Ghosts, also known as Spirits. phantoms, souls, or Spectres are the souls of a deceased being that had been bound to haunt a specific area, object, or creature that held significance to them when they were alive. Many spirits are considered to be a type of Mort and there are common similarities only for spirits to be the dead and those who were exposed in the Plains of Rebirth and become a mort-class entity.
It was not exactly known for certain what caused some people to become ghosts, but over time a number of recurrent factors had been observed. Often this state of existence was because of a soul having been horrendously evil in life, their deaths being tremendously emotional, being denied a proper burial, or because they had unfinished business. However there are some species that are ecto-based such as Yokai spirits, Ectnourites, or the Psychic-type Pokémon.
