The 'it floats ivory soap ghost story' is quite an enigma. Ivory soap is famous for floating because it has a relatively low density. But in a ghost story context, one could imagine a scenario in a haunted mansion. There was a bathroom where an old Ivory soap bar had been left for years. A new owner moves in and starts experiencing strange things. At night, they hear noises coming from the bathroom. When they enter, they see the Ivory soap floating in the sink. They start to believe that a ghost from the past, who might have had a connection to that soap, perhaps it was their favorite soap when they were alive, is now causing it to float as a way of making their presence known.
