In Christianity, the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost) is the Spirit of God.
The meaning of Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost are identical. Holy Ghost was the common name for the Holy Spirit in English prior to the 20th century. It is the name used in the Book of Common Prayer, the Catholic Douay Rheims Bible and the King James Version (KJV), and is still widely used by English speakers whose religious vocabulary is largely derived from the KJV.

They used to argue about how many "angels" could dance on the head of a pin, too.
Lunacy.
Never heard that one before. So how many did they(who ever they is) come up with. As for splitting hairs I don't think so ghost of the graveyard and the God of scripture are not close to the same.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
