What makes you think that you could possibly remain an earthbound spirit and ignorant of your bodily death? That's an interesting, but sad idea. Is there something in life that you are strongly attached to?
What makes you think that you couldn’t, or do you think ghosts become ghosts by choice?

Perhaps paranormal investigators, who have more experience and knowledge in ghostly occurences, will be less likely to become stuck in a repetitious cycle of reenacting our daily living lives in our afterlives.
I don’t think so...

It's my opinion that the stories from mythology, religion, and fiction, including our own personal experiences with ghosts, serve not only as lessons about the afterlife but also as metaphors for how we live our lives now. Some ghost stories have motivated me to resolve personal issues. I don't want to haunt some location for a hundred years before I cross over and then later be reincarnated to repeat the same lessons.
Since you’re the one who started this thread, I’m glad it works for you...

Anyway, those are just some of my thoughts, for what they're worth, if anything at all.
...for what it’s worth ...I’m gonna go with not anything at all.
