THE MOB
Ghosts are spirits that wander the planet, seeking places to find a home in. Ghosts usually spawn in groups of 2, and attack you on sight. Ghosts move towards you at the same rate of sprinting. Ghosts burn in daylight, but will flee from the sun.
THE ABILITY
Ghosts can possess almost all of the utility blocks, save cake, doors, signs and beds. Breaking the block will not remove the ghost. When a ghost possesses a furnace, the furnace will breathe fire and spit out anything you put in it. If the ghost possesses a workbench, the tools on the workbench's side will fly towards you at sprinting speed. If a ghost possesses a dispenser with something in it, then it will activate it and make it continuously shoot everything out. If the ghost possessed a chest, the chest will attack you and you won't be able to open it. The way to lure a ghost out of these blocks is to have a snow golem come within a 10x10 area of the block. The ghost will possess the snow golem, and then you just kill it.
THE DROP
Instead of dropping actual items like rotten flesh or bones, the ghost will die and a block of ectoplasm will appear where it died. You can use a shovel to dig up the ectoplasm, which can then be crafted over a bucket to make bucket of ectoplasm, which when poured out, makes a green transparent liquid that flows as fast and as far as water. Ectoplasm in this form glows. You can also use ectoplasm to add 0:30 seconds to any potion. If you have 4 ectoplasm balls, you can craft a glowing ectoplasm block.
Ok, a mob that annoys the eff out of you, then you kill it to get liquid that does what in a potion(invisibility?)? Making a new liquid would take too much, what does ectoplasm mixed with water/lava do? A block out of a liquid goo?

Actually, the invisibility idea sounds pretty good. Why would making a new liquid take too long? it's just neon green water that glows. Mixing with water would probably have the same effect as swamp water and normal water. It just transits through. Lava, though... Perhaps it burns when mixed with lava?
So, this mob, that presumabely spawns from the start of the game like Zombies and Skeletons, will possess things you make that are essential to the game... and you can't get them out.. until you find a relatively rare biome, and a relatively rare block...
And this is a good idea how?
I never said you need to find a rare biome or a rare block. It also spawns in groups of 2 very rarely. Perhaps I should add to the OP an alternative to removing the ghost from the blocks? And maybe it's rare for it to possess a block?

I hope you like this idea.
Thanks for understanding.
