 Of course he isn't a ghost... He is a poltergeist.  A poltergeist is
not a normal ghost, but one that can effect the physical world, in that
they can throw things around and pick things up that a ghost would pass
right through. A poltergeist tends to be more emotional and/or violent
natured then a ghost traditionally.
