Souls. They're souls from -- from Hell.
History
Hell ghosts are like normal ghosts, which are the spirits of people who remain connected to the mortal realm, but as souls from Hell they can either manifest as ghosts or inhabit corpses, reanimating them as zombies. All the souls from Hell were released by Chuck / God, who decided to end the world after killing Jack Kline. These spirits include ghosts vanquished by the Winchesters over the years.
Characteristics
Hell ghosts, due to being neither full-fledged demons or normal ghosts, take on a more skeletal, incorporeal appearance after escaping Hell. Souls are also able to manifest into their human appearance (more or less).
Powers and abilities
- Flight – Unlike typical ghosts, souls from Hell can take on an incorporeal skeletal form and attain flight
- Superhuman strength – Souls of the damned are just as strong as normal ghosts, and can easily overpower a fully grown person.
- Possession – Like demons and ghosts, souls from Hell can possess people and objects.
Weaknesses
- Angel blades – Contact with an angel blade can eject a spirit in the same manner as iron.
- Iron – Contact with iron can keep them at bay, as well as eject the spirits from whatever body they may be possessing.
- Salt – Spirits cannot cross salt lines and can be dissipated with rock salt.
- Smiting – Castiel was able to smite the spirits from their possessed corpses, forcing them to be ejected.
- Spells – Certain spells can blast spirits out of their possessed bodies, as well as trap them within a perimeter.
Episodes
14.20 Moriah
After Castiel calls on God to help deal with a soulless Jack,[1] He appears with a solution -- a weapon that will kill Jack at the cost of the shooter's life. Dean takes the weapon, and tracks Jack and Castiel to a cemetery. Dean ultimately refuses to use the weapon. Chuck tries to motivate him to kill Jack in exchange for reviving Mary, to no avail. Sam realizes that Chuck has been watching them, and has manipulated the Winchesters their whole lives for His amusement. When the Winchesters no longer want any part of Chuck's sick story, Chuck kills Jack Himself and starts to leave. Sam uses the weapon to shoot Chuck, hitting Him in the shoulder, which enrages Him. Acquiescing to the Winchesters' demands, He tells them the story is over and welcomes them to the end.
The sky goes dark, and souls from Hell erupt from a crack in the ground. Several ghosts previously defeated by the Winchesters appear nearby: a man pulls his car over upon seeing the Woman in White aka Constance Welch[2]; a mother opens the door to find John Wayne Gacy in his Pogo the Clown outfit[3]; and Bloody Mary, aka Mary Worthington[4], appears in a young girl's mirror.
In the cemetery, Castiel and the Winchesters are surrounded by a horde of zombies. They arm themselves as best they can as the zombies descend upon them.
15.01 Back and to the Future
Overwhelmed, Sam, Dean and Castiel fight off the horde of possessed corpses, using their iron bars to force the souls out of the bodies. Escaping to a nearby crypt, the horde attempt to break in, but cannot due to the iron doors. With the sudden arrival of Belfegor, the demon offers his assistance in dealing with the zombies. Performing a spell using cemetery dirt and angel blood, Belphegor is able to blast all the souls out the bodies.
