hey I need help creating some ghost characters (e.g. how they died prompts etc. ) if anyone has ideas that would be awesome!

You could incorporate all sorts of different kinds of deaths so that your readers start to seriously think I short life can be… freak accidents, somebody who did something totally dumb, murder, suicide, somebody who sacrificed their life for another, old age, sickness in childhood or youth or adulthood or middle age or old age, natural disasters, war, famine, ANYTHING.

Need anything more specific for those categories?

A ghost who committed suicide subtly making people's lives better in simple ways (keeping coffee warm, eliminating bad dreams, filling their bathtub with mac&cheese)
A ghost who died in an accident giving people a mental jerk whenever they're about to do something like walk in front of a moving car (on accident)
A ghost seer giving people deja vu
The ghost of a thief casually making the path easier for other thieves when breaking into a house
A ghost who died in war slightly redirecting projectiles or (dis)arming mines to create/reduce death on the field, depending on whether they're malevolent or not

@Masterkey and @Lord_Dunconius those are both amazing idea! thank you so much! :-)
