This LOST EXPLAINED FAQ video explores the numerous human apparitions that appear on the island throughout the show, and explains who was an actual ghost; which ones were smoke monster manifestations or flat-out hallucinations; and which appearances were real living people. We shall also establish a rule of thumb to help you decipher between the different apparitions. It's simpler than you think!

Along the way we shall answer many additional questions such as: can the Man in Black appear as living people? Why did Ghost Jacob appear at different ages to the Man in Black? Was Jack Shepherd secretly psychic? Does the flash sideways come before or after ghosts visit with Hurley? Plus, many more!
