I like your concept of ghosts as memories. When I think ghosts, I think an accumulation of memories that repeat themselves. In this regard, they could take any shape. A nebulous image is plausible if believed to be there.
The kind of ghosts, as the subject of myth, are the continued memories that someone has have after death, since thoughts do not take physical form. What you seem to be describing; though, is the sensation of feeling like a ghost.
Photographs of childhood hold ghostly qualities because it's hard to recognize yourself like you were before. Everything that happens before you becomes a ghostly quality in the future because you feel so distant from what you were before. You are a new person every second, straying further and further from what you were originally.
If you feel like you were always the same, you wouldn't be concerned with the idea of ghosts. That kind of thought process often correlates with people becoming ghosts; they don't recognize life ever ending.
