I'm pretty certain this has been known for a while, where was that sig, something along the lines of "with effective burrowing ... killed all the ghosts."

[Garath]

yup, it was dismissed as slightly ineffective though, since you had to get a fell mood, which is not really steerable, and make sure the ghost was the closest 'dwarf'. With the engraving bugfix, there are more efficient methods.

[Naryar]

this is pretty awesome.

[Loud Whispers]

fell mood

I'm sold. Making Dwarfs insane is the best past-time.

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

I don't believe so. I'm fairly certain that this kills the dwarf permanently, just as death by old age does.

All of the ghost bugs are pretty hilarious and verisimilitude-shattering. 

Ghost: "Youuuu! Youu left me to diiiiiee --- AAA! WHAT THE? AAAH! LET ME GO! WAIT, HOW ARE YOU GRABBING ME, ANYWAY, I'M A GH- OH ARMOK! YOU JUST RIPPED OUT MY LEG BONE! WAIT, I HAVE BONES? AAAAA-" *splut*

How effective is an artifact bone spear, anyway?

Unfortunately I'll never get the chance to try out that dwarf (ghost) bone spear, since the gobo invasion killed what was left of the fort. (Not having a usable front door OR a military kinda made that difficult to avoid. I told the Baron to grab the ecto-spear and wield it in defense of the fortress, but he never got around to it.  He died of thirst after getting the crap beat out of him by a troll wielding a leather waterskin... I love this game!

He died of thirst while he was being beaten with a sack full of water?

Definition of irony.

It's like final death to a vampire then.

[Retales]

Ghostbutchers!

[Corai]

Ghosts do rise again if butchered, someone did science. They also die of old age and grow up.

[Masta Crouton]

i look forward to the Urist McBonespear ghost ghost

[psychologicalshock]

This is "Cradledied The Unnameable Blight." the ghost of a ghost spear crafted from the ghost of Urist Mcghost. It menaces spikes of horse leather and is adorned with hanging rings of lobster shell.

Ghosts all the way down, man.
