>Okay, realistically they aren't. Or rather, a person who dies doesn't just generate one dead soul, They generate any number of ghosts, phantoms, evil spirits, whatever is appropriate. So one person dying coudl release like fifty ghosts, 8 phantoms, and some weird unique youkai thing, and they still kinda pass on (though perhaps don't make it to judgment). HOWEVER. Back in the day I had to differentiate them,and that's how I did it because that's how I thought it worked. So I stick with it. Even if I use the terms interchangeably, because everything does.
>BUT IN SHORT: Ghosty bit remaining in the living world is different than someone judged and placed into the correct afterlife. Probably. Hell might be different? Not sure there.
