[Urist McDwarfFortress]

My fortress is currently recovering (maybe) from a disastrous tantrum spiral and my Baron went into a fell mood and took over the butcher's shop.  I wasn't paying much attention, since there was a goblin siege going on and the lever controlling the front door has gone missing  but anyway, the next thing I know, the Baron has apparently grabbed a nearby ghost and dragged her to the butcher's shop where he slaughtered her to make an artifact from her corpse! 

Maybe this happens all the time, but its the first time I've ever seen it, and I thought it was hilarious!

UPDATE: He made a dwarf bone spear called "Cradledied The Unnameable Blight."  It has an image of salmon in dwarf bone.

I await the total photonic reversal.

This has been reported ever since ghosts were put in the game.  And yes, it is hilarious.  Unfortunately, it's difficult to make it happen in any kind of reliable way.

Your Baron! You should have this illustrated.

You just have to make a fortress like mine: a few miserable dwarfs surrounded by tons of ghosts.  The wiki says that a fell moody dwarf will simply grab the nearest dwarf, since there are around 5 ghosts to every living dwarf in my fortress, chances are the nearest dwarf will be a ghost!  Finely crafted dwarf ghost trinkets for everyone!

If you make a hammer from ghost-bone....

Sorry to be a spoil-sport/skeptic but did you see him grab a ghost, or does he have a kill listed as "ghostly something or other"?

 because if it is the latter it might be that he used a real person, who then became a ghost

[i2amroy]

It's completely possible for fell mood dwarves to grab ghosts. It's a know bug and is actually pretty cool whenever it happens.

So when a ghost gets... killed again, does he raise ever again to haunt your fortress?

huh. makes me wonder if a new way to deal with ghosts might be sending in the army

[Johuotar]

If they dont then this is best way to get rid of ghosts. Forget slabs, turn ghosts into products instead!
