Question

There is some kind of ghostly essence of who you are sitting in the chair.     Is ghostly esscence a kind of commone expression ?  What does it mean in this sentence ?

Answer

I think you mean to say there’s a ghostly presence. “I feel a ghostly presence in the room. Is that you, Uncle Marty, have you come to speak with us?)”
I’ve never heard of a ghostly essence.

Answer

Thanks so much Abigail for your detailed explanation and examples.

Answer

"Ghostly essence" refers to the feeling that there may be a spirit or ghost present, or a strong memory that feels like it's somehow happening in the present. It is kind of a feeling more than something tangible. In this case, if there was a "ghostly essence of you", it may mean that it feels as if "you" should be sitting in the chair or are sitting in the chair. It feels as if "your" spirit is connected to the chair.
