Clouding the waters even further, many ghost hunters and theologians have differing opinions on the nature of ghosts. Some believe that they are the souls of those who are somehow trapped here on earth and have yet to “cross over.” Others believe that ghosts are demons that appear to the living to sow confusion and religious doubt. Yet others believe that ghosts are naturally occurring ripples of strong emotions echoing from dimensions that intersect our own.One theory—the one I believe to be true—is that these locations or objects absorbed the psychic impressions of a person in the same way a room absorbs strong odors such as cigarette smoke. Those impressions linger long after the person has passed away, but are really nothing more than an echo of a strong emotional imprint.The other type of ghost—lost souls—are spirits whose mortal remains have expired but whose immortal souls have not passed on to the “undiscovered country”, the “next life”, “heaven”, or whatever you prefer to call it. Usually, they stay behind because of unfinished business.Commonly believed to be the disembodied spirit of a dead person or animal.Some assert that they are the lost souls of those who are somehow trapped here on Earth and have yet to “cross over” because they have not realized they are dead or due to an untimely death. Some religious experts believe that ghosts are demons that appear to the living in an effort to confuse and create doubt in an individual’s faith. Yet others believe that ghosts are naturally occurring echoes of strong emotions “recorded” in another dimension that intersects with our own.Ghost Lost Soul: Lost souls are the spirits of those who die but are unable or unwilling to leave our plane of existence—usually because of some unfinished business, but in rare instances because of outside intervention.“Lost soul” is an inherited template that can be added to any recently deceased creature with Intelligence of 3 or greater. Lost souls manifest themselves in one of four classifications depending on the amount of their spiritual energy (as determined by hit dice, below) at the time of death. Manifestation of the last category, dominating spirit, requires additional circumstances as noted in the description.Manifestation (species) Initial HDLesser manifestation 1-2Poltergeist 3-4ABE 5-6Phantom 7+Dominating Spirit* 7+Ghost Lost Soul Lesser Manifestation: ?Ghost Lost Soul Poltergeist: ?Ghost Lost Soul Atmospheric Balls of Energy: ?Ghost Lost Soul Phantom: ?Ghost Lost Soul Dominating Spirit: A dominating spirit is the lost soul of someone corrupted by great and infernal powers.
