Some are "free souls" (the part of us that carries our awareness into death - the bit most people mean when they say "soul") who are stuck here. (Most stuck souls are not here and therefore aren't perceived as ghosts.) They need help.
Some are what you refer to as a 'recording' - I understand these to be the memories of spirits of buildings or land. Sometimes these spirits are traumatised by what they have seen or experienced and keep replaying it over in their memories. The house or land may then need help.
Some are land spirits and house spirits who belong where they are and who don't need any help.
Some (particularly those who 'haunt' graveyards and cemeteries) are the "body soul". They occasionally need help but usually not.
What about those ghosts who hang around familiar objects, not wanting to let go of them? An old boyfriend of mine once bought a second hand piano that had a ghost attached to it.
This seems as if the ghost has a conscience of some sort.

Now we're getting into the nitty-gritty.....;)
What actually happens after death? We do not all suffer the same. Some go peacefully,some go with a tug and a push.
Not all physical bodies want to depart the earth plane....
Souls have memories of relatives,loved ones.
If the soul didn't care,why would we bother to try and say 'Goodbye'?

That is a 'stuck' free soul, and can be helped.
(Ever see a Chinese film called Rouge? It's about a haunted writing desk.)

We'd bother because we care.
This is something that intrigues me because I have once had an experience that i can only describe by using the words 'I saw a ghost' I would be interested in peoples on thoughts on what I saw.
It was on a paranormal investigation in York Railway museum . I decided of my own volition to wander off on my own. No-one asked me to or could have predicted I would do so. I walked away from the group and in the distance I saw a figure and the phrase that crossed my mind was ' Thats a spooky looking mannequin.....I don;t think i want to go any closer' So I turned round and walked back to where the rest of the group were conducting a vigil. A few minutes later the whole group was waling back the way I had walked.......and that is when I realised there was no mannequin there. At that pint I freaked a bit and told the rest of the group what I had seen......which was a woman in victorian dress. She was standing outside the royal train that had been used by Queen Victoria.....something I was unaware of.
I have tried to debunk this every which way, and cannot....and I am highly sceptical of paranormal phenomena The experience was VERY real. What fascinates me is this... if someone else had walked with me would they have seen her...?
