best ghosts!
Jacob Marley - this guy used to work for Ebenezer Scrooge but died one Christmas and came back as a ghost (also on Christmas!) to warn Scrooge about the perils of living a life of greed. it's a pretty famous story. also, i've heard the term "smoking a Marley" being bandied about in youth culture circles, so it probably has something to do with this guy.
Candyman - if you live in urban Chicago and say 'Candyman' five times while looking in a mirror, the Candyman will appear and kill you with his hook. i'm not sure why they call him Candyman; he just looks like a black dude wearing a fur trimmed pimp coat who carries a giant hook. i see no link to candy.
Stay Puft Marshmallow Man - a tall-as-a-building logo man made of gigantic marshmallows; actually the final form taken by evil demigod Gozer to destroy the Ghostbusters and most of downtown 1980's New York. prompted Peter Venkman to exclaim: "Nobody steps on a church in my town!"
Blinky - Blinky was the red ghost from Pac-Man. he lived in a maze.
Jesus - Jesus was the main ghost in the hugely popular fiction opus 'The Bible'. he could turn water to wine, come back to life whenever he wanted, and was generally a pretty nice guy. apparently he'll be returning to Earth sometime in the near future. sequel anyone?
Bruce Willis - totally badass. totally a ghost. how can you make die hard that which cannot die?
Captain Awesome - this is the ghost that i see in the early hours of the morning, before the dawn when i'm barely alive. more of an inspirational hallucination than an actual ghost. he said if i didn't include him in this list he'd stop making all the bad people go away and make me "deal with shit on my own". kind of an asshole.

I am sickened that I even have to say this but, GOST DAD! Hello? I mean seriously.
i'm sorry, you must have misread the title. it says "BEST ghosts"; not "freaky-ass lame Bill Cosby ghosts that are actually scary and make me sleep with the light on".
