Can the ghosts in Harry Potter interact with each other? I think I remember some games they played that indicated they were able to have physical contact. Is that right? Can they interact with each other on a physical level? Or would they just pass through each other?

http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Headless_Hunt_games lists 4 games from the Headless Hunt in CoS:
Head Hockey
Head Polo
Horseback Head-Juggling
Headless Bowling
While the first 3 have no details of them, sounds like to make the game work you HAVE to have inter-ghost contacts. As for Bowling, even mortals can play, presumably (it's 100% true in a computer game, but can only be inferred from a book):
Sir Patrick: "So, Harry me lad, care for a little headless bowling?"
Harry: "I'm not sure. What is it?"
Sir Patrick: "Just take your head off... not yours, we'll find one for you to borrow... roll it down the alley, and knock over the pins."

1I'm writing this from the future, where the Harry Potter wiki is no longer accessible. Any chance you could include a little more detail so we know what you're referring to? – Tango Feb 14 '12 at 2:32

@Tango - what's this, hassle DVK mid-writing-answer day today? This is the THIRD time people criticize my answer before reading the finalized version! – DVK-on-Ahch-To Feb 14 '12 at 2:36

Only the third time? We really were hoping to do more than that - but now that you're on to us, there's no point to it! – Tango Feb 14 '12 at 2:42
