Winds Are Ghosts | comment |
For millennia, wind has seemed mysterious. You can't see it, but you can feel it and sometimes even hear it. Some cultures attribute supernatural forces or divinity to the wind. One instance of this is that wind carries the spirits of the deceased. This is Older Than Feudalism. Many cultures throughout the centuries have associated the wind with the supernatural. The word "spirit" is even derived from "breath"/"blow". This is still seen in words like "respiration". Even in the Latin language, and other languages too, there are links between the idea of breathing, wind, and having/being a spirit. Compare to Stars Are Souls for another natural phenomenon associated with the afterlife and Healing Winds for winds having a health-giving element. See also Chunky Updraft when the source of the wind isn't paranormal. |

City of Bones by Martha Wells: Winds are associated specifically with evil souls, since good people are believed to rest in peace beneath the earth after death. One veteran traveler gets nervous at sudden breezes, having seen the frigid remains of ghosts' victims. It's ultimately revealed that the "ghosts" are evil spiritual entities from Another Dimension, not human souls. | |

In the 1994 version of Little Women, as Jo sits by Beth's deathbed, the wind suddenly picks up outside and Jo goes to close the window. Once she closes it, the wind gusts more strongly than ever. Then she turns around to find that Beth has died. The clear implication is that the gust of wind was her spirit leaving. | |

According to dog lore in Doglands, free-spirited dogs never truly die. They just become the wind. It's left ambiguous whether this is true or not, but the ending where Furgul's mentor Brennus dies and later a huge gust of wind helps Furgul at the last minute implies it is. | |

In the Hebrew language, ghost and wind are the same word: רוח (rucha). This is why in different translations of The Bible, the same phrase from the Book of Genesis is rendered either as "the spirit of God" or "a wind from God." | |

Ghost of Tsushima: In a flashback, Jin is told by Yuriko that the wind is his deceased father's spirit guiding him from beyond. The wind is used as a navigation system throughout the game and starts blowing unusually hard during some especially difficult moments for Jin, but it is left ambiguous if his father is really reaching out to help him, or if he's just ascribing undue importance to natural phenomena. | |

Survivors: Dogs use "scents" as another word for "spirit". When someone dies, their scent changes and their spirit blends with others in the air. The Great Howl is a spiritual ceremony that dogs and wolves do on full moons. It creates a peaceful bliss amongst the pack and helps strengthen their bonds. When a particularly powerful Great Howl occurs, it gets windy and dogs can feel the Spirit-Dogs amongst them. |
