    Explain to me how the only sense ghosts don’t have is taste, and maybe feeling? They can see you, hear you, and smell you, but they can never taste you.

      FYI, ghosts are not real, and consequently have no senses. Ghosts however are useful fictional elements, and thus can be or do anything the author wishes.

      I feel like touch. Can’t taste without it touching the tongue. And sure, we can say smell is tied to that and whatnot, but I think my brain can accept the whole act of contact.

        Either the ghost is positioning her hand in the right spot to appear as if she’s touching her, or she can touch her and it doesn’t make much sense that she can’t taste as well.
