Ghosts are the wandering remnants of intelligent dead creatures (and dwarves). They have a chance of appearing if corpses are not properly Template:L or Template:L. They haunt their best friends and follow them around on the same tile, and may linger around areas they frequented in life. Even babies can become ghosts and there are currentv31.18 reports that dwarves can grow up while dead and even die of old age.
