What happens if you turn this on its head? What happens if your gaming group is asked to help a woman put to rest the ghost of a child? 

We will explore changing each ghost in your RPG to function as spirits of the dead do in the show Supernatural. There are rules to properly dispatch a ghost. 

And if your group determines that those rules don't work then what is left? What about a demon that can take on the appearance of a ghost child to invoke pity and fear? And those are the emotions it feeds upon.

 Come down the rabbit hole for a good story idea that you can use this week.
