It's for tropical areas.

Do ghosts Party People only appear in haunted areas?

[CinnibarMan]

'Aint no party like a Ghostly Mason party, 'cause a Ghostly Mason party don't stop!

[Herbiie]

This is actually drawn from real life too. I've heard about stuff like this in India... I think.

Yeah it's called the Monsoon, torrential rain for a few weeks/months.

And "The Wet" in Australia.

I LOVE DWARF FORTRESS!!!!!!!

I LOVE DWARF FORTRESS!!!!!!!

SO DO I!!!

This is just another reason to keep your dwarves happy up until their death. Ghost parties sound awesome! If it really does affect the percentage of ghosts that become murderous and kill other dwarves, it just gets better.

Wait wait, what about migrants? I know for a fact I tend to kill 8 out of 10 migrants who come to my fort. My latest fort had around 130 dead migrants in a pit.... that'll be ALOT of ghosts

 Not every un-interred Dwarf comes back as a ghost.  It's hard to say what causes them to come back just yet, though !!SCIENCE!! is being done on the subject as we type.

We must discover all the details regarding the formation of Party People as well as the safety of allowing them to form.  (maybe bury the bodies of the mean Partiers and leave out the bodies of the awesome partiers)

[Sphalerite]

So, Ghosts are still considered dwarves, at least to the degree of being able to organize parties.

This raises all sorts of interesting questions about what else ghosts can do.

Can a ghost be elected mayor?  If a mandate fails, is it possible for a ghost to be picked for Justice?  Will cats adopt ghosts?  When your liaison comes by and offers to make a dwarf into a Baron, can you suggest a ghost for the position?

So much !!Science!! to do...

I love euphemisms:

Partiers
Cotton Candy
Clown Car
Stick
Died in a flaming pit of magma surrounded by the bones of his heroes...

Actually, supernatural party rooms should become yet another dwarven standard along with the arena! A grand hall where the only table/statue used for a meeting hall exists. You throw the skeletons and zombies, maybe some other horrors, down in it and drop unwanted migrants in to die and party for all eternity. Also making sure to inter the bodies of those that have become murderous so they don't actually manage to kill anyone else... Remember to give them some booze and food occasionally.

Strange, I got an miner killed by Cave-in but no ghost raised... What's going on?

[Deon]

Are you in an evil/haunted biome?
