I just want to go on the record to say that I'm really in favour of the 'force ghost' theory. I saw a nice justification for this on TV Tropes. Basically, the Aura unlocking Pyrrha did on Jaune back in The Emerald Forest, Pt.2 was a full-blown soul bond that physically linked their auras together. Just as Ozpin feared, linking two people's Auras has consequences when one is disembodied. Although Pyrrha is dead, her life essence is anchored to the living world by its bonding to Jaune. So, basically, she becomes his second set of brains and he has access to most if not all of her learned skills. The rest of Team RNJR are wondering how he suddenly became such a badass - He hasn't; it's all Pyrrha's soul, whispering advice to him.

Naturally, Pyrrha, being Pyrrha, is determined that Jaune be happy. She is continually badgering him to act on his attraction to Ruby (who, as we've seen, is growing up to be a spectacular young woman) because she doesn't want him wasting his life trying to be faithful to a ghost whose independent reality from his own psyche is debatable.
