So turns out someone pretty much guessed the true nature of the ‘ghosts’ very accurately back in the comments of episode 7: https://i.imgur.com/EKahhl6.jpg

I for one am so glad that gloves got their gloves back. A masterful gloves arc indeed. I am so glad I read the manga

I would have to re-watch all the episodes to figure out what's going on. I watched each one, but never grasped the plot.

Will we get another Q&A thread for Shadowstone Park like we got after Charlie the Unicorn completed?

Lark... killed everyone... Holy Shit

[u/HawlSera]

After thinking on it, I think nil is full of shit, now wallets clear that the ghosts are not ghosts but actually just recordings of those who have died, recordings that some house will have their Consciousness intact.

I don't think crossing over causes the spirits to be deleted, I actually think it just makes the program inactive. First off, the aliens are morons, and these people discovered how to cross over on accident through random Mass guessing without trying to die. It feels like deleting an entire Consciousness is something that should require admin privileges.

I think the program merely becomes an active and can be reactivated in the future if there is a need for it. There are a couple of reasons why I think this.

First off we saw gloves disappear, and I know that he said he only pretended to cross over, but how do we know that's actually the case? What if you just reactivated his program, and he thought that was him still needing to get his gloves in order to cross over. People not fully understanding what they're dealing with is a common theme of this story.

The other is that the ghost version of lark, upon first Watch seems to delete himself in front of his fleshy counterpart, likely out of Shame for getting his deceased loved ones double killed by trying to help.

But on retrospect, if ghost Lark really wanted to atone, he would ask regular lark not to try to cross over anymore spirits, instead he just appears in front of himself and vanishes.

What I think happened is that the mothership program that makes the ghosts did a scan and realized that Lark was still alive, upon realizing that Lark was still alive and left didn't need to be memorialized, ghost Lark was deactivated to be reactivated upon the actual death of lark.
