There are two very different issues concerning interest in mysteries and actually being able to help.
The 'spooky' associations of ghosts and/or so-called ghost hunting seems to attract certain individuals. For a short time I wondered about what ghosts were (along with a whole bunch of other stuff) but my interest quickly waned as I began to appreciate their place on the life/death/afterlife spectrum.
What does seem to be a reported feature of ghosts is that they're unable to be interacted with. It would be debatable, then, that any attempt to help could be successful.
Where communication/interaction has been reported it's not in connection with a ghost....
I've talked to several.
You've talked to several what? And what did they say in reply?

Ghosts.
And what did they say in reply?
They are individuals. Would this have any meaning out of context?
My comment was in reply to yours that ghosts are unable to be interacted with.
Of course they are discarnate individuals and out of context it would mean little but in the current one it raises further questions. Did you see them as ghosts? If so, why?
