Some of the ghosts wandering the Phantom Train offer to join the party. They aren't particularly powerful, but they do have a one-use Possess Command that can take out any single Monster. Keep in mind the ghost isn't just killed when using this attack, but removed from the party entirely.

If Shadow is not in the party, you can have two ghosts join you. The second has a bit less HP and starts three Levels lower than the first, but still has the same Possess Command.

Ghosts love to cast Fire and will also use the more powerful Fire Wall. Perhaps even more dangerous is their Pause attack, which inflicts Stop. Fortunately they aren't very tough.

GHOSTS are nasty Undead that hit extremely hard. They Paralyze their victims, but damage is your primary concern. Since nothing else in the Sunken Shrine is vulnerable to Fire, FIR3 can be put to good use against GHOSTS. The Mage Staff and Light Axes are also useful, and will not cost any Spell slots.

Sunken Shrine
Ghosts are nasty Undead that hit extremely hard. Like most Undead, they paralyze their victims, but the real danger here is their high Attack score. A high Defense doesn't help either. Fortunately, the Sunken Shrine provides a number of items that can help against Ghosts, including the Light Axes and Mage's Staff. And as the only creature in the Sunken Shrine that is weak to Fire rather than resistant to it, your Black Wizard can freely toss off Fire3 Spells to take them down fast. And you'll want to take them out fast, since it is impossible to run from them.

Ghost are undead, making them vulnerable to Fire and Cure Spells. They will Drain the Character with the highest HP. and Vanish (making them unhittable) when attacked. Keeping those attacks going can prevent them from using Drain.
