There be ghosts
A supernatural anomaly has appeared and turned all corpses into vengeful spirits.
The Specters roam the abandoned facilities and mines. They usually ignore the Spacers and Pirates and other people of bad character - but they will attack you. They deal a lot of melee damage if you let them run up to you and may pose a real threat. Electromagnetic weapons will easily know them down - but only for a while, and they take quite a bit to kill. So beware of places with lots of corpses. As a little surprise, every now and then, you may also come across a group of hostiles which have a lost Specter among them.
In technical terms:
This mod will only turn the placed, "decorative" corpses into Specters, the shrivelled dry ones, the frozen ones and some "fresh" looking ones - but not any NPCs that you kill. It will also only affect ones which you come across after installing the mod. The ones you have already seen will remain dead, unless the location resets and loads completely new.
Differences from v1.0 to v2.0:
If you have v1.0 installed, best keep it and install v2.0 additionally. Even though v2.0 internally overwrites the same entries (and adds many more), it is never a good idea to remove a complex mod such as this within the same playthrough - we can never be entirely sure how the game handles the internal references, especially in this "new" generation of the engine. So to avoid any issues, simply add v2.0 additionally and don't touch the previously installed v1.0
"Rare Ghosts" version:
This is an alternative version - install only one version. While the main version of the mod will transform ALL dead bodies into Specters, making it in parts very difficult, this alternative version aims to be a bit more "immersive". I will only turn about 20% of the dead bodies into Specters, and on top of that not all of the Specters will be hostile. Some will be simply wandering around and will not react to you if you leave them in peace. For this version there is also a nude patch available in the optional files section.
Enjoy.

Differences from v1.0 to v2.0:
- There are many more corpses turned into Specters than before, the first version missed out on quite a few.
- The Specters will now level with the player. This way, it's not too hard in the beginning and remains a challenge on higher levels.
- The effects have changed. Even though I preferred the previous ghostFX, there is (without the final version of xEdit and the CK2) no way to remove the effect when the Specters are shot. But the dead Specter bodies lying around were looking weird to me. I solved it with using the removable cloak effect.
- Some of the Specters will drop dead and reveal their dead bodies and loot (see pictures), others may disintegrate.
- You can add an optional nude patch (see optional files) to have all clothes removed from the Specters, which makes them look even more dead in my opinion. And yes, if you install any nude body replacer like Robert S Male Body Replacer for males and STARQUEEN - Starfield Female Skin Textures for females, you will also get rid of their underwear.
- V2.0 has a new file name now: "SpectersOfStarfield - More Ghosts.esm". This is to make sure it will not overwrite v1.0 in case you had v1.0 installed previously (see below).
