The Holy Spirit, third in the Trinity, our Comforter, our guide, our help here on earth, is just that, a Spirit...not a ghost...A ghost is defined as the soul of a dead person. A spirit however, is defined as a supernatural, incorporeal being, esp. one inhabiting a place, object, etc., or having a particular character; the divine influence as an agency working in the human heart; a divine, inspiring, or animating being or influence. The Holy Spirit is very much alive and not dead!
"Catching the Holy Ghost"-- First of all, He is not a ball or a cold and is not "caught". One does not catch the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives in and dwells inside of those who are born again, He is The Gift and is a very necessary part of the Salvation Package. He allows and causes those who He resides in to feel inexplicable and overwhelming feelings and sentiments of gratitude, adoration, and exuberant praise, which in turn causes us to express and release that energy in the form of praise, worship, dancing, clapping, shouting, running, jumping, etc!
