n i no yea yea last time u gbs said op don't think so much but bear with me

what if while time traveling you die in the past ok

do u spawn as a ghost in the past like back then when you time traveled or do you appear as a ghost in your own time?

n if you are a ghost in the past do you keep being a ghost in the past all the way until the past is the future where youc ame from?

and what if you meET YOUR OWN GHO"ST IN THE FUTURE? how many ghosts are there?

(wish i had :science: for the tag here but i only have the word SCIENCE)

Your ghost appears in the past because you created a seperate timeline by changing history.

Your ghost can only wear old timey clothes and cannot play any videogames.

Your ghost could possess another person and that would allow you to have sex with your past self if we're talking Timecop rules.

i m thinkin more like quantum leap style but more realistic like say scott bakula died in 1950s like is he around when dean stockwell fucks up his marriage with his wife like hyelling all HEY HEY STOP YUORE BYMY FRIENDD

but ovviously not like qauntum leap in that scott vagkula is not a vghost in that show he is a quantum traveler NOT a time traveler (we talked this over in class and everybody is pretty clear about it tho i thought it was a pretty cool tpoic for a short paper)

Nap Ghost
Ghosts aren't bound to any earthly timeplane because they don't have a timeline (unlike our physical bodies). There is only ever one of any ghost, and even if your ghost went back in time to a place you knew you'd been earlier, you wouldn't meet your past ghost self.
This also explains why you can't kill yourself in the past. Your past self is already dead because your ghost (spirit) is in your present self. Killing it is like killing a zombie.
