Ghosts

In a previous post, I asked what are we to think of the people who
have died yet live on in the picture frames. I'm really wondering what
is JKR saying about death. If the WW doesn't have real death, is there
a reason  for LV to be afraid?

Nearly Headless Nick tells Harry that wizards can leave behind a pale
imprint of themselves. With Peeves, it seems is sometime pale and
sometimes  not. Peeves is insubstantial enough to walk through walls.
Yet he can also be solid enough to drop objects. I get very
uncomfortable with that.

Now photons don't have mass. So ghosts can be vague shapes floating
around. But how do they speak? Speech requires the vocal chords to
move air. This means to me, only psychics should be able to
communicate with ghosts.
