TroubadourI named the corporeal undead in my setting ghosts. They are walking corpses, but in my setting there are both corporeal and disembodied ghosts, I just expanded the definition of ghost to mean both corporeal and incorporeal undead.
In my setting a ghost is a deceased person's soul after death.
1. The soul may wander the earth forever invisible to mortals (Incorporeal ghosts)
or
2. When a magician practices soulbinding on a dead corpse, a nearby disembodied ghost will go to the corpse and it will be binded with the dead body and become a corporeal ghost.
I have seen that some walking corpses were called ghosts, for example in Scandinavian folklore gjerganger and draugr.
I can also attribute this to a saga.
Why did I call the corporeal undead ghosts?
Because essentially they are souls (souls/"demons") that are soulbinded to a deceased body, the body they inhabit is dead but the soul (ghost) is undead. I am going to use this even if it baffles some readers.
What is your opinion on corporeal undead that are called ghosts?
