In this paper, we derive the exact cosmological solutions for a number of scenarios where at late stages, the ghost behaves like dark matter , or dark energy. The full soluti ons give valuable information about the non-linear regime beyo nd the asympt otic rst order analysis presented in the literature . The generic feature is that these ghost cosmologies give rise to smooth transitions between radiation dominated phases (or more general power-law expansions) at early epochs and ghost dark matter resp. gho st dar k energy dominate d late epochs. The curre nt age of our universe place s us rig ht at the non-linear transition phase. By studying the evolution backwards in time, we nd that the dominance of the ghost over ordinary baryonic matter and radiative contributions persists back to the earliest times such that the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker geometry is dictated to a good approximation by the ghost alone. We also nd that the Jeans instability occurs in the ghost dark energy scenario at late times, while it is absent in the ghost dark matter scenario.
