Can a ghost be grappled by BGH when it is manifesting? The description of Incorporeal Subtype in the MM says that force effects can affect those types of creatures, but then goes on to say they can't be grappled. Is BGH an exception to that?

Would BGH work any differently if the ghost were still on the ethereal plane (assuming the caster could see the ghost via See Invisiblity)?

BGH can grapple incorporeal creatures as it is a force effect.
