Worldbuilding Weekend Prompt #86 Friendly Ghosts
Welcome to the next in an ongoing series of writing prompts in the Worldbuilding community !
I'm aiming to post one of these each Sunday. They aren't a replacement for the excellent daily prompts from @worldbuilding they're just an extra opportunity if you have a writing itch you want to scratch. 😀

The prompt this week is - Friendly Ghosts
A Halloween themed prompt for you ! Most ghosts seem to be at best disturbed spirits looking for a way to be laid to rest, and at worst malevolent presences seeking revenge by harming anyone they can. But what of the friendly ones ? Tell me a story from your setting of friendly ghosts - why haven't they been turned hostile ? Were they like that in life ? What are they seeking, and why haven't they gone on to wherever spirits in your setting normally go after life ?
Just to add a bit of spice to things, the two entries I most like (and are linked in comments to this post, so I can find them !) that are posted by midnight (GMT) next Saturday will each get a prize of one Hive SBI.
This link will take you to the FAQ where you can read more about Hive SBI - it's a project I thoroughly support because it gives both the donor and winner a steady trickle of passive income paid out in the form of upvotes on posts.
Guidelines
I stole these guidelines straight from @worldbuilding prompts (I hope that's okay !), I couldn't have written them any better myself....
