There are ghosts everywhere - wherever you go in the world where people have lived, there is a constant imprint on that space - reliving, retelling what has taken place.
The Physical World lives and breathes these memories, even though those who are alive cannot penetrate their realities knowingly.
This single-mindedness keeps men from reliving that of their own past and allows the futures to greet them fully.
The difference between the usual ghosts and the ones at siege at Basingstoke Close was that their feeble consciousness had been imbibed - something had drawn the actual souls back - in part to revisit their tormented stories of that time.
There are good deaths, great deaths, and those passings that require healing- those deaths that in need of rehabilitation not ever final until laid to rest properly. And this can take time ... with centuries of turmoil.
Their souls, however, have long vacated their astral remains and are refreshed, quite separate to the harrowing ghosts that in time they shall reclaim to assimilate that part of themselves they did leave behind at the hasty end.
-Gabriel Brunsdon, Puck in Hell, Azlander Series
