That works!
Perhaps the beings that live on the other side could be wisplike/ethereal in form, and maybe have ways of manipulating the physical world and/or its inhabitants- like a nerfed Bill Cipher. Not omnipotent or all-powerful, but maybe a source of minor shenanigans and/or the previously mentioned " devil deals".
What would also be interesting is if some religions were partly based on the existence of this alternate world- perhaps they'd view it as hell, and the "ghosts" as demons.
Does no-one remember my original OOC experiment with demons? Anyone? No?
I also would like to collapse the spirit planes together, since the original version involved several planes that overlapped each other. This would mean the reapers would need a new job description, and the spooky elder gods a new place in the [unreadable] to hang out and eat souls. However, it means more spirits and other denizens of the Underworld would be in contact with the physical world.
