Cool funny name for a ghost?

Hey guys. So i've been brainstorming for a few days now but can't come up with a nice word for a ghost. I'm writing a play and there is a ghost involved (a guy who died tragically and roams around in his soul form, you get the jist). So this guy is called ghost by another person ("You're a Ghost") to which he replies, "I like to call myself XXXX"

I need the XXXX. This word should be more like a job title, a definition of what he his, but not ghost, soul. Use words like ethereal, reincarnation, realm stuck, whatever. Be cool, be creative, don't get limited by any realm of words, (pun intended (; )

Help me out guys please. This play is stuck on a word :p

Update:

A really good reply from Paul: anthropomorphic projection of residual psychic energy

This is the coolest. That is awesome brother. Use this as a reference people.

    Perhaps you could subvert it and just have him say "I prefer to think of myself as more of a Colin". The more mundane his name the better this'll work. ;0)

    Oooor, how about "I prefer anthropomorphic projection of residual psychic energy"?

    Edit: Thanks; when can I expect my royalties? :P
