...I can't memorialize the ghost of a fallen caravan guard. He's only restless and bugging this one soldier who was stationed outside, but I can't engrave a slab to him. His remains were atom smashed so I can't put them in a coffin. What do I do?

[Magistrum]

Use DF hack tweak for fixing ghosts, or you can just wait for the ghost to die of old age, if he isn't a murderous one, but that may take some time...

[FallenAngel]

I moved the save to dfhack but the fix missing and the fix ghosts parts of "tweak" failed to work.

[Magistrum]

Is it murderous?

[FallenAngel]

No, it's just restless.
The guy's bugging my single military unit.

[Astrid]

Let him bug him, they'll become friends. or your guard will turn insane, depends.

[Magistrum]

I'm not sure, but I remember something at the wiki about it, you may be able to freeze him in a river or pond to limit his movements, if you have a freezing or temperate biome.

[FallenAngel]

My biome is warm but for some reason the water freezes during the middle of winter.
I'll need to lure him into the water and keep him there, though.

[Magistrum]

Be free to use all the stupid dwarf tricks you can to achieve this, I would like if you conducted some science (please, not !!SCIENCE!!) on ghost behaviors and shared with us beforehand, if that wouldn't be ask much...

[FallenAngel]

So far, he's just stalking that soldier.
Fitting, since he was a caravan guard.
The solider seems to not mind the otherworldly company.
EDIT: Oh dang he found his way into the fort. Everyone's so stoic and they're like "Oh, just a ghost.".

[Magistrum]

Them... Wait it die of old age... quite odd but works.

[FallenAngel]

If he's still here in 100 years, I'm taking action.
