Are you sure this wasn't just the corpse that gave rise to the ghost?

Not sure how he would mistake the corpse for the ghost, and yeah, what the heck on the ghost drowning?

As usual, do you have the save? I don't have a mac myself though.

My guess is that the dwarf's profession name changed from Peasant (or whatever) to Ghost before the corpse was found, making the announcement misleading.

I agree with Footkerchief. However, it is about time Toady change this characteristic. This happens all over the game. Nothing more strange and hilarious than being killed by a beekeeper mummy. Professions shouldn't be titles (although we are entering in suggestions territory here)

Assuming my above explanation is correct, the rest is Suggestions territory.
