Soul and atma are similar. But they are from different languages, so need to see context in which they are used,
Ghost is usually when a soul has left previous gross body but has not acquired a new gross body.
Spirit is very generic, usage varies

thanks prabhu
I heard from a leacture that Soul atma is divine. How is Ghost being a soul not spiritual?
is ghost a different type of soul ?

In pure state atma is divine.
How is Ghost being a soul not spiritual?
All living beings in this material world are souls covered with subtle body and gross body.
Gross body is made of 5 gross material elements - earth , water , fire, air ,ether
Subtle body is made of 3 suble material elements - mind, intelligence, ego
Most living beings - trees, insects, fish, snakes, birds, dogs humans etc have goss and suble bodies. So it is combination of spiritual soul and material bodies.
All living beings in this world are combination of material and spiritual elements.
So ghosts are also spiritual soul but with subtle body but hankering for material body.
Krsna is purely spiritual personality.
Highest goal of human life is to attain pure spiritual state and serve Sri Krsna who is also pure spiritual always.
is ghost a different type of soul ?
Composition of soul is same. But conditioning of souls are different.

Thank you prabhu ji
