My use of the word ghost was focused on this part here:

Quote:
Frodo felt that he was in a timeless land that did not fade or change or fall into forgetfulness. When he had gone and passed again into the outer world, still Frodo the wanderer from the Shire would walk there, upon the grass among elanor and niphredil in fair Lothlorien.
This strikes me more that "time is translucent" there, rather than that the place is haunted so to speak. I don't imagine Aragorn's spirit going from Gondor to Cerin Amroth and waiting for her. What I do imagine, is that Arwen might return there hoping for a glimpse through the fabric of time-- like Aragorn had as he held the flower, and said "Arwen Vanimelda, Namarie." Perhaps the word "ghost" has too many applications. A rend (or transparency, better) in the fabric of time is more what i had in mind.
