There is always at least one sense missing- a ghost might be seen, heard, but not touched. Or heard and smelled but not seen or felt. Or felt but not seen or heard. If you can see, feel, hear, touch, and taste, then it is real.
Has there ever been a ghost one could taste?
Am I cheating?
marshmallow ghosts
Pac-Man
Halloween
Back to the whole tasting thing. The ghost in that silly Nora Roberts book I just read manifested as the smell of flowers, occasional sighting, and occasional writing-on-the-mirror-in-steam. Lots of ghosts can be heard. And sometimes ghosts can be felt; they run ghostly fingers across your arm, or fling furniture around in a ghostly rage. But taste never comes into it. Which means that the best method of ghost-detection is to try to lick your ghost. If you can lick it, it's not a ghost. Free advice, from me to you.
