Vengeful Spirits are a dangerous type of ghost that is among the most recurring beings on the series.

Characteristics

They are ghosts, who have had some great wrong done to them in their lives (normally what killed them), this causes them to remain after death, to try and avenge this wrong. Over time they slowly become obsessed with this until it is the only thing they can think of. Bobby described it like "an itch that you just can't scratch". As such they act violently to try and avenge the wrong, however in the process, their obsession with revenge often leads to them harming innocent people. Sometimes their vengeance can spread on to others, who had nothing to do with them, but have or are doing something that is similar to their death.

It is possible that once they are avenged they pass on, however often they are unable to cause this. Occasionally, they're people who are still alive, but on the verge of death.

To kill a vengeful spirit you must find the body, salt and burn it. If the body is already burned then the spirit is possessing an object. Once you know what object it is possessing then you salt and burn that.
