"You might witness some strange phenomena. Your R-grade cyber rig has an experimental perception enhancement that can theoretically detect residual psychic emanations. These emanations traditionally come from the recently dead. Literature might call them ghosts. I call them self-hypnotic defects in the R-grade unit. Don't let it distract you from the job at hand."
~ Janice Polito


Shock2 ghost

Ghosts are visions encountered in System Shock 2. Due to the R-Grade Cyber Interface, people equipped with it can see visions of the recently dead due to the cybernetics enhancing psychic perceptions.

They are mainly encountered in earlier levels with none seen in the later levels.

  • Ghosts also make an appearance in the Bioshock series, being a large part of the first game and a lesser part in the sequels. In Bioshock they are visions of the past much like in System Shock 2. In Bioshock 2 they appear in one of the trailers and there were once plans for visions of the past but they were cut. Lastly in Bioshock Infinite they appear in the form of an enemy called the Siren.
