I. History and Origin
Among the mythical species, Ghosts are the most commonly believed in specie in modern society. Most of that is due to their lack of care about exposure. Unlike the other species, Ghosts do not play by any code or rule and cannot be interacted with for the most part. This makes them more likely to attempt small interactions around humans to see if they notice. Fortunately, humans have taken this one step further and have surrounded themselves with potential "hauntings" that are no more than a leaky pipe or breezy draft, thus reducing the legitimacy of actual Ghost interactions.
Ghosts have been around since the first men walked the Earth. Each one has their own backstory, affiliation, and origin; which makes it virtually impossible to consistently record a history and origin for the group overall. Instead, records normally speak about individual Ghosts or hauntings rather than the group.

II. Appearance
Ghosts can have many different appearances. They can look like an animal or a human depending on the circumstances. Their outfit normally depends on the time period in which they died, but what they are wearing does not change.
In addition, Ghosts also have a constant transparency to their form which allows you to be able to see through them at all times similar to how one can see through thin sheets.

III. Becoming a Ghost
Ghosts cannot reproduce, and must be formed into existence through death. When a human dies, should they choose not to pass on to the next side, they will end up coming back as a Ghost. However, should they do this too soon, they will never be able to be revived. Becoming a Ghost is for an eternity with no promise of afterlife, so it is not a common choice among the dead.
Because Ghosts cannot age and will not grow or excel, they by definition have no fledgling stage. A Ghost will always be the state it died in. This in turn means that Ghosts are not admitted into the Academy.
