ghost can scare people

All ghosts have to do is scare people.

7 Everyone is scared of the ghost

*cough* Casper the Friendly Ghost *cough*.

8 No one believes the main character because he or she can see ghosts

Main character: *sees a ghost* A GHOST!
Some random person: I don't see the ghost. *looks at it and it wasn't here* Wait a second! I told the truth! There are no such thing as ghosts! I don't believe you! What are ghosts? Imaginary friends?

You can treat the ghost like it's an imaginary friend.

Even in a T.V. episode adaption of "The Ghost Next Door" when Hannah is the ghost.

9 The ghost can haunt either a house or graveyard

Beetlejuice, Casper, American Horror Story: Murder House, The Frighteners, Poltergeist, The Sixth Sense, etc.

Ghosts can haunt anywhere!

10 Psychic mediums can see the ghost for real and a person who cannot see ghosts see that a psychic medium is talking to nothing

*cough* Ghost Whisperer. *cough*
