I was wondering where I could find a ghost classification system based on the movies or comics?

My associate Vincent and Mr. G.B.V.A. would have your answer. Search around at the Ghostbusters RPG board to answer your question.

If I may, this is GBI's official classification system. If I forgot a couple...feel free to add them in.:
CLASS I - This type of specter is defined as an undeveloped form, insubstantial and difficult to see. The Class I's interaction with the physical environment is limited and enigmatic (i.e. spectral lights, voices, sounds).
CLASS II - A ghost that begins to have actual visible characteristics and can physically manipulate things (i.e. poltergeist). Class II forms tend to be vague and inconsistent, like hands or a face just floating there.
CLASS III - When a ghost begins to take an actual distinct human form (i.e. face, torso, arms) it's classified as a Class III. III's can often change their forms as well.
CLASS IV - When investigation reveals the former identity of a Class III ghost, it is reclassified as a Class IV. Usually indistinct from the chest down.
CLASS V- An ectoplasmic manifestation of definite but non-human form. Theory supposes that Class V's are formed from emotionally-charged events or locations.
CLASS VI - A non-human "animal" ghost.
CLASS VII- A Metaspecter with extra-dimensional powers far beyond human ken. Powers often include the ability to change form at will, dematerialize objects, summon pests, or possess people and animals just to name a few.
VAPOR - term used to describe any entity that can pass through walls and other physical objects.
FOCUSED - a ghost that is said to be "focused" is unable to leave the area or building where it first appears.
REPEATER - a ghost that will continue to return until the source of the PKE that summons it is discovered.

Vincent wasn't there a classification system that had ten classes of ghost entities?

RGB had a ghost classification system that used the numeral as a "power level." I think it's stupid.
I like numbers being used as a "Type" instead.

So, Vince, that would make the Bogeyman a Metaspector, would it not? Y'know, a Class VII, full corporeal repeating entity.

Yes, DrkMagician (a Yu-Gi-oh! monster, correct?)
You are correct in classifying the bogeyman.

What scares me, Professor Belmont, is that I actually remembered it. The "professor" is meant as a respected title. And yes, I have chosen a Yu-Gi-Oh! monster as my name. I was gonna call my self a Bogeyman title, but all the good ones were taken. Imagine that.
