A Hyper Ghost, not to be confused with a Super Ghost, is a being that has died twice without being granted Super Death. Such a being is usually[1] still conscious in some form.
Hyper Ghosts are, in a sense, more dead than Super Ghosts: they generally cannot leave the Realm of the Dead as doing so would cause them to experience Hyper Death and thus cease to remain extant; their second death generally leaves them disentangled and with very little ability to interact with their surroundings.
In rare cases, Hyper Ghosts have been known to possess other beings, but just as ghosts possess living beings, a Hyper Ghost can only possess a dead or denatured being. This includes Super Ghosts, but any attempts at possessing one are generally doomed to failure without assistance from a third party. It is much more common for a Hyper Ghost to possess a corpse instead; sometimes, this happens when someone attempts to create a Hemigod and mistakes a Hyper Ghost for Wet Ghoul, an act which instead engenders a Quasi-Hemigod.
For some beings, Hyper-Ghosthood serves as a means of escape: a denatured being can attempt to voluntarily undergo denaturation a second time in the very moment they would be granted Super Death; most attempts at this are unsuccessful, however.
In very rare instances, a Hyper Ghost with a particularly strong consciousness may undergo denaturation a third or even a fourth time without experiencing Hyper Death; there is next to no difference between such beings and other Hyper Ghosts, for which reason they are generally simply referred to as second-grade and third-grade Hyper Ghosts.
Such beings have been known to exist since antiquity and are known by many names, such as 聻.
