Her ex-boy friend, Stuart, lives above her apartment and finds this space near the Brooklyn Bridge where there is a gap in time. He goes back to the eighteen hundreds and takes pictures of the place. Leopold, a man living in the 1870’s, was puzzled by Stuart’s tiny camera and decides to follow him and they both ended up in this century. Leopold is clueless about his new surroundings.

Can ghosts be in the same place but in a different time?
For example: In the movie Kate and Leopold, near the end when she jumps off the bridge to go into his time, and the people in her time are all in the same building, but different dimensions. Could this be what paranormal activity really is? Just people from an earlier time in the same place as people in our time? And what would you call it?
yes

Depending on what you would believe in with string theory and an odd theory with Deja Vu.
One theory with Deja Vu expresses that the memories you are encountering are from another time/dimension that has already occurred. The memory transfer is from electrons that bounce between dimesions.

There is a theory about that along those very same lines. That some ghosts and such may be some kind of tear in the space time continuum, allowing people a momentary glimpse into the past, or future, depending on where you are. There are even some stories from past and present that seem to verify it.

no they are the souls of dead people forced to roam earth until judgement day because they died prematurely or they have unfinished business. im sorry to burst your bubble but that is the truth.

Straight Answer: there are no ghosts.
Long Answer: from my experience, what we perceive as ghosts is some kind of important information stored in space-time. Very strong emotional outputs may mark the space-time in a way that some people can ‘tune’ to it later. That is why some ghosts manifest within a small radius or are associated with objects and places, because the place is marked.
The way that people ‘tune’ to that happening varies a lot, and the perception of the same event also varies a lot from person to person.
So, in my view, what is there aren’t souls, but some kind of ‘universal memory’ of living beings.

No.
I appreciate the tricks Hollywood plays in order to make happy endings but time travel is not possible. 2+2 still equals 4 to a ghost as well.
Time is a measure of change that occurs as a result of the direct correlation between a place and an action. The action of sitting, standing and then sitting again can be understood as 3 separate periods of time.
Because time is correlated between place and action, what exists as ‘real’ or measured by time in one instance cannot then be measured or measure time in another instance. 1+1 cannot equal both 2 and 3 and you cannot be, or travel to, a place that you were never in. To do so creates an alternate dimension in order to allow such an occurrence (the tv show Sliders was very good regarding this.) However, these dimensions are really offshoots of the original time line and thus have no affect on it whatsoever. If you save your baby brother from drowning in an alternate dimension, he’s still dead in the real time you left.
How movies usually get around this (The Lake House and Hallmark’s The Love Letter spring most readily to mind) is that the person in the past re-incarnates or moves forward in time in order to be with the person. I haven’t seen the movie but I can tell you that Kate didn’t ‘travel’ back in time in order to be with Leopold. My guess is that Kate, in a past incarnation, met with Leopold after her last ‘present’ communication with him while current Kate committed suicide in order to be with the ‘dead’ version of Leopold. I know that’s a mouthful to say and wrap your brain around but, strictly speaking, they’re both dead now.

Ghosts are not affected by time like we are on Earth. That is why some places are haunted for hundreds or thousands of years after they died.
