Difference between spirit and ghost

Many people are not sure about what is the difference between spirit and ghost?Some are confused if there is any difference at all?At some point they are the same but they are not.Let me explain it why.

Spirits are people who have passed and crossed over into the light.Lot of mediums use terms like 'crossing over into the light', which means that when a person dies, they pass quickly through the passage of light into the spirit world.Once they passed into the spirit world and through the light, they become 'spirits' .The Light is merely the doorway to the spirit realm or guides the deceased into the afterlife. There are spirits who come back to visit their family they left behind but they are based in the spirit world, on a constant basis.Spirits in the spirit world, are going through a life review learning process after that they are able to come and go between the physical world and Afterlife.

Ok, so now the meaning of  ghosts.As I said above they are the same at some point and that is that ghosts are deceased people too.The difference is that when the person dies, they  choose not to cross over, it can be many reason why not. It is usually because they dont realise they are dead, they might need help to cross over, or it is because the person is confused, and doesn't realise the light is for them to go into. It might be the case of guilt or traumatic death is the cause choosing not to cross over. So in this case the ghost "is" stuck between the physical world and Afterlife.
