** The ghost thing only applies to werewolves who still have a conscience.

** Its possible we only see the ghosts of people Andy killed because, well, he's the central character. As for Claude, he's a murderous asshole. He probably does have hundreds of ghosts bugging him 24/7, he just doesn't care and ignores their pleas. Heck, its possible that at some point the ghosts just gave up and left him alone.

* The police find Andy in a graveyard with the blood of a cop and a tourist all over him and in his mouth. How is he not arrested up by the police when he tries to fly out of Paris? Werewolf or not, the facts are immutable. He ate two people and crushed a dog.

So, how the hell do ghosts supposedly work in the film's universe? From what I can tell, anyone who gets killed by a werewolf becomes a ghost (sometimes a vengeful ghost, as in [[JerkassWoobie Amy's]] case). However, if this is so, why doesn't Claude (who presumably has killed hundreds of people) have tons of ghosts bothering him? Also even weirder; apparently if the guy who made you a werewolf dies, not only do you [[NoOntologicalInertia turn back into a human]], but any ghosts of people you killed while you were a werewolf disappear as well (as Amy disappears after Claude dies). So, what's the deal? The whole thing seems like one giant VoodooShark.

* The trickle-down effect of everyone down the line being cured and/or put to rest if the one responsible is killed is nothing new in fiction. Werewolf A creates Werewolf B, Werewolf B kills Werewolf A, so Werewolf B and the ghosts killed by ''either'' werewolf are freed, since the first werewolf who started the chain is dead. It doesn't make lots of sense from a ''logical'' standpoint, but variants of this series of events have been portrayed in fiction for quite some time.
* As to why Claude evidently doesn't have tons of ghosts following him... that's a pretty good question.
