I don't get why the ''Enterprise'' example in the OP has a spoiler tag - it's pretty obvious given the description.

* In the short-lived series ''Series/{{Raines}}'' Detective Raines imagines the VictimOfTheWeek hanging out with him while he tries to solve their murder.  Raines used to have a partner who got shot in the line of duty, and as [[TheReveal revealed]] at the [[FirstEpisodeSpoiler end of the first episode]] was actually killed, but Raines imagines having conversations with him too, in order to work out his own issues.
* ''Series/{{Bones}}'': Booth is trapped on a ship that's about to be sunk and the spirit of his army buddy Parker shows up to give him encouragement and advice. Booth knows that Parker is imaginary, but he does seem to help out since there are things they do together which would be impossible for one person to pull off.  Also at the end of the episode Brennan sees Parker, though she doesn't know that he's dead.
* In ''Literature/AChristmasCarol'' Scrooge thinks that Marley's ghost is one of these.
