The opening scene with Captain Greene was shot two weeks after principal filming wrapped. It was added to immediately establish that Melinda sees all ghosts, not just scary ones.
The pilot establishes the rules of the universe. Ghosts stay behind because of unfinished business, guilt, or denial. They are often surrounded by "dregs" or shadows. The act of crossing over is portrayed not as a religious judgment, but as a release from suffering.
