Whats the difference among these words?
Phantom and Ghost seem to be translated always as "fantastma" So I can't really tell the difference. However, "Espíritu" in Spanish is usually related to a ghost, that could be either good or evil, or something holy. While "Fantasma" usually -but not always- has a more scary meaning. "Fantasma" also sounds more childish, so if you talk about Casper you'd refer to him as a ghost, but if you claim to see a dead person, then it's a spirit.
What about phantom then?
