Supposing it's made of energy could explain the fact that ghosts may pass through walls, but most certainly, they couldn't walk. And if a ghost could walk through walls, this means it could also pass through the floor. If a ghost were able to stay on the floor without passing through it, then it would have to apply a force to the floor, whose equal reaction should keep her on the floor. Pure energy couldn't do that, so either way, a ghost can do both things, stand or walk and pass through walls.
Matter is energy. At a lower vibrational rate. Physics doesn't allow for the existence of ghosts, but quantum physics and the system of mechanics structured by the quantum paradox does indeed allow for spirits to exist. It's likely that ghosts don't walk on the floor, but appear as they want to by somehow tapping into the living consciousness of the observer, and causing them to be seen as they were, or how they want to be seen.
Quantum Physics allows for the conscious observer to exist, and create the reality that surrounds them. When the physical body transitions to a state where it no longer functions, the consciousnesses (or soul), is free to do a number of things.
It can pass on to another plane of existence, most likely a spiritual realm. This may be referred to as, Nirvana, Heaven, Hell, etc. The data stream that made up the live mind can create it's own afterlife as well.
It can remain near the Earth plane, existing in locations that held some pretty heavy emotions. Most emotion equated with negative feelings, like anger, addiction, jealousy, pain, etc. Areas where physical violence, or a negative event happened are usually hot-spots for spirits to linger. This is why historical places are usually referred to as "haunted." The possibilities of tortured consciousness' being tied to physical locations due to some event in their life, is a common theme amongst hauntings.
It can pass on to something that some spiritual circles refer to as the "astral plane." An area of pure thought, and all forms of consciousness.
So there's different options for a spirit. Most of the hauntings you hear about are related to suicides, or murders, etc.
I think you're dead on with the sound. EVP's, and specific microphones have been known to pick up interesting messages. They're still garbled, because the spirit is trying to communicate across of chasm of dimensions, but messages can be cleared up. It's pretty interesting stuff.
