I’ve personally never seen a ghost from any time earlier than the 1920s.

The resulting ghost depends on a lot of factors that I don’t really understand, but it’s like taking out a brain, cutting it up, shuffling it around, and then trying to put it back into the same head. Anybody who deals with brain stuff knows that even the smallest brain injury can result in drastic different personalities. Some ghosts seem similar to the living person they were, but its rare. Most ghosts kind of end up in a “looping event” where they relive the last minutes of their lives over and over again (tragic, I know).

Some ghosts are more powerful than others, and it directly relates to how much electromagnetism they are seeping from the air. When a ghost is powerful enough, their “brain” can start to influence human brains, whether they mean it or not. This can have a variety of effects, but the most common are emotional reactions and hallucinations.
