:A ghost-like event != Ghost of Halo. A Ghost of Halo is a glitched player model with behaviors, no gamertag, etc.. "Ghostly" phenomena are the weird, seemingly-homicidal glitches like falling Mongooses that materialize out of thin air. "Ghostly" phenomena, though eerie, are not Ghosts of Halo. | :A ghost-like event != Ghost of Halo. A Ghost of Halo is a glitched player model with behaviors, no gamertag, etc..

:This article is about Ghosts of Halo. Given that there is a logical association between the two (both appear to be "homicidal"), it would be fitting to have ''one'' section in this article devoted to ghostly phenomena. However, the section should be kept small. If enough ghostly events can be discovered ''and reliably cited in an article'' (e.x. YouTube videos, File Share items) -- and the two of you make it sound like there's plenty of material -- then I would support creating a new article for ghostly phenomena, and connecting it to this one using a brief summary and a <code>Template:Main|Main</code>. But either way, Ghost-like Phenomena are ''at best'' only loosely related to Ghosts of Halo, so in the Ghosts of Halo article, they should not be covered extensively. Again, if there is extensive knowledge or documentation on Ghost-like Phenomena, then they should get their own article. | :This article is about Ghosts of Halo.

:And as for the alteration of the classification, I altered it to improve factual accuracy, which is the focus and goal of this, and most other, wikis. As I just said, I'll happily add some coverage of ghostly occurrences (like falling Mongooses and source-less Wraith mortars) to the article. However, such occurrences should not be called classes, classifications, categories, types, subtypes, permutations, variations, etc., of Ghosts of Halo, because they are not Ghosts of Halo at all. | :And as for the alteration of the classification, I altered it to improve factual accuracy, which is the focus and goal of this, and most other, wikis.

I was just messing around on Sandtrap. I was the only one in the game, but I suddenly heard a grenade explode; I was in Edit Mode, so I couldn't have thrown it. So I rushed over to where it exploded, and I saw an orange Spartan sliding around; he was moving very fast, even though I had set the movement speed to normal. | I was just messing around on Sandtrap.

I saved the film and got off the 360 for a little while. Later that day, I got my friends on Xbox Live and tried to show them the film, but... it was gone!

It appeared to only have a Spartan Laser. It had no emblem, but it had regular Mark VI armor. It behaved the same way the Blackout ghost did. | It appeared to only have a Spartan Laser. It had no emblem, but it had regular Mark VI armor. It behaved the same way the Blackout ghost did. | ||

It behaves like it's on a one-man team -- even during Team Slayer games. It kills you the moment it sees you. On a side note, I think all Ghosts of Halo are actually the same Ghost, because they are ''functionally'' identical -- you can't attach the camera to them, they lack a gamertag, etc. It also didn't show up on the Motion Tracker. | It behaves like it's on a one-man team -- even during Team Slayer games.

When the ghost appeared, a weird sound played; it sounded a bit like "Play this backwards," so I did, and it sounded like he was talking to god! A similar occurrence is documented in a YouTube video titled "halo 3 scary as hell". | When the ghost appeared, a weird sound played; it sounded a bit like "Play this backwards," so I did, and it sounded like he was talking to god!
