*** Except for the period during the post-''Zero Hour'' run of the ''{{Legion of Super Heroes}}'' during which Apparition really ''was'' a ghost, having been killed by a member of the White Triangle, and was intangible all the time. [[DisneyDeath She got better.]]

*** It is possible for a ghost to be created even if someone's death is very brief, i.e. they were revived via CPR after suffering a bout of clinical death. Also, powerful individuals like wizards can leave very powerful ghosts behind when they die. In ''Grave Peril'', [[spoiler: Harry takes advantage of this by passing unconscious so a ghost can kill him in his sleep, only to be revived by CPR, and thus creates a ghost ''of himself'' that he teams up with to beat the crap out of the hostile ghost that killed him.]]

* Ye Olde Tyme GoldenAge Comics had Sgt. Spook, the ghost of a police officer who was able to interact with his medium - an orphan boy, of course - and solve crimes. These crimes varied from bank robbers and gangsters to supernatural romps.

* Although ''WhatDreamsMayCome'' is primarily about the afterlife, its protagonist does hang around in the living world as an invisible, intangible ghost for a bit, unwilling to bear leaving his home or wife. When he tries to touch her, she's immediately overwhelmed by her grief and wails miserably, which convinces him he should move on and spare her from the pain of his unseen, unreachable presence.


Added DiffLines:

*** Note that ghosts' PsychicPowers seem quite limited in this setting, as it took every bit of fortitude Verence I had, merely to sprinkle unpalatable amounts of salt on his killer's food.
** One-Man-Bucket from ''Discworld/ReaperMan'' admits that he remained around as a ghost because he can't set aside his craving for alcohol. He plays the role of "spirit guide" at Mrs. Cake's seances; because she's a medium, his voice can be heard by anyone who is in her presence.

* In {{Concession}} ghosts are usually after revenge, and can bond to a living person (like a relative or lover) and give them [[PowersViaPossession enhanced psychic powers]]. They also seem [[AlwaysChaoticEvil universally evil]] and prone to committing MindRape.
** Recent hidden pages suggest that [[spoiler: the body protects the spirit from a form of radiation, and the longer a ghost refuses to pass on the more like an EldritchAbomination they become, also Miranda [[EmotionEater feeds on despair.]]]]

** And then there's the latest game, ''[[GeistTheSinEaters Geist: the Sin-Eaters]]''. The geists of the title are essentially ghosts who've been boiled down to the bare essence of what defined them in life or death (e.g., a soldier killed in combat becoming a shredded mass of meat and shrapnel focused on "winning the fight").

The geists of the title are essentially ghosts who've been boiled down to the bare essence of what defined them in life or death (e.g., a soldier killed who died at Ypres in combat becoming a shredded mass of meat gas attack becomes the Gasping Colonel, a gaunt figure with wheezy breath and shrapnel focused on "winning a gas mask that appears to be made of tanned human skin). As a result, their human memories are fragmented, to say the fight").least, but they gain access to the power sources of the Underworld and can make bargains to bring the mystically inclined back from the dead... as long as they get to come along as passengers.

* Ben Willis/The Fisherman in ''I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer'' appears to be either the Unfinished Business or Resounding Psychic Echo type. He's actually lacking in a lot of powers associated with ghosts (apparently only able to appear and vanish at will) and can be physically harmed (even bleeding, though its evident the only thing that actually hurts and doesn't just annoy him is his original hook).

** The boy in the hospital, on the other hand, was lingering in this world because he didn't realize he was dead, and because he was scared of [[UsefulNotes/{{Psychopomps}} The Guides]]. He seemed to possess powers similar to Mort's, but which operated on a completely subconscious level, and were [[GlamourFailure negated in the presence of a Medium]]. His coming to grips with his own death allowed him to pass on.
