usage
Two distinct meanings, decided by context. (1) figurative: 'to pull dirty tricks behind the scenes' - common in 暗中做鬼 ('cheat in secret') or 做鬼脸 (pull a funny face). (2) literal: 'to become a ghost' - typically in melodramatic vows like 做鬼也不放过你 ('I'll come back as a ghost and won't let you off').
