Wendigo: Burned with Fire3. Ghost: Closure of Ghost's Event4. Demon: Banished with Ritual and Salt5. Bloody Mary: Destroyed Focus Item, Body Still Intact - Destroyed by own power6. Doppelganger: Killed with Silver Bullets7. Hook Man - Destroyed All Remains - sowed with Salt/Fire[/sblock]So they've been pretty consistent from what I can tell.  When the remains are available, a ghost/poltergiest/vengeful spirit can be destroyed by sowing the grave with salt and burning the body.  However, when the physical remains aren't around to deal with properly (including the salt), you either have to fulfill whatever cycle of events has kept them on Earth or find a way to destroy them using their own power (or powers of another ghost linked to them).</blockquote>
