Ghosts usually develop powers after their deaths. The rage and anger sometimes fuels their ghostly powers to make them strong. However, if a Ghost was a [[Witch]] or another magical being during their life, they will retain their original powers as well.

Spirit

Grams and Patty as spirits

A Spirit, also known as a Ghost, is what a deceased person's soul becomes when they die, unless that person is reincarnated after death.

Some stay on earth when they are unable to move on to the afterlife past the spiritual plane. Usually this occurs when a person either had unfinished business in life, such as a betrayal of some sort causing their death, or when their death was so quick their mind just simply hasn't accepted it. Of course, sometimes there may be multiple cases, or perhaps even entirely different reasons they are unable to move on.

When a person becomes a ghost they gain the power to phase through objects and beings (though for practical filmmaking reasons, they typically don't fall through floors and such), however their form often varies. They may be transparent and hazy such as in the case of Elias Lundy or corporeal as with Charlene. Some ghosts like Rick and Nathan Lang are transparent but crystal clear, not hazy. Mark Chao, the first ghost encountered in the series, was invisible to everyone except magical beings, but to those he appeared undistinguishable from a live person. In I Dream of Phoebe when Phoebe and Paige became ghosts Chris stated they could haunt anybody they wanted.

In addition to this, some spirits can channel rage or anger into plasma balls and attack their victims with it. This is seen in "Love's a Witch" when Olivia Callaway attacks Richard Montana's father with it.

Ectoplasmic Residue

Residuepotion

Piper sees Paige's blouse glow because of ectoplasmic residue

There is a potion Piper used in "Love's A Witch" that can determine if there is ectoplasmic residue on an object. With the correct ingredients, once the suspected object is dropped within the potion, it will glow white if ectoplasmic residue is present.

Spells

To Summon the Dead

Hear these words,
Hear my cry,
Spirit from the other side,
Come to me,
I summon thee,
Cross now the great divide.

Seance Spell

Beloved unknown Spirit,
We seek your guidance,
We ask that you commune with us
And move among us.
When known, replace "unknown spirit" with name.

To Call for a Spirit

Unknown spirit, we call to thee,
Those who wish to set you free.
Cross on over, so we may help.
Come to us. Reveal yourself.
When known, replace "unknown spirit" with name.

Vanquish

There are several methods to vanquish a ghost.

Spell

The first is in the form of a spell, however one has to be a Ghost or at least on the
spirit plane to make it work:
To Vanquish a Ghost
"Ashes to ashes
Spirit to spirit
Take his soul
Banish this evil."
Used in Season 1, 4 and 5
To vanquish a ghost and return him to his rest

Potion

The second method is to make a potion and pour it over the bones/ashes of the ghost's
remains.
Used in Season 2 and Season 6
To Send An Evil Ghost to Judgment
Banishing a Ghost

Death or Destroying the haunted

Alternatively, if the ghost is haunting to curse someone or something then if one
destroys/kills the object of the curse then the ghost is vanquished.
Used in Season 2
Reckless Abandon
