Is it possible for two ghosts to have sex and produce a baby ghost?

[loinburger]

Typically a ghost is generated when somebody dies with unfinished business (like serious unfinished business, not "oh crap I forgot to take out the trash!"), but then this doesn't explain the existence of friendly juvenile ghosts like Casper - it seems very unlikely that a child would die with serious unfinished business ("oh crap I forgot to annoy Mr. Wilson!"), and even if they did then they ought to be menacing rather than friendly (I'm assuming that Casper's friendliness is not just a ruse). One possible explanation is that when two ghosts have sex then one of the ghosts (presumably a female ghost, but ghost human anatomy might not have a bijective mapping to live human anatomy) might become pregnant and eventually give birth to a baby ghost - this baby ghost wouldn't have all of the menace/angst one usually associates with ghosts, hence we get anomalies like Casper the friendly ghost.

I have decided not to Google this topic.

Looked at thread title, knew who thread creator was.

Somehow I figured it would be a poke at religion.

They could, but they wouldn't feel anything so they probably wouldn't bother.

I think it's about them poking each other?

Where is the poll?

Also, the answer is no. Ghosts, as it is well established, reproduce via phasmatic fission.

Is this some kind of hint to starcraft ?

Only if they're Mormon ghosts.

Are there aborted fetus ghosts? Certainly, ending a life in the womb would leave a lifetime of unfinished business.

And judging by infant mortality rates over human history, ghosts should be like 99% fetus or baby

Usually "unfinished business" is in the eye of the deceased, i.e. if the deceased doesn't know that they have unfinished business (as would be the case with most fetuses) then they won't leave a ghost

I mean, imagine you dying and going to Hell and having Satan say "wait, you're not supposed to be here yet - why didn't you leave behind a ghost?" to which you say "why would I leave a ghost, my goal was to smoke all of the weed and I did just that," and then Satan says "well Felch always fantasized about you felching him and he projected this fantasy onto you, so now you have to haunt the mortal realm until you felch Felch." That would suck (for you, not for Felch)

All babies and dead fetuses go to hell by default. Original sin.

Plus ghosts get to stick around by sheer power of will? Then you will certainly get stupid ass kid ghosts who just want to annoy Mister

I thought the Simpsons resolved that Casper is the ghost of Richie Rich. It makes sense that he was unable to find true happiness in wealth, so his ghost form dedicated itself to forming human connections.
