The Ghost Zone: Also referred to as the Infinite Realms. A parallel dimension, or rather collection of pocket dimensions, that coexists with the Earth of Danny's world. All ecto-plasmic entities, or 'ghosts' resided here. It is essentially the Spirit Realm, or Afterlife, although not all inhabitants were originally of the living. (Such as primordial entities.) It is divided up into several autonomous sections, with some parts reflecting the various mythologies and religions of the living world.
Ghosts: The inhabitants of the Infinite Realms. While initially believed to consist entirely of the disembodied spirits of deceased humans, or "manifestations of ectoplasmic energy imprinted upon post-human consciousness", shades that were mere echoes of their living selves, Danny quickly discovers through his adventures that this is not the case. While there are, in fact, many that were once living humans — many more are mythical beings of legend or primordial entities that preside over certain aspects of reality.
The Ancients: Powerful and ancient ghosts that ensure cosmic balance between the two worlds. A subset of this group are beings such as the Observants who preside over all events and ensure that all timelines run their course. Clockwork is an entity related to the Observants that actively ensures that none of the timelines collapse, and that the primary one remains on the most optimal path.
Ectoplasm: What ghosts are made of. It is both their blood and flesh.
Ghost Core: The center of a Ghost's being, which functions similar to important organs. The consciousness is stored here. So long as this remains intact, the physical form can still be saved after receiving drastic damage. Damage to the core affects a Ghost's psychological and physical stats accordingly. They can occasionally be classified by elemental affinities. Danny's is an example of a mostly "Ice" aligned core.
Half-ghost: Colloquially, "halfa", or "liminal". Humans whose genetic structure has been drastically changed after being exposed to intense amount of ectoplasmic energy. Half-ghosts have the ability to change between human and ghost forms at will, theoretically existing in state between life and death, possessing the same supernatural powers that ghosts have. Though more have existed temporarily, there are currently only three known half-ghosts in existence: Danny, his clone "Dani" (or "Ellie", as it's easier to differentiate with), and Vlad Masters.
