Ghost won't be at rest
« on: August 15, 2014, 09:16:32 pm »
Urist my "dead" farmer has his own coffin, memorial and tomb dedicated to his honor and he's still floating about following his relatives. What does this haunting nuisance want his families souls?

Did he bump into a necromancer, or otherwise reanimate after death?

Did he die by berserk rage?

There's been a few bugs around unusual death circumstances, if neither of those explain it, and nobody else poitns to a known bug it may be worth reporting.

Might be a repeat of this bug:
http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=8003

But if not a repeat, it sure sounds like it's related.

Sounds like you have a slab, if the ghost popped up after you placed the slab, there might be merit in moving it. 

I've heard that DFHack has an option for removing ghosts, but I don't know how much of it's working with the new versions of Dwarf Fortress.
