* In Christian art and iconography, a soul at the moment of death or just afterwards is usually depicted in roughly the form of a child or a teenager, even if the person is old. The righteous souls on Abraham's bosom in the Orthodox icon of the Last Judgment are also given a very youthful appearance.

Souls. Nobody knows anything about them, or if they're even real. Most religions and even non-religious spiritual groups have a concept for it. Heck, the fact that they're even called "spiritual" means dealing with the idea of a living essence within humans that carries on after the human dies. But either way, no one truly knows anything about souls, and that means [[OurSpiritsAreDifferent writers are free to write the rules of souls and spirits however they darn well please]].

* ''Series/TheHauntingOfHillHouse'': Some of the ghosts in the titular Hill House do this. Child and young adult ghosts remain the same age, but two elderly characters revert to their younger selves as ghosts. [[spoiler:Mrs. Dudley is one of them, as she reverts to the age she was when she lost her daughter Abigail, and it's implied her husband will follow suit when his time comes. Hugh Crane does the same thing, reverting to the age he was when his wife Olivia succumbed to the influence of the House and died.]]
