Re: killing ghosts (whatever that means)

I have found zapping them with a wand of sleep lets you beat merciless
on their ephemeral souls, still takes a bit of strength etc to disperse
them.

Sometimes the ghosts of previous players can be extremely helpful.  They
may leave *all* their gear on the spot where they first reappear.  (I
picked up about thirty items this way recently.)  However, some of the
items may be cursed.
