Line 146:
* One of the weirder episodes (which is saying something) of ''[[Paranoia Agent]]'' revolves around three people trying to kill themselves. At its conclusion, they realize that they succeeded early on and didn't notice. The implication is that ghosts in the ''Paranoia Agent'' universe don't know they're dead. The only visual sign of their death is that ghosts don't have shadows (as made clear when a man tries to kill himself by jumping in front of a subway train; he staggers away, bitching about his failure, but he has no shadow - and really, you can't survive that). There's an odd moment after [[The Reveal]] when the ghosts, happy to have died, stop in the background of a schoolgirl's picture-taking; when the girls look at their photo, they scream in terror. We don't see the picture, so it's not clear what happened (though it's possible only ''we'' see the ghosts as they were in life, and the ''girls'' saw their corpses).
* In ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'', Nadeshiko (the protagonist's mother) died at age 27 from [[Ill Girl|an unknown illness]]. She was very attached to her family, so she often makes appearances to check up on them. She eventually stops doing that, particularly after {{spoiler|Touya gives up his clairvoyant ability to save his boyfriend.}} She is notably very different in that she appears more like an angel than a ghost.
** Also, from the first movie to that series, we have the "Madoushi", Clow Reed's unnamed ex-girlfriend (and former student) who has been waiting for centuries for him to free her from [[Sealed Room in the Middle of Nowhere|an interdimensional prison]] he made for her after [[Moral Event Horizon|she started practicing dark magic.]] {{spoiler|Sakura helps her move on, even facing her fear of ghosts... and this particular one's wrath.}}
* [[Ano Hana]] revolves around Memma, a [[Cute Monster Girl|Cute Ghost Girl]] trying to rest in peace sort of.
* ''[[Ai Kora]]'' had a chapter involving a [[Cute Ghost Girl]] who was being haunted by a horde of other, male ghosts who had fallen madly in lust with her and who wouldn't pass on until she did a sexy dance for them(with some encouragement from Hachibei and Shibusawa). She showed up in a later chapter having possessed Shibusawa's mentor Aburazaka, where it turned out {{spoiler|she was actually the spirit of a girl who was still alive, but in a coma.}}
