Ghosts are the lingering spirits of the deceased. Ghosts typically exist where the deceased have unfinished business in the world of the living, or died under unusual circumstances. They are often translucent and pale, although some retain an appearance closer to their original. Ghosts are incorporeal beings, capable of moving through solid objects. Depending on the variety, they can only be harmed by silver, magic or holy objects and scripture. They are not necessarily hostile, and some are not even aware of their state. Ghosts can be contacted or summoned through necromancy.
