  Comments:
This word has nothing to do with suicide and everything to do with being "self bound" to a specific location after death, either because of strong attachment or confusion over one's own post-mortem existentiality. Suicide victims may often become such spirits, but using 'suicide' in the definition is incorrect and misleading.
