PHANTASOKINETIC

The capability of a ghost or spirit to move objects.

Certain types of spirits, while being technically incorporeal (have no body to go with) with have the ability to interact with the physical world. The poltergeist is probably the best-known type of ghost have this ability, though it can strictly become a manifested power in any type of haunting. The mechanism is similar to telekinesis in living individuals but is far more power-hungry for a spiritual core to operate and therefore can often result in violent jerky and incidentally destructive spasms rather than controlled motion.

While the prospect of a ghost with the ability to use items might seem rather disturbing, just in case your granddad comes back and tries to use his old bed again, only powerful magical individuals will have that kind of power right from the end. More domestic ghosts do possess this ability (hence the poltergeist) but because of the amount of time it takes to gain any sort of control over the ability, they have often forgotten what it was they were intending to do by the time they have that control.
