22
23* AndIMustScream: Some ghosts were evil in life, but even good spirits who remain as ghosts become twisted by a desire for vengeance.
24* AnimateDead: The spirits of the dead can be summoned by a {{Necromancer}} who may be a human practicing BlackMagic like [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E18HollywoodBabylon Walter Dixon]] or [[Recap/SupernaturalS07E07TheMentalists Jimmy Tomorrow]] or a demon like [[Recap/SupernaturalS04E02AreYouThereGodItsMeDeanWinchester Lilith]] or [[Recap/SupernaturalS04E07ItsTheGreatPumpkinSamWinchester Samhain]].
