v0.31 Talk:Ghost
Ghost Claiming Coffins
There is a ghost in my fortress (restless haunt from a merchant who fell into a river) who appears to be claiming coffins on his own and automatically designating a room from them. If I free the tomb, he instantly makes another into a room. Don't really have a problem with this, except that I think it's giving my baron the "was utterly traumatized by a lesser's pretentious burial arrangements" thought. Anybody else have this issue? --Octorok 00:40, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Scared to death
Can ghosts still scare people to death? I generally don't leave corpses around to find out ;)
-yes they do. Had my first incident with a ghost yesterday and a dwarf got scared to death. (31.18)
besides: He wasn't called a murderous Ghost or anything like that. Just "ghostly hunter" (hunting was his profession in life). -Zaibusa

I would love to read here, what ghosts actually DO! Do they harm our dorfs, are they just annoying? Please add to it :) --Lesconrads 17:21, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Ghost Types
I had a dwarf go insane after a mood, melancholy to be specific. He can back as a moaning spirit. Has anyone noticed Melancholy dwarfs turning into moaning ghosts? Possible that's one cause for that kind of ghost. Thematically it would make sense.--Khelek 04:43, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
I had an Angry ghost come a dead dwarf who had been ecstatic but died in battle. 99.111.152.215 00:42, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
Babies won't become ghosts
A child and a baby died in my danger room (!!SCIENCE!!). The child came back as a ghost, while the baby stayed dead. --Blur 10:29, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Not only can babies become ghosts, they can grow up while dead! Uristocrat 02:11, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
