A spirit may remain attached to remains, an object, a place or unresolved violence rather than simply to a grave.
The rule in this episode
A spirit may remain attached to remains, an object, a place or unresolved violence rather than simply to a grave. Identify the anchor and revenge pattern; salt/iron can disrupt; destroying remains is not sufficient when a different anchor persists.
Where the boundary stays
The anchor is case-specific: remains, an object, a place or unresolved violence may carry the attachment. No single disposal method applies to every spirit. Later episodes expand the range of anchors and ghost behavior. Those additions require episode-level evidence before this profile is treated as complete.
