I would like to add on a few assumptions that may/may not clarify some fans' doubts:

1) Douglas was eating pineal glands of humans to tap into their souls and learn about the present. Remember he was in a freaking tank for 70 long years. To survive in the present, he needs to understand the recent happenings and trends. What better way than to tap into the pineal gland, which is considered the "principal seat of the soul". Maybe he ate the ghost riders pineal gland to absorb their powers and those of humans to simply rejuvenate himself and get himself updated to adapt to the present (This might explain how he is able to get a job as a teacher in Beacon hills)

2) The ghost riders may be just cursed humans with superpowers limited to the "Hunt" (For instance, they have whips and pistols to capture and erase people from history, but lack superstrength or immortality). This may explain why ordinary werewolves were able to beat them. They were termed "Unstoppable" simply because A) They could shoot or whip persons before they attacked and erased them from memory. Nobody would fight the GRs back or B) People were too overawed by the GRs that they simply surrendered.
