History Main / GhostMemory

* Agent Washington from ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' received the memories of the Alpha [=AI=] and its creator/[[BrainUploading template]], [[spoiler:the Director]] via its LivingMemory component, Epsilon.

* Used by Gartlant in ''Anime/SaberMarionetteJ''. Each ''[[ThoseWackyNazis fuhrer]]'' gets the memories of his predecessors impressed on him by a machine. It's not a pleasant process, and turned the current Faust from a normal kid to a vicious bastard who mistreated Tiger, Panther, and Luchs/Lynx from that day forward.
* Chimera Ants in ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' can sometimes recall memories from creatures eaten by their queen, to the point that some of them could be considered {{Reincarnation}}s of them.

* Absorbing people's memories is one side effect of ComicBook/{{Rogue}}'s powers in most ''Comicbook/XMen'' continuities, as well.
* In ''ComicBook/XForce'', [[Characters/MarvelComicsSunspot Sunspot]] is telepathically possessed by the villain Reignfire. Team leader ComicBook/{{Cable}} uses his own telepathy to sever the connection, but in the process leaves some of his memories in Sunspot's head. This teaches Sunspot how to speak Askani, and sometimes he subconsciously acts on the memories that aren't his (such as humming a melody that Cable learned in his youth).

* In the Franchise/DCUniverse, this is how the legacy of the ComicBook/GreatTen's Accomplished Perfect Physician works. Each new holder of the title inherits the collective memories of their predecessors; the current one is the seventeenth, giving him sixteen lifetimes of experience to draw on.

* In ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'', Sonic, Dr. Eggman, Orbot and Cubot retain the memories of the old universe due to being in the epicenter of the final of ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogMegaManWorldsCollide'' and Sonic is able to restore the Freedom Fighters' memories by using NICOLE's energy buildup. However, Eggman points out that the memories of the new universe are asserting themselves and they would lose the memories of the old universe, which has indeed happened.

* In the ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'' AU [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11491965/1/Memories-Of-Others Memories Of Others]], Naruto discovers that by shadow-cloning someone, he can get their experiences once the clones dispel. This lets him overcome his previous ignorance since the person he clones most is the one helping him to learn everything he missed out on.
* In the VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII fanfic, ''[[FanFic/CissneisPath Cissnei's Path]]'', Aerith [[spoiler:gains the memories of all the previous Cetra that visited the Temple of Ancients through the Well of Knowledge. The net result leaves her with centuries worth of her people's heritage and the ability to use magic without materia.]]

* ''Fanfic/TheInfiniteLoops'': At the start of every new GroundhogDayLoop, any Awake looper gets the full memories of their life up to that point. Considering the many weird variant and [[{{Crossover}} Fused]] loops, this is important. People will occasionally have a "stealth loop," where they decide to run through the whole thing on autopilot from their loop memories, as if they weren't Awake.
* ''Fanfic/JauneArcLordOfHunger'': When Jaune received his Force powers from the Mask of Darth Nihilus, he also receives bits of Nihilus's knowledge and memories.

* In the eminently forgettable Ray Liotta film ''Film/{{Unforgettable|1996}}'', a doctor, accused of the murder of his wife, injects himself with her memories.

* A center point in ''Literature/SixChances'' in which the memories, thoughts, and feelings of six very different individuals begin to bleed into one another. As the six individuals are from different countries in a fantastical world that resembles a post-WWI time period, many things come into question such as identity and loyalty.

* Creator/TerryPratchett's ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'':
** ''Literature/AHatFullOfSky'' has the hiver, a creature that inhabits people, drives them mad, and leaves with impressions of them when they die. A hiver inhabits the protagonist, Tiffany. It is eventually driven out, but for a while Tiffany has trouble figuring out who she is. By the next book it's all been settled, except for the memory of this one wizard who stirs every now and again to translate something or randomly exposit. It's not SharingABody or anything like that; he's called "a ghost of a ghost", not self-aware.
** Also, Jeanie, the Nac Mac Feegle's Kelda, is able to access the memories of all Kelda that have been and will be via a ritual.
** The Dis-organizer in ''Literature/{{Jingo}}'' is somehow switched for that of an alternate timeline in which Vimes stays in Ankh-Morpork and is killed by the invading Klatchians.
* In Creator/EEDocSmith's ''[[Literature/SkylarkSeries The Skylark of Space]]'', the heroes befriend an alien race that builds mind-reading machines. They use one of these machines to learn each others' languages. Later, they use one on the brain of a ''dead'' enemy to learn his secrets, effectively gaining the memories of the dead person.
* ''Literature/MalazanBookOfTheFallen'': Apsalar is possessed for a while by Cotillion, the god of assassins, and gains some of his memories along with great skill at knife-fighting.
* Introduced subtly at first, this becomes a major plot point in Creator/PamelaDean's ''Literature/TheSecretCountry'' trilogy.
* ''[[http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/lee_01_11/ Ghostweight]]'', a short sci-fi story by Yoon Ha Lee. A woman plans her RoaringRampageOfRevenge against the mercenary fleet that destroyed her people with the help of one of their 'ghosts' -- it turns out the ghost is not all he appears to be.
* In Creator/RobertWestall's ''Literature/UrnBurial'', the Fefethil war-leader Prepoc's tomb included a 'memory-helmet' which gives it's human discoverer, Ralph Edwards, insights into Prepoc's past life by showing him 'snapshots' of things that had happened in it's owners life.
* The robotic beings in ''Literature/SaturnsChildren'' can obtain the memories of their sibs (other individuals of the same model) by putting in the sib's "soul chip".
* ''[[Literature/TheEchoriumSequence Dark Quetzal]]'': All quetzal have access to the "Memoryplace", a sort of telepathic/magical ancestral memory. By ingesting a certain flower, humans are able to tap in.
* ''Literature/KilnPeople'' by Creator/DavidBrin has clay golems that you can copy your soul into. They only last 24 hours, but if your 'ditto' makes it home before it expires you can copy its memories back into your organic head.
* ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'':
** In one book, they visit the [[ProudMerchantRaceGuy Iskoort]], who have a booming trade where people have their memories copied and then sold to others for entertainment. They use the money from selling their own memories to fund everything they need (helped by the fact that Erek, who has [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld several millennia]] worth, is with them). This technology also proves valuable in finally defeating the Howlers and striking a major blow against [[EldritchAbomination Crayak]].
** The [[OmnicidalManiac Howlers]] themselves have a collective memory shared by the entire species. The [[PuppeteerParasite Yeerks]] also gain memories from anyone they infest. It turns out the reverse is true as well: one Yeerk died in the host's brain, and thus his own memories overlap with the Yeerk's.
** The Arn have mastered genetic manipulation to the point where they can keep someone's memories in a flask and transfer it to someone else, who then has not just memories but the actual personality in their body.
* ''Literature/TheCityAndTheDungeon'': Using a skill from a skillstone feels like reliving memories you've never had; you have a vague recollection of past mistakes and how to avoid them. Spellstones don't have the same feeling, which Xavier theorizes is because no one outside the Dungeon has ever cast a spell, so spellstones are only giving the most basic knowledge.
* ''Literature/TheDevourers'': The titular [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent werebeasts]] gain the memories and skills [[CannibalismSuperpower of the people they eat]]. Most see this as [[TranshumanTreachery just another form of nourishment]], but Fenrir, who's IntriguedByHumanity, tries to value the insights they provide. He's also used it to [[{{Omniglot}} become fluent in a lot of languages]].
* Ashley from ''Literature/{{Ward}}'' is a clone of the supervillain Damsel of Distress, created after the death of the original Damsel. The mad scientist who created Ashley gave her some, but not all, of Damsel's memories. When Ashley woke up, not only did she have all of Damsel's memories, she also had memories from the two heroes who fought Damsel the most.
* In ''Literature/AvalonWebOfMagic'', Kara shares her memories with an elemental horse to heal its LossOfIdentity-related angst.
* ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'': [[spoiler:Oliver Horn]] has his deceased mother's soul within him and can access some of her memories, which lets him [[spoiler:use the Fourth Spellblade, Angustavia, which his mother had mastered]].

* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' Masters and Servants can see each others' memories while they sleep. This reveals Saber and Archer's backstories, goals, personalities and identities. They also tend to depress both Servants and Masters because the things they see tend to be real downers.
** In the Unlimited Blade Works route Shirou gets glimpses of Archer's life and death due to [[spoiler:their souls being in sync as Archer is an alternate version of Shirou]].
** [[spoiler:Shirou's Reality Marble]] allows him to see the history of any sword it records, including how it was wielded. This allows him to experience some of the weapon's memories and reproduce the wielder's skills to some degree.

* ''VideoGame/SystemShock2'' has these as a result of the game's AppliedPhlebotinum. While walking along, your character will occasionally see ghosts acting out what usually turn out to be their last moments alive.

* It's implied that [[spoiler:Bastila Shan]] from ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' is experiencing some... feedback from her [[PsychicLink Force Bond]]. Probably explains the SanitySlippage.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', Krile inherits the abilities of [[spoiler:Galuf after his death]].

** This ceremony would later prove crucial to the backstory of ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy''.
* In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'', The Sorrow was a telepath who would channel the spirits of dead soldiers to imbue himself with combat prowess.

* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''
** The extinct [[OurDwarvesAreDifferent Dwemer]] counted among their many [[LostTechnology technological achievements]] a machine which could safely read an [[TomeOfEldritchLore Elder Scroll]] and imprint the information gained from it on a special cube where it could be more-safely accessed. ("More-safely" is a relative term, as the cubes have still been known to drive non-Dwemer mad.)
** The extinct Ayleids (Wild Elves) had memory crystals which could store memories and release them to the user. Overuse of these crystals was said to cause a "[[MySkullRunnethOver problem of capacity]]" for mortal minds.
** The ancient Yokudans, [[{{Precursors}} ancestors]] of the Redguards, had memory-stones which enabled those who used them to [[InstantExpert master complex sword techniques overnight]], although the user needed to have some knowledge already to understand what was being taught and many of the maneuvers required extensive physical training to actually ''use'' them in battle.
*** Such a memory stone shows up in an ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline'' quest which allows one to witness the final days of the legendary Redguard hero, Gaiden Shinji, prior to his death via CavalryBetrayal during the siege of Orsinium.
* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect'', if Shepard does a certain quest early in the game, they receive a small and apparently useless Prothean device as a reward. Much later while exploring an alien planet, they can find a Prothean artifact that will react with the device, uploading several years worth of memory from an ancient human that the Protheans had been studying into Shepard's brain. The Beacon encountered on Eden Prime also worked in this way, but due to its damaged state the images it uploaded were indistinct and required Shepard to find several other parts before they made sense.
* ''VideoGame/{{Moonrise}}'': Played with throughout the sapphic werewolf interactive novel. Since the player is inhabiting the body of their character, the character's past is separate from the player, and the memories "haunt" them. The player can choose to continue their body's past and relationships, or abandon them altogether.
* In ''VideoGame/TormentTidesOfNumenera'', the main character can use [[MentalTimeTravel merecasters]] to change the pasts of others, causing a RetGone of a number of things. People whose memories (and past) you alter will remember [[RippleEffectProofMemory both the original timeline]] and their new timeline at the same time, often causing no small amount of confusion. Matkina, whose original timeline gave her LaserGuidedAmnesia, gets the Ghost Memory of amnesia about things she now remembers fully due to you altering the past.
* ''VideoGame/DivinityOriginalSinII'':
** Elves can share the memories of the dead by [[CannibalismSuperpower consuming their flesh]], which is a major part of their [[FreakyFuneralForms funeral rites]]. In game, an elf PlayerCharacter can consume body parts to learn something about their former owners and, occasionally, to [[InstantExpert gain a free Skill]].
** After the player characters gain the ability to see spirits, they can attune to some ghosts' SoulPower to read their memories.

* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'': Ellen is an OppositeSexClone of another character, with all of his memories up until her creation. Then later Nioi showed up. Nioi claimed that since Ellen's [[OurSoulsAreDifferent soul]] was barely a couple months old, while she has the body and mind of a 17-year-old, she'll end up going insane. So Nioi "offers"[[note]]she doesn't actually wait for Ellen to agree, or explain it in enough detail for Ellen to fully consent, or mention her ulterior motive for wanting to do this to Ellen[[/note]] to "fix" the problem. For the next few weeks, when she slept, Ellen dreamt of life in another world, where she was born a girl (not a clone of a guy) and grew up normally. She retained all the memories of this other life, down to her own [[{{Squick}} birth]]. It's so far caused her as much angst as relief.
* Due to [[FourthWallObserver the way that godhood works]] in ''Webcomic/LsEmpire'', Pix is born with a complete memory of the past events of the comic (including the appearances of his future self). However, this only includes things that have actually been seen by the audience. His own private thoughts, muscle memory, and knowledge of how to use his FusionDance powers did not carry over. It takes him at least a week before he's able to talk properly, and his first two fusion attempts cause misfires (along with a half hour cool-down time that his future self lacks).
* When the nameless protagonist of ''Webcomic/{{Chitra}}'' is [[{{Isekai}} hit by a truck]], she's offered the chance to take over the duties of a priest-princess who serves the God of Beauty in another world. As the protagonist awakens in the original Chitra's body, she gains all of Chitra's memories in a painful, sudden burst.

* ''LightNovel/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'': [[spoiler:Oliver Horn]] has his deceased mother's soul within him and can access some of her memories, which lets him [[spoiler:use the Fourth Spellblade, Angustavia, which his mother had mastered]].

* A rather creepy part of ''Anime/GhostInTheShell1995''. No, you have no ex-wife, or daughter. A hacker put them in your brain so you would do his bidding.
** Perhaps even more disturbing is the moment in which he is asked to look at the photo he kept trying to show his coworker of his daughter and it turns out to be a photo of him and ''his dog''.

* In ''ComicBook/TheSandman'', [[spoiler:the second Corinthian is troubled by occasionally experiencing thoughts and memories left over from the first one]].

* A rather creepy part of the first ''Anime/GhostInTheShell'' film. No, you have no ex-wife, or daughter. A hacker put them in your brain so you would do his bidding.

* Franchise/MarvelUniverse limited series ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitty_Pryde_and_Wolverine Kitty Pryde and Wolverine]]''. The evil {{Ninja}} Ogun tries to take over [[Characters/MarvelComicsKittyPryde Kitty Pryde]] by impressing his mind on hers. Among other things, this gives her knowledge such as the ability to perfectly prepare a Japanese rock garden.
* Absorbing people's memories is one side effect of [[Characters/MarvelComicsRogue Rogue's]] powers in most ''Comicbook/XMen'' continuities, as well.

* In ''ComicBook/TheSandman'' [[spoiler:the second Corinthian is troubled by occasionally experiencing thoughts and memories left over from the first one]].
* In ''Comicbook/{{Starman}}'' [[spoiler:Will Payton and Prince Gavyn are merged into the same person and can switch between forms. While in the form of one, they have the Ghost Memory of the other.]]

* This trope affects Chromedome in ''ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'' as a ''severe'' side effect of his [[MindMeld mnemosurgery abilities]]. The thing is, he can [[InterrogatingTheDead read the memories of the dead]], but the side effect of that is that by reading their memories, he also ends up experiencing them, which is in turn [[TransferableMemory recorded in his memory from his perspective]]. The big problem with that is that ''he now knows how it feels to die,'' repeatedly, innumerable times, and in innumerable ways. They have become literal NightmareFuel for him, in that [[PastExperienceNightmare these memories torment him irregularly and unexpectedly]] while he recharges until he [[CatapultNightmare flings himself awake in a terror]]. It's little wonder he was DrivenToSuicide (though fortunately [[HappilyFailedSuicide he never went through with it]]). To make it even worse, it's revealed that mnemosurgery is addictive and eventually kills its practitioners.

* In the eminently forgettable Ray Liotta film ''Film/{{Unforgettable|1996}}'', a doctor, accused of the murder of his wife, injects himself with her memories, or some damn thing.

* A center point in ''Literature/SixChances'' in which the memories, thoughts, and feelings of six very different individuals begin to bleed into one another. As the six individuals are from different countries in a fantastical world that resembles a post-WWI time period, many things come into question such as identity and loyalty. It can be read [[https://sixchances.com here]].

* In The Glass Flower by G. Martin: [[spoiler: It�s revealed by the end of the book that the memories that the protagonist received were so overwhelming for him that he lost his identity in them and shifted more towards that of the original owner of those memories.]]

* ''Kiln People'' by David Brin has clay golems that you can copy your soul into. They only last 24 hours, but if your 'ditto' makes it home before it expires you can copy its memories back into your organic head.

** In one book, they visit the [[ProudMerchantRaceGuy Iskoort]], who have a booming trade where people have their memories copied and then sold to others for entertainment.

This technology also proves valuable in finally defeating the Howlers and striking a major blow against [[CosmicHorror Crayak]].

A character gets others' memories or abilities through some external means, like magic or... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin ghosts]]. Compare with GeneticMemory, which uses genetics, reincarnation, and whatnot. Or FakeMemories, in which the implanted memory is totally made up. Contrast DeathAmnesia. Not to be confused with GhostAmnesia, which is when a ghost can not remember their own memories.

* ''{{VideoGame/Moonrise}}'': Played with throughout the sapphic werewolf interactive novel. Since the player is inhabiting the body of their character, the character's past is separate from the player, and the memories "haunt" them. The player can choose to continue their body's past and relationships, or abandon them altogether.

* In ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'', Sonic, Dr. Eggman, Orbot and Cubot retain the memories of the old universe due to being in the epicenter of the final of ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogMegaManWorldsCollide'' and Sonic is able to restore the Freedom Fighters' memories by using NICOLE's energy buildup. However, Eggman points out that the memories of the new universe are asserting themselves and they would lose the memories of the old universe, which has indeed happened.

* In ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderman'', [[spoiler:Peter Parker's memories]] continue to haunt the Superior Spider-Man.

** Potential Slayers have a subconscious memory of the actions of past Slayers. While this usually only manifests through bizarre, monster-filled dreams, in the case of Dana (in the ''Series/{{Angel}}'' episode "Damage") the memories combined with her already fragile psyche to send her on a killing spree.

* This trope affects Chromedome in ''ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'' as a ''severe'' side effect of his [[MindMeld mnemosurgery abilities]]. The thing is, he can [[InterrogatingTheDead read the memories of the dead]], but the side effect of that is that by reading their memories, he also ends up experiencing them, which is in turn [[TransferableMemory recorded in his memory from his perspective]]. The big problem with that is that ''he now knows how it feels to die,'' repeatedly, innumerable times, and in innumerable ways. They have become literal NightmareFuel for him, in that [[BadDreams these memories torment him irregularly and unexpectedly]] while he recharges until he [[CatapultNightmare flings himself awake in a terror]]. It's little wonder he was DrivenToSuicide (though fortunately [[HappilyFailedSuicide he never went through with it]]). To make it even worse, it's revealed that mnemosurgery is addictive and eventually kills its practitioners.

* In the ''Franchies/MassEffect'' fic ''Fanfic/ProjectDelta'', Jane is implanted with some augments on which the past cycles worked like on the Crucible. She somehow gets the pain and vague memories of all the past augmented.

** ''Discworld/AHatFullOfSky'' has the hiver, a creature that inhabits people, drives them mad, and leaves with impressions of them when they die. A hiver inhabits the protagonist, Tiffany. It is eventually driven out, but for a while Tiffany has trouble figuring out who she is. By the next book it's all been settled, except for the memory of this one wizard who stirs every now and again to translate something or randomly exposit. It's not SharingABody or anything like that; he's called "a ghost of a ghost", not self-aware.

** The Dis-organizer in ''Discworld/{{Jingo}}'' is somehow switched for that of an alternate timeline in which Vimes stays in Ankh-Morpork and is killed by the invading Klatchians.

* Due to [[FourtWallObserver the way that godhood works]] in ''Webcomic/LsEmpire'', Pix is born with a complete memory of the past events of the comic (including the appearances of his future self).

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E14TheNextDoctor "The Next Doctor"]], a man named Jackson Lake became [[TitleDrop the next Doctor]] [[spoiler:when a gadget called an "infostamp" backfired and disgorged its contents into his mind. He also watched as the Cybermen killed his wife and kidnap his son. His already-broken mind readily accepted the information.]]

* Sharon "Athena" Valerii still had all of the memories of Sharon "Boomer" Valerii up to a certain point in ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}''. This goes true for other Cylon models as well, but the Eights are the only model who we have seen sharing memories. Another Eight does it again in 'The Hub'.

* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' ChristmasEpisode, "The Next Doctor," a man named Jackson Lake became [[TitleDrop the next Doctor]] [[spoiler: when a gadget called an "infostamp" backfired and disgorged its contents into his mind. He also watched as the Cybermen killed his wife and kidnapped his son. His already-broken mind readily accepted the information]].
* ''Series/{{Proof}}'':
** In "Memento Vivere," three comatose patients in one hospital ward suddenly flatline all at the same time, just as another patient in the same room regains consciousness. She cannot recall anything about herself, but mysteriously has the memories of the other three patients who died.
** In "Reborn," a woman claims that her son Matthew, who has been dead for 8 years, was somehow reincarnated as Kyle, another woman's child. Both boys were piano prodigies, who exhibited the same tics while playing the piano, had the same favorite piece, and had the same extremely rare heart condition. A recurring dream Kyle had also happened to match an event in Matthew's early childhood.

* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': some of the more ancient wargear available to humans and Eldar can retain a "ghost" of previous users' experiences. This tends to go badly when the equipmet is wired directly into the user's brain, such as Titans, or a previous user turned to Chaos.
