Ghost ideas~
dead Deb won't quit, fantastic idea courtesy of Jen
A ghost who turned detective in death to solve their murder (which no one seems to care about) and has never made any progress with it, but keeps solving other crimes without even trying. Keeps harassing the Spirit Div to help him look for clues to his murder. In reality he hasn't solved it because he died of natural causes but refuses to believe that.
A woman killed on the eve of her wedding who haunts her would-be husband to prevent him from marrying someone else, and sometimes crashes other weddings too just to tell everyone what a sham the notion of "everlasting love" is.
A creature/being/magical theory aficionado who is really upset that they can't move things now that they're dead and keeps trying to trick humans into making a poltergeist so that they can try to tame it & make it do their bidding.
A ghost who doesn't speak English, so Ford keeps bringing people from Magical Co-op to see if they recognize the language and the ghost is getting increasingly offended because you think I'm Italian?? How dare you! etc etc.
A ghost who died in a cave centuries ago and was only recently uncovered so they know nothing about modern life and ask ridiculous questions about everything to everyone they see. Also, tries to impose 15th century notions of honor and morality on everyone.
A shop manager/owner who dies but keeps coming in to work, which really frustrates him employees who didn't like him that much (not to mention that one of them would much rather have his job), so they complain about him every day in the hopes that spirit div will force him to retire.
Spirit rights activist, staging protests the living people keep literally walking through the middle of and lobbying Spirit div for things like property ownership rights and suffrage, which... is obviously problematic.
A ghost who wants to avenge their own death (which they believe was arranged by a prominent family) by killing all of the members of that family. Obviously, it is difficult to do this without a body, so they devise elaborate Rube-Golberg style scenarios to lead the family members to accidentally die, then ask random living people to put things in place in exchange for ghostly favors like spying on someone — ie "yes I can tell you if your husband is cheating but in return you must place this rubber ball beneath this particular street sign next Sunday, and no you may not ask any questions about it."
In short: make ghosts please <3
