In my opinion making her a ghost would just be adding another cliche and would make it even more predictable. Cliches aren't really a terrible thing, because eventually you run out new things to write about. The problem is the presentation. Whenever you keep presenting the same scheme for a ghost story, it gets boring, however if you manage to keep the Ghost stuff fresh, it works.

That's my take on things.
