So this is a thing that is happening.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Zon Uzolemath is throwing a tantrum. She feels regretful after starting a fist fight. She is frightened after being possessed by the dead.

Slab soon, slab often.

I'm new to succession forts in general, yes, but do all forts designed by multiple overseers inevitably degenerate into a body-filled labyrinth of chaos and despair like this? Or is this just a Battlefailed thing?

There isn't much middle ground between killed-by-dragon and never-seen-by-dragon.

Is this not new? I've never had a ghost possess a dwarf before.

I'm normally pretty good about slabbing - this guy was the first to die in a dragon rampage, and got pushed to the next screen.

There's a lot of different types of ghosts, the most common and nearly the only ones I've ever encountered are restless haunts who just wonder around places they used to be and bother people they used to know. However, on the wiki none of the ghost types mention anything about possessing people, so if you can check what type of ghost it is and we could update the wiki. Here's the link so you don't need to look it up http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Ghost

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.

He was an Angry Ghost. I guess that makes sense - that a dwarf who had a possessed mood would possess another dwarf after death.

I shall edit the wiki page accordingly.
