A character who can only be perceived by one or a small number of other characters. This character's purpose is most often to provide advice, act as a moral compass, or substitute for Mr. Exposition. If there are two with opposing viewpoints, then you're dealing with Good Angel, Bad Angel instead. Ironically, the Spirit Advisor is rarely The Ghost (even if he is a genuine ghost). If someone who can't see the Spirit Advisor learns about their existence, they will inevitably try to talk to them, leading the character who can truly see them shaking his head and saying, "He/She's over there." A rough sci-fi equivalent is the Virtual Ghost, though it is usually visible to anyone. Can be the result of ascending to a higher plane of existence. Compare Helpful Hallucination, who only exists within one's head, thus their entire personality and being are shaped by the person imagining them. See also: Waif Prophet, Warrior Poet, He Who Must Not Be Seen, Dead Person Conversation, Floating Advice Reminder, Multitasked Conversation, I See Them, Too, Non-Human Sidekick, Not-So-Imaginary Friend, Closer to Earth, Noble Savage, and Magical Guide. For the Science Fiction version, see Virtual Sidekick. |

The Shadow Hearts series both plays with the trope and uses it straight. In the first game, the Spirit "Advisors" are the Four Masks, fiendish entities who torment and mock those who can see them, plotting to steal their souls. Later, in Covenant, Jeanne plays the role straight for Yuri. A past Big Bad also appears in a dodgy Heel–Face Turn. In both Covenant and From the New World, the Ring Soul appears, a being with power over fate. This being Shadow Hearts, the main character quickly gets past their formality and makes friends with them. |

Subverted with most other ghosts, including Mr. Prenderghast, who are too wrapped up in their own obsessions to offer much useful guidance. Inverted with Norman and Aggie, as he is a living person trying to help guide a spirit. | |

Advice-dispensing pseudo-deities visible (or audible) to only a few people run rampant in Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series. There's a malevolent version in Ruin, who's advice tends to run toward killing everything. More traditional benevolent advisors include the Mist Spirit/Preservation, who communicates via pointing (and stabbing); Kelsier, who won't let something as silly as death keep him from meddling; and eventually ascended Vin and Sazed. | |

The Simpsons: Spoofed in the' episode "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Homer", where Homer hallucinates after eating "the Merciless Peppers of Quetzlzacatenango." His Spirit Advisor is a coyote◊, the trickster spirit of a number of Amerindian tribes. The distinctive voice of Homer's spirit guide is provided by legendary singer Johnny Cash. This sequence eventually leads to the infamous line "In your face, space coyote!" In another episode, Homer's brain conjures up the spirit of labour organizer Cesar Chavez (whom Lisa had mentioned to him earlier in the episode), except he looks like Cesar Romero because, as Chavez put it, "you don't know what Cesar Chavez looks like." "The Last Temptation of Homer" has Homer faced with being attracted to another woman. A guardian angel of sorts tries to advise and first takes the form of Isaac Newton. As Homer has no idea who that is, his advisor then takes the form of Colonel Klink. |

Master Splinter astroprojects to meet the turtles, his physical body having been driven to animalistic frenzy while captured by the Shredder in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012). He guides his sons to the next level of their training before they return to New York. He does this again after having been Killed Off for Real, appearing exclusively to Leonardo to offer advice and guidance in his new role as head of the family. It's left ambiguous as to whether this is real or in Leo's head. Though Splinter is confirmed to be a ghost. | |

Parodied in Aqua Teen Hunger Force when Bart Oates appears to Carl and attempts to push him to get his life on track. He's later revealed to not be spirit at all, but a cyborg sent back in time to get Carl to kill Linda Hamilton and prevent the formation of the human resistance ala The Terminator. Carl is less than impressed. | |

RWBY: In Volume 4, the fourteen-year-old Farm Boy Oscar ends up joining the heroes in their fight against Salem because he has the ability to channel a spirit advisor who possesses key knowledge and experience they need in the battle against her. It comes as a bit of a surprise to all of them, especially Oscar, who went to bed "normal" and woke up "special". When Ozpin's physical body is killed at the end of Volume 3, his soul, Aura and memories merge with Oscar. He can communicate either as a voice inside Oscar's head or by taking control of Oscar's body directly. It's a form of Parasitic Immortality bestowed upon him thousands of years ago by the God of Light to guide humanity towards The Day of Reckoning. Unfortunately, his ability to do that has been complicated by Salem, whose Complete Immortality makes her an Invincible Villain. His decision to hide this Awful Truth from the heroes means they stop trusting his advice and guidance, sending him into an Heroic BSoD where he locks himself in the back of Oscar's mind for two volumes. | |

Constantine (2014): The Angel Manny is supposed to be this, but as John notes, he usually shows up to chew John out, say he cannot do anything about the current problem, or any advice he does give is so cryptic it is useless.

The Divine Comedy: Dante is guided through Hell by the spirit of Virgil, the famous Roman poet, who is more than familiar enough with the worldly sins of all those they encounter. It is only once they see the entirety of evil and reach Purgatory that Virgil begins to falter. He still guides Dante up the mountain and teaches him, but since Virgil himself is a denizen of Hell, the continuing importance of the Angels and the growing proximity of God forces him to leave Dante once he is about to enter into Paradise. Beatrice, the deceased love of Dante's life, takes the Poet through the spheres of Heaven, becoming increasingly more beautiful and jovial as they further approach God. As a Saint leading a fallen mortal, Beatrice guides and teaches Dante like a mother deals with a particularly distressed child. She often knows what Dante wants to ask before he does and she always has an answer that leaves him stunned and better for it. Saint Bernard takes over as Dante's guides for the last two cantos so that Bernard, on the advice of the Blessed Mother, can help Dante better perceive and experience the true presence of God. |

The Dresden Files: Lasciel is one of these. Though Harry has bound the magical trinket Lasciel resides in, a psychic echo of her still appears in his mind and offers him power and advice. While Harry doesn't necessarily want the help of a fallen angel who's playing a long game on him so that he ends up in Hell's coffers, the things he encounters require him to make use of her Hellfire and other talents. The Archangel Uriel also qualifies as one of these for Harry, and is significantly more benevolent about his advice (though not necessarily more polite about it). In Ghost Story, Harry himself acts as a Spirit Advisor to a young man named Fitz. The air spirit Bob ironically is a light downplayed version since while he is a literal spirit and acts as an advisor to Harry, he is visible to other characters (no matter how much Harry might wish otherwise). |

Homestuck: The Kernelsprites when suitably prototyped. So far, every player has protoyped their Kernelsprite with the remains of the deceased, in essence reviving the departed in sprite mode, with all memories of their past life. Using something dead isn't strictly necessary, but Kernelsprites are preternaturally drawn to death and using something not dead is rare, with only 3 (out of 16) being shown in canon, and all of those were tier 2 prototyped with a dead person. All of these sprites are ultimately fated to die a second time. Some of the Trolls die and continue to linger in pseudo-purgatory and provide advice for the remaining players. Oddly the most literal definition of the trope applies to Vriska for WV, as she harasses him in his dreams. |

If the player decides that they want to follow the Light side of the Force later on however, he's generous enough to point them in the direction of the ghost of Jedi Knight Ulic Qel-Droma for further guidance (if only to prove to them how "futile" it is to resist his influence). | |

Liaden Universe: In Sharon Lee's and Steve Miller's story, the witches of Sintia have a formal Spirit Advisor system—each young witch has an old soul. It's not entirely clear how this works in practice, because none of the point-of-view characters has been a witch of Sintia except Priscilla, and she only becomes a point-of-view character after she leaves the order. (Officially, she was cast out for blasphemy; actually, it was because she—with her Spirit Advisor's encouragement—did the Right Thing when her superiors would have preferred her to do the Politically Convenient Thing.) | |

This continues until Kel'thuzad is resurrected in the Sun Well. Uther the Lightbringer, the revered paladin who founded and headed the Silver Hand and perished at the hands of his own pupil Arthas in Warcraft III, came back as a ghost in World of Warcraft to paladins who accomplished the quest to honor (Alliance)/desecrate (Horde) his grave before the revamp of the Cataclysm espansion, and gave some advices. He also came back as a ghost to give advices to Sylvanas Windrunner (Horde)/Jaina Proudmore (Alliance) and the players in the five-players Icecrown dungeon Halls of Reflection on how to defeat the Lich King (Arthas), with his spirit apparently emerging from the Soul Eating sword Frostmourne. |

The General Series: General Raj Whitehall is advised by Center, a pre-collapse-of-civilization computer (originally a traffic-control computer, but its abilities go far beyond). In later books of the series set centuries later, Whitehall's consciousness has joined with Center's, and now they both act as Spirit Advisors on other barbarian planets — Center as the logical fount-of-knowledge and Whitehall as the wise voice-of-experience. This puts their protege in the position of being the moderator of a Power Trio. |

In Pathfinder's Curse of the Crimson Throne adventure path, this role is filled by Zellara, the fortune teller who assembles the PCs to get revenge on crime lord Gaedren Lamm at the very beginning of the path. After disposing of Lamm, the characters find Zellara's head, revealing that she was Dead All Along. Her spirit continues to assist them throughout the path, performing Harrow (Pathfinder's tarot equivalent) readings at the start of each adventure that grant the characters minor bonuses. In the final adventure, she merges with another ghost to turn her Harrow deck into a powerful, but risky artifact for the PCs' use. | |

Bumblebee becomes this after his death in The Transformers: Robots in Disguise, haunting Starscream and trying to push him to be a better leader and person, which surprisingly starts to take. As time goes on, it becomes clear that Bumblebee is not a hallucination and is in fact Not Quite Dead. Starscream ultimately becomes this to Bumblebee when the yellow scout comes back to life and the seeker sacrifices his life to save the universe. | |

Syl in The Stormlight Archive fits this trope, she's usually only visible to Kaladin, unless she chooses to let somebody else see her, though Rock can also see her, for some reason. She helps Kaladin by providing encouragement. Later we find out she's a Bond Creature, an honorspren that provides Kaladin with Surgebinding abilities while gaining a capacity for thought and memory. | |

A Jedi spirit haunting a space station in Galaxy of Fear can't be detected by anyone who is not Force-sensitive. Tash arrives and is, but she's untrained and can only vaguely sense him. He follows her around trying to warn her away from the many hazards, seriously spooking her in the process. Only when she manages to clear her mind and ignore her fears can he make himself properly seen and heard, and for the rest of the book he tries to help and advise her. | |

Ben (reluctantly) plays this role to Klaus in The Umbrella Academy (2019), as Ben is dead and Klaus is the only person who can see him. He usually dispenses snarky comments and occasionally suggests that Klaus make some effort to turn his life around, though he seems fully aware that that won't work. In Season Two, he gets a bit more serious about offering help and advice to Vanya, while he's inside her mind trying to save her from herself. He reminds her that she's no longer alone, and that her siblings love her. He then fully passes while in her arms. | |

On Big Mouth the Hormone Monsters and other creatures from Human Resources, as well as ghosts such as Duke Ellington tend to be this. All are selectively invisible, sometimes even to characters who know that they exist. The Human Resources creatures may even be present in multiple locations at the same time. Such as Connie, who works with both Nick and Jessi independently of each other. Or they may converse with the kids in such a way that those who cannot see them are unaware of the side conversation. | |

Bob, formerly Hrothbert of Bainbridge, in The Dresden Files TV series, is a prime example of the trope. This character is a Spirit Advisor several times over. He not only gives Harry advice on what kind of magic to do in any given situation, he assists in many cases, thanks to his spectral abilities. He also started teaching Harry magic when Harry was eleven. He was also Spirit Advisor to a number of other wizards down through the centuries, including Harry's evil uncle, Justin Morningway. | |

In Avatar: The Last Airbender and its Sequel Series The Legend of Korra, previous Avatars act as advisors to the current Avatar. In Korra's case, the spiritual aspects of being the Avatar are difficult for her, so she doesn't get any help from the previous Avatars until later in the first season. Aang's spirit initially can only convey memories in flashes of images, and doesn't manifest himself until the season finale. Problems arise at the end of Season 2, when Korra's connection with her past lives is severed when Raava is ripped from her soul and destroyed. She gets a secondary Spiritual Advisor in Uncle Iroh, who by this point has Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence. However, she can still rely on Raava, whom she's been trying to contact in Book 4. | |

Calling himself Wind, he supported the pair by granting them skills and equipment if they could prove themselves worthy of them by completing the tasks he gave. His true identity turned out to be Eric Lecarde, the man who had previously fought alongside Jonathan's father in Castlevania: Bloodlines. | |

Playing off the hint in Attack of the Clones, Yoda is depicted conferring with Qui-Gon Jinn's spirit in several Clone Wars–era novels. In Dark Rendezvous, Qui-Gon provides a crucial insight into his old master Dooku's intentions, and in the Revenge of the Sith novelization, Yoda actually accepts a position as Qui-Gon's apprentice, to learn how to pass into the Force himself. It is implied that Qui-Gon, having been a less conventional Jedi in life, will also teach Yoda how to train Luke to defeat the Emperor, which Yoda himself could not accomplish. | |

Between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, the very green Luke Skywalker is actively mentored by Obi-Wan's spirit. In Splinter of the Mind's Eye, which was both written and takes place between those two movies, Luke mentions feeling an "agreeably crawly sensation," like someone is standing with him, which he associates with his teacher. At the end of the book, Obi-Wan briefly possesses Luke in order to fight off Darth Vader, since Luke and Leia would both be killed otherwise. In Allegiance, Obi-Wan patiently helps convey to Luke what the Force needs him to do, telling him not to shoot someone who would later become an ally, helping him recognize a "coiled-spring predator" sensation in certain thugs, and generally trying to talk him through things. When Luke, Han, and Chewbacca are locked into separate rooms by the Hand of Judgment, Obi-Wan tells Luke that Leia is in danger, and then has to tell the boy that he's not as trapped as he thinks. | |

Lost: Boone appears to Locke in the sweat lodge. Charlie and Anna-Lucia have appeared to Hurley and given him advice, much to his dismay. Mr. Eko has also played chess with him. Christian Shephard, Jack's father, has appear before various people on the island. Jacob, leader of the Others, of which only Ben and Locke have really interacted with. After Jacob's death, he puts on this role to guide Hurley, taking advantage of Hurley's ability to converse with the dead. Hurley actually compares his appearances to Obi-Wan Kenobi. Of course, he's got his own motives, good or bad, and he's more of a Manipulative Bastard than The Mentor. |

The Lion King: Mufasa becomes one of the "great kings of the past" and advises his son on the responsibilities of his birthright from beyond the grave. He continues this in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, but that's more of a "deity talking to a Good Shepherd" thing with Rafiki. He does a more blatant version with his grandson in the spin-off series, which is discussed below. | |

Kill Six Billion Demons: After his body gets decapitated during the comic's intro, Zoss' subsequent appearances are all as a phantom only visible or audible to Allison. He has a tendency to appear out of the shadows to give her cryptic but motivating advice. King of Swords reveals Zoss communicates with Allison mentally, meaning Incubus can see him as well as long as he's using his Dream Walker powers on Allison at the same time. | |

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Mia Fey performs this function in the games. It's made easier by the fact that Phoenix's Sidekick Maya is a Spirit Medium and Mia's little sister, whose job description is speaking on behalf of dead people. (This often happens involuntarily, as Maya's abilities for the first game and a half are a bit hit-or-miss, and Mia's a definitely forceful personality.) Later on, usually when Maya is unavailable, their Medium-prodigy cousin Pearl does similar helpful channeling. | |

The Legend of Wonder Woman (2016): After having her soul torn from her body Alcippe still sticks around to mentor Diana, though she has trouble getting anything but emotions through to her outside of near death situations where Diana is unconsious. Artemis (the goddess) acts as one to Hippolyta in Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons. |

At the beginning of Obi-Wan's exile in Star Wars: Kenobi, Qui-Gon has yet to appear to him without Yoda present, but Obi-Wan addresses him in nightly meditations, which serve as Captain's Log entries for the reader. In the last chapter of Dark Lord—The Rise of Darth Vader, Obi-Wan discovers that Vader is still alive, and Qui-Gon finally speaks to him to reassure him that Luke is safe—Vader will never return to Tatooine, the planet that caused him so much pain. Qui-Gon also tells Obi-Wan not to tell Luke about his parentage "until the time is right," leading to Obi-Wan's famous Metaphorically True speech when he is a Spirit Advisor. | |

In The Elder Scrolls series, as revealed in Skyrim, this is part of the agreement the Nightingales make with Nocturnal, the Daedric Prince of Darkness and the Night who is also associated with Thieves and Luck. In life, Nocturnal grants the Nightingales immense power and freedom to do with it as they wish, on the condition that they always protect the Ebonmere, the conduit between her realm of Oblivion, Evergloam, and Mundus, the mortal plane. Deceased Nightingales then serve a "term" as the "spectral guardians" of the Ebonmere and Twilight Sepulcher, allowing them to communicate with the still-living Nightingales. | |

CSI: Miami has two examples of this. One as Eric Delko receiving help from the recently deceased Tim "Speed" Speedle on a case. Anybody familiar can explain this away based of Delko's bullet-across-the-head incident in an earlier season. A second example is a running theme in the episode "Backfire". Calleigh Duquesne is visited by the spirit of the innocent dead boy whose body was found inside of a burned down house. This one can't be as easily explained as Delko's. |

The phantom Alchemist in Reah: Face the Unknown, whose body is hidden in the Desert City's temple. The front door is locked and his ghost can only travel so far, but this doesn't stop him from giving you subtle clues and testing you with puzzles when you get inside. Later, after you use a hidden portal, the Alchemist follows you throughout the rest of Reah as this trope. By the endgame, however, the Alchemist shows his true colors when you activate the Core machine, revealing that Reah is his own creation, and that you've already been there before the game started. | |

Due South: Benton Fraser gets to know his father much better after the latter's death (in the series pilot) than he ever did in life, thanks to Bob Fraser's insistence on hanging around and offering (frequently irritating and unwelcome) personal and professional advice. Fraser Sr. even sets up extradimensional living quarters (so to speak) in his son's office closet. We also very briefly see Ray Vecchio's deceased father doing this to Ray once or twice. |

In the play (and miniseries) Angels in America, Ethel Rosenberg appears to Roy Cohn after he is diagnosed with AIDS, though it's mainly just to torture him while he's on his deathbed (It's stated that he illegally influenced the verdict in her trial to get her executed). She fits this trope more traditionally when she helps Louis recite the Kaddish (the Jewish prayer for the dead) after Roy dies. Prior's ancestors fit this trope too. | |

Malazan Book of the Fallen: Wither, a wraith, tries to play the spirit advisor towards Udinaas, a slave. Wither hides in Udinaas' shadow to escape capture, and offers Udinaas secret knowledge and advice in exchange. Unfortunately, Wither is a Jerkass with delusions of grandeur, while Udinaas knows that knowing too much is bad for your health. When he eventually escapes slavery, Wither keeps hounding him and whispering pseudo-arcane revelations until Udinaas calls him out on how anyone with a working brain could come to the same conclusions. The now ex-slave points out that Wither feels cheated after he's put so much time and effort into it and now wants Udinaas to have been worth all that attention, which Udinaas isn't as he isn't willing to play along. Wither repays the insight by trying to kill Udinaas in the finale of Reaper's Gale. | |

The 10th Kingdom: Snow White calls herself a fairy godmother, but also freely admits she is actually dead (something which is never stated about fairy godmothers). Only Virginia and Wendell (the latter either because he's gone doggy at the time or because he's her grandson) can see and speak with her—Tony cannot. She later appears in Virginia's dreams. | |

Optimus Prime serves this role in the first season of Transformers: Robots in Disguise guiding Bumblebee to Earth and advising him to prepare him for a trial that threatens both Earth and Cybertron. Towards the end of the season the threat, Megatronus, reveals himself to Steeljaw and acts in similar way to him guiding him to build a portal that will bring him to Earth. Once Megatronus is dealt, with Optimus remains on the physical plain for the rest of the series. | |

7 Yüz: In the episode "Refakatçiler", Serdar thinks Vildan has appeared to be his "companion" (refakatçi), a spirit which guides a dying soul to the afterlife. She has only appeared as a helper, however, hoping to grant him clarity and peace in his final days by facing his regrets. Additionally, she implies that she can't be his companion, as she has already once served that role (presumably to their son Okan). | |

Battlestar Galactica (2003): Number Six is usually invisible to anyone but Gaius Baltar. Her appearances are carefully crafted so that she can be seen as a figment of Gaius's imagination, although she seems to be able to physically manipulate Gaius's clothing and person, and gives Gaius information that could be interpreted as foreknowledge. In one episode, Gaius Baltar appears to a resurrected Number Six, and plays the part of her Spirit Advisor. Interestingly, neither the "real" Baltar or Number Six have any knowledge of their Spirit Advisor counterparts, until an episode in which Baltar's Spirit Advisor counterpart appears to Baltar. Kara's father showed up to teach her two-thousand-year-old Earth music. |

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, that’s Tanjuro’s second most prominent role in the series other than the knowledge he passed onto Tanjiro in retrospect, as Tanjuro died 1 year before the story began; while other members of the Kamado family appear from beyond to guide Tanjiro and Nezuko, their father Tanjuro is the one who appears more: He is the one to guide Tanjiro out of Enmu’s dream prison, and the one to guide Nezuko towards the final Muzan battle at the end of the series. | |

American Gothic (1995): Merlyn. While Caleb is not the only person who can see and speak to her, she does appear for the most part only as a ghost who advises her brother on how to stay on the straight and narrow. The others who catch sight of her or even interact with her (apart from her brief stint as a mortal in "Rebirth") are Buck (who even aside from being the Big Bad has a lot more powers at his disposal than the average resident of Trinity) and Ben Healy. In the latter's case, this is only because Merlyn herself chooses to appear to him and haunt his dreams, since he knows the truth about how she died and she's trying to appeal to his conscience so he can break free of Buck's influence. No one else, like Gail (who is her cousin as well as Caleb's) or Mrs. Holt, ever sees her. | |

Star Wars Legends: Between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, the very green Luke Skywalker is actively mentored by Obi-Wan's spirit. In Splinter of the Mind's Eye, which was both written and takes place between those two movies, Luke mentions feeling an "agreeably crawly sensation," like someone is standing with him, which he associates with his teacher. At the end of the book, Obi-Wan briefly possesses Luke in order to fight off Darth Vader, since Luke and Leia would both be killed otherwise. In Allegiance, Obi-Wan patiently helps convey to Luke what the Force needs him to do, telling him not to shoot someone who would later become an ally, helping him recognize a "coiled-spring predator" sensation in certain thugs, and generally trying to talk him through things. When Luke, Han, and Chewbacca are locked into separate rooms by the Hand of Judgment, Obi-Wan tells Luke that Leia is in danger, and then has to tell the boy that he's not as trapped as he thinks. Obi-Wan continued to mentor Luke after the first death of the Emperor and redemption of Anakin Skywalker. In "The Truce at Bakura" Obi-Wan tells Luke that it's vital he go on the mission to aid the people of Bakura in fending off a Ssi-Ruk invasion. Obi-Wan also appears several times to Ferus Olin to advise him in Rebel Force. Maybe because Olin's already a Jedi, Obi-Wan can manifest more easily to him than to rookie Luke. A Jedi spirit haunting a space station in Galaxy of Fear can't be detected by anyone who is not Force-sensitive. Tash arrives and is, but she's untrained and can only vaguely sense him. He follows her around trying to warn her away from the many hazards, seriously spooking her in the process. Only when she manages to clear her mind and ignore her fears can he make himself properly seen and heard, and for the rest of the book he tries to help and advise her. Playing off the hint in Attack of the Clones, Yoda is depicted conferring with Qui-Gon Jinn's spirit in several Clone Wars–era novels. In Dark Rendezvous, Qui-Gon provides a crucial insight into his old master Dooku's intentions, and in the Revenge of the Sith novelization, Yoda actually accepts a position as Qui-Gon's apprentice, to learn how to pass into the Force himself. It is implied that Qui-Gon, having been a less conventional Jedi in life, will also teach Yoda how to train Luke to defeat the Emperor, which Yoda himself could not accomplish. At the beginning of Obi-Wan's exile in Star Wars: Kenobi, Qui-Gon has yet to appear to him without Yoda present, but Obi-Wan addresses him in nightly meditations, which serve as Captain's Log entries for the reader. In the last chapter of Dark Lord—The Rise of Darth Vader, Obi-Wan discovers that Vader is still alive, and Qui-Gon finally speaks to him to reassure him that Luke is safe—Vader will never return to Tatooine, the planet that caused him so much pain. Qui-Gon also tells Obi-Wan not to tell Luke about his parentage "until the time is right," leading to Obi-Wan's famous Metaphorically True speech when he is a Spirit Advisor. Anakin briefly becomes one to his grandson Jacen when he tells the young Jedi to stand firm against Omini, the true overlord of the Yuuzan Vong. |

She's a form of spirit that is able to possess his body, and by doing so can speak to him mentally and tutor him on how to use his superpower. Other characters can't hear her (apart from Zia, a telepath) which gains Sebastian some strange looks when he apparently talks to the air. | |

Each time, the setting will always be the train they took to Savannah, being the place where Lee helped Clem to prepare for how to survive. During each of these meetings, Lee will give her some last minute advice and expresses how proud he is. They also meet in her dream after she was shot by Arvo in Season 2 Episode 5, set in the RV back in Season 1. | |

In Ratatouille, a lonely Remy, desperate for someone to talk to, imagines that the spirit of his hero, Auguste Gusteau, is his spirit advisor. However, Remy is fully aware that Gusteau is a figment of his imagination, and Gusteau eventually disappears for good when Remy finally accepts that he can rely on his own judgment. Played for laughs, too; if Remy ever needs reminding that Gusteau is just a figment of his imagination, Gusteau provides it. | |

The opera The Turn of the Screw plays the two ghosts as a not-so-benevolent version of this. Miles can hear Quint and Flora can hear Miss Jessel, while the Governess sees both (except in the final scene) but hears neither. They are not always visible to the audience; in particular, Quint appears as no more than a silhouette in the interscene where he tells Miles to take the letter the Governess has written. | |

Harry and the Shipgirls gives the Kitsune Natsumi Ono a mental echo of her ancestor. It's none other than Tamamo-no-Mae, who wants her reincarnation to avoid the mistakes that she made. | |

In Deadly Advice, Jodie gains a group of spirit advisors in the form of the ghosts of five of Britain's most notorious murderers: Major Herbert Armstrong, Kate Webster, Dr. Crippen, G.J. Smith, and Jack the Ripper. Their advice is of varying quality and practicality. | |

Elohim Eternal: The Babel Code: A group of seven glowing apparitions, the elohim, often give advice to Joshwa and claim that he's destined to become a great king one day. In the ending, they somehow slow the detonation of the infernos in order to give the party enough time to evacuate the residents of Jericho. However, they seem to be communicating remotely, since they mention that they're on the run from something. | |

Coiling Dragon: Doehring Cowart is a 5,000 year old magus who put his soul into the Coiling Dragon. After Linley bonds the ring to himself, he can see and speak to Doehring, whose magical tutoring allows Linley to quickly advance in power. Since he is just a spirit, Doehring is unable to affect the surrounding world, at least not until he sacrifices his existence to free Linley from some assassins' trap. | |

In Deep Secret, Rupert's Mentor Stan is allowed to come back as a ghost in order to advise Rupert, specifically in the task of choosing an apprentice. Although Stan is invisible to most people, the music he listens to is not, leading to a number of people wondering just where that classical music is coming from. | |
