So if this guy is a ghost... why does he look like this? What the fuck did he look like when he was alive?

Isn't it obvious who he's based on?
Sebastian Martinez
In Ghostbusters, "ghosts" don't have to have been alive. They're just entities that live on another plane of existence. It's probably most implied that only the humanoid ghosts were once alive.
Jaxon Williams
Where did they say that? I mean sure Zuul and Vigo were gods but they only raised the dead.
Charles Diaz
It doesn't specifically say that, but Gozer, The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and even in the cartoon there's entities like the Boogeyman that are made up of the same stuff as ghosts are, but they are clearly not deceased humans. They're specifically extradimensional entities so it's possible that other "ghosts" you see are just lesser extradimensional entities that are able to interact with the human world.

Gozer is a sumerian god.
Librarian was once a librarian.
Vigo was a cultist serial killer
Jack Evans
Many of the ghosts have a twisted form. I like to think that they slowly mutate as their sense of self image changes and they forget what they used to look like.
Gozer was very old and powerful and could change form at will.
Chase Reed

A disembodied head of a fat guy??
Gabriel Mitchell
Think of GB ghosts as Warhammer 40k daemons.
Slimer is a psychic echo, probably resulting from some senseless batshit crazy act of gluttony performed in the Segway hotel.
Seriously, Dan Abnett even ripped off the movie while conceiving one of Ravenor's books plot. Namely the whole "someone built a building (a whole town in the novels) to focus psychic energy, open a warp rift and yank some warp horrors out of it.
