"ghost" is sometimes used to mean "spirit" or "soul", and according to that point of view, we all carry with us an incorporated soul/ghost. Maybe the OP's question arose from a reading of something written from that viewpoint.

It is also interesting as a very literal use of "incorporate", where the "corp" part literally refers to a body.
