Can you help me with this question re Ghosts

If ghosts can walk through walls, why do they not fall through the floor?

LOL!

They (supposedly - I do not believe they exist really) move along what were familiar routes for their living, corporeal form. So if someone goes and moves a doorway, the ghost disappears at the door's original location now solid wall, or appears in the room from that point. Floors are normally left on their original levels.

There is a ghost story about a stretch of ancient road somewhere in England, I forget where, but one of many first established by the Romans. 'Tis said (so must be true) that this particular part is haunted by a unit of Roman troops apparently wading waist-deep through the ground. They are "really" marching along their original road surface, which became buried over the time since to that depth. So 'tis said... never let reality obstruct a good story!
