chosen.content: Good question! Ghosts, like all solid objects, need to be touching something in order to remain standing. Therefore, if a ghost is standing on an empty area of the floor, it won’t be able to remain standing and will appear to “fall through” the floor. They can walk through walls or glide down stairs, however, because they are able to move from one object to another without needing physical contact. In fact, ghosts are so able to move around unseen that they can even “pass through” solid matter!

rejected.content: Ghosts are thought to be able to pass through solid material because of their ethereal nature. Since a ghost has no physical substance, it is able to pass through walls and floorboards, much like a shadow. Additionally, some supernatural theories suggest that ghosts use the ether, or some kind of astral plane, instead of solid matter to move from one location to another.
