Remove ghosts from the game (or let us disable them).
Random elements are supposed to be there to challenge the player, not unavoidably kill them. It's the same story with the jackal packs and adders on D:1. It's not a challenge, it's just unfair. Sigmund is already chasing me down a hallway tossing bolts of flame and forcing me to make MR rolls to avoid being confused. I don't need to run into Balthazar the Amateur Minotaur of Trog while I'm at it.
And don't say "play offline". I play trunk so that means I have to redownload every day and deal with constant crashes (offline autosaves every time there's a floor change, unlike on a server, forcing me to restart from the last time I went up some stairs). In addition every time I splat something I have to delete the bones. There's a problem no matter what.
If some players actually do like this feature, that's fine: just give us an option to disable it (preferably one which is set to "Disabled" by default). The players that like ghosts can play the way they want and the players that don't like ghosts can play without worrying (as much) about getting randomly forced into an unwinnable situation and murdered.
I will report any comment that talks about how to deal with ghosts in-game by running away or reducing the problem by playing undead. This discussion is solely about the removal of ghosts. I haven't been the best about not derailing my posts, but I will be here.
