Ghosts have been shown to be able to ignore the physical constraints of a building, such as the flooring and walls, in order to move about unimpeded. This could explain why they are not seen to fall through floors if they can pass through walls and descend stairs. It could also be that ghosts adhere to some other phenomenon that protects them from damage caused by physically traversing solid matter.

Ghosts cannot pass through matter, such as walls and floors, that has a physical form. As a consequence, if they want to move between two locations which have solid surfaces separating them, they must find an invisible or ethereal pathway or climb up or down through the air like a puff of smoke. Otherwise they will fall right through and out the other side!
