Do this...

Go to the Triumphs screen
Go into Lore
Go to Ghost Stories

...and read the stories you’ve unlocked.

I’ve read a lot more than I have collected in game, and while there’s a few bright or fun ones (like Ghost Community Theater Presents) many if not most of them are sad, tragic, and sometimes even terrifying!

For instance, there’s one about a Guardian who thinks his fate of being called to fight and die again and again against impossible odds for reasons and authorities he does not understand is far worse than simply remaining long dead and forgotten... so he seeks out Ghosts that have not yet found their Guardians, and to spare those potential Guardians a fate like his own, he kills the Ghosts he encounters and attaches them to a chain which he drags along behind him!

And that’s just one of a couple dozen similarly chilling stories. It’s interesting how much work Bungie put into fleshing out the Ghosts in the lore this time around. Because of that, I’m just a little bit more aware of what it means each time I find those dead Ghosts. The Ghost Stories book really goes to show the darker tone that Forsaken has.
