Dot may find communication with the ghosts difficult, but not impossible. Verbal will be a big challenge, due to audible distortions between spectral mouth to mortal ear; a bit like playing Telephone between a line of fifty people across a football field. Words become lost, muffled, or "glitched", so to speak. Text will be a little easier, albeit with similar complications thanks to technology or written language barriers, as well as frankly terrible handwriting. Hand-eye coordination is difficult when you have neither!
Should she be able to overcome these obstacles, there are a number of things she could learn from them. Some may be more elusive than others, some will be forthcoming with information about their past. Some are just straight-up lying or deceiving her; there are people of all sorts in the world after all, both living or dead. When inquiring about their deaths, from one she might receive a gruesome tale of death via an industrial accident at the factory, while another might be horrified to be told that they may have died at all! Many of these "ghosts" are simply acting out their daily lives with no interaction with the physical world, so to them, it is a Sixth Sense situation: they're doing just fine, so hearing that they've died would be quite a shock. Go nuts and get creative with it as you please.
Also, since some of these spectrals are incoming 4th wall visitors: if you and another 4th wall player choose, feel free to have a conversation with one in ghost form before the shift from spectral to physical occurs once the 4th wall event goes live, if that might make for a more interesting thread!
