Me:) Well I know it's in there, it's frustrating but it's there, 
most people don't choose to stay here. Nick said he was afraid to 
die, like Voldemort, but said that he choose to stay here and not go 
onto the afterlife...or whatever you want to call it, (not sure on 
that one). But just like Dumbledore said about the Sorting Hat, 
ultimately it's our choice. And the ghost that are here, choose to 
be here. The only one I question is Moaning Myrtle, I don't think 
she choose to stay I think she was made to stay. Lori
