What Causes a ‘Ghost’ to Haunt a Place?

Imagine a ghost is like a person who can't move on because they're still attached to something important. If that thing is in a certain place, like their old house or the spot where they died, the ghost might stay there forever, trying to finish what they started. That’s why ghosts haunt places.
