Battle[]
Possess.
Ghosts are elusive and tricky enemies fought on the Train Graveyard, capable of phasing in and out of combat. They can alternate between repelling physical, by casting 
Shield on themselves, and magical attacks, by casting 
Reflect. They can also drain the life of their victims with Animus, which deals damage to the target while healing themselves.
The ghosts are weak to 
Fire and take damage from curative magic.
Strategy[]
A way around the ghosts' alternating resistances is to keep switching between party members: Cloud is good for physical and magical damage, Tifa is good for physical attacks, and Aerith is best at dealing magical damage, and can be equipped with the 
Synergy Materia for constant magic pelting. Cloud or Tifa can equip 
Fire Materia with Elemental Materia to their weapon. When the ghosts appear with other enemies, Aerith can focus on the ghosts while Cloud and Tifa focus on the others. Casting 
Manaward on the party halves damage from the ghosts' attacks.
An easy way to deal with Ghosts is with the Raise spell. Linking Revival Materia with Magnify Materia takes them all out in one move.
Hard Mode[]
On the hard difficulty, the ghosts will phase out more often, and will often appear away from the player's reach to use Animus. They're not particularly more challenging, however.
Aerith can use normal attacks and Ray of Judgment to deal magical damage without expending MP. For the battle around the turntable, it is better to preserve MP however possible. 
Prayer Materia is preferable for healing. Aerith should use Soul Drain and cast spells paired with MP Absorption Materia against ghosts that become immune to physical damage. Cloud and Tifa can focus entirely on physical damage with Cloud using Triple Slash to clear waves while Tifa focuses on individual targets, however, Cloud's Blade Burst and Tifa's Chi Trap can also be used for MP-free magical damage.

Etymology[]
A ghost is the soul or spirit of a deceased person or animal that can appear, in visible form or other manifestation, to the living. Ghosts are generally described as solitary essences that haunt particular locations, objects, or people they were associated with in life, though stories of phantom armies, ghost trains, phantom ships, and even ghost animals have also been recounted.
