Plenty of people were beating around the general correct area of yesterday’s HaiTaku, but it was thehasbrogamer who was first to totally get it properly right — well done!
I think it might be time for me to put on the old haiku hat! It’s been a while.
Here goes…
In this empty shell
The lightning strikes more than twice
Ghosts in the machine
Good luck everyone!

Ghost in the Shell.
Agreed
Castlevania
Magic Land Dizzy?
Bioshock 2?
Metal gear solid 2? Big shell, raiden, dunno about the ghosts part though…
StarCraft!
A Zealot – killed and placed in to a dragoon (empty shell), giving him a second life (lightning (psionic power) strikes twice), as a ghost in a machine :P.
Probably not what you were thinking but I think it fits well.
edit – bah, “more than twice”. Definitely wrong.
Ghouls & Ghosts / Ghost and Goblins?
Deus ex
Return of the Jedi
Luigi’s Mansion 2
a.k.a. Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon
Edit: It says “MORE THAN twice.” Less confident in my guess now…
My first thought is Pokemon.
Or maybe Another World?
Final Fantasy X
The lightning dodging game
The empty shell of Sin
The fayth are arguably ghosts in the machine (alternatively, all the dead characters who fade into nothingness at the end are even mroe obviously ghosts in the machine).
Dues Ex?
