Nikkalmati:
I've seen other listees refer to Peeves as a ghost, but I am not sure if
there is any canon for that. I always thought a poltergeist is a different
kind or creature entirely, not someone who was once alive. Is there some
evidence in the books to the contrary?


Tiffany: says:
I don't believe there is anything in the books, but here's what I found on
j.K. Rowling's site in  the FAQ section.

Peeves chews gum, how can he when he is a ghost? (Nearly Headless Nick can't
eat).

Peeves isn't a ghost; he was never a living person. He is an indestructible
spirit of chaos, and solid enough to unscrew chandeliers, throw walking
sticks
and, yes, chew gum.
