I don't think that any explanation is needed. While in traditional European folklore (I assume same applies to American folklore too, but I'm not 100% certain) ghosts appear like they were when they died (often showing the wounds etc. which killed them) in modern popular culture ghosts can sometimes change their appearance at will. Most of those works don't bother to explain it either, but just assume that ghosts can control their ethereal form.
