I think a ghost, if able to assume a truly humanoid apparition, will manifest as whatever the person was in life. However, I think most ghosts just do little things that make noises or subtly influence objects or events. You don't usually even see them physically manifest. And IF you do, I think they more likely manifest as a mist or a glowing blotch or a shadow. There may be different ways for them do so. After all, who hasn't heard of EVP (electronic voice phenomena)? Just like in life their may be different ways to "get the job done", the same may apply to spirits. Perhaps different ones have varying abilities and preferences.
One of my wife's aunts claimed that it's actually very taxing and difficult for ghosts to manifest in the material world. It takes a lot out of them and eventually they tire and have to return to their normal state.
I think mostly ghosts just manifest in subtle ways that don't even include a visual physical manifestation although I think it does happen.
Perhaps the membrane between our world and their is much like the skin on the surface of water. From underneath the water you see blurry shapes moving. From above the water you see a reflection of the sky. But if conditions are just right you can see through from both sides with more clarity. This may be what happens when ghosts can manifest. Some conditions are just right and the spirit exploits it in whatever way they can.
