Has anyone experienced seeing dead Zois walking around, living back at the house, and walking around the town? Like not ghosts (even though those appear, too). But they are alive again. They don´t appear in the family, but walk around the house, cook, and do all the activities. I did kill them with a cheat, and they came back alive after some time. Like the Martin family, which I wasn´t even playing. I just went to check on them, and I saw David Martin just cooking for himself. Even though I got a notification about his death a couple of days prior, and even buried him. I am holding a funeral for everyone in the city at this point, and they keep coming back.
Same in my game. Must be a bug I suppose? I have not had this in my played family yet because nobody has died so far. But I have several friends of my Zoi‘s who are walking around alive in town despite the funeral I did for them.
In my case this happens in Bliss Bay, so seems to be happening not only in one town.

I had a trick-or-treater who got stuck in the house. They were constantly hungry, but when they got food, it disappeared as they sat down to eat. This kept going until they died from hunger UNDER THE DINING ROOM CHAIR! But then they just rose from the dead, like in horror films when vampires wake up.
inZOI is going to give me nightmares if this carries on.

The only time I had that happen was up until pre-Cahaya.
Basically if you threw a party / wedding / any kind of gathering, it would auto-invite dead family members (usually grandpa/grandma) and they would return alive. Then depending on their chance, would die again at midnight or the next night.
Had not had it happen yet in my 0.4.2 game.
Will keep an eye out.

Well, I tried the black Widow-style gameplay. And I have three ex-husbands who are dead and keep coming back alive, or as ghosts. Plus a mother-in-law who does the same. My house is being haunted constantly, and the soul guide is basically living with us because I keep calling them to send the souls to rest 
So yeah. Don´t let anyone die in your house, don´t marry older Zois, and be prepared when someone dies.
I don´t even want to imagine what the town and the house would look like if I played for 10 generations. All the ghosts and friends just coming back to life decades later.

Has this actually been reported as a bug already? I cannot imagine that this is intended. My city also start to have to many alive dead people walking around.

Well Kirk is joyful that his mom is back in the land of the living. She wont sleep, and is consistently cooking and when she goes to sit down and eat the food slides throug the table and disappears. Kirk made a cake and when she served herself a plate, it disappeared in her hand. I finally had Kirk set the table for 1 and she sat down and eat that.

This is now becoming even more strange. The dead-alive Zois seem to be able to die a second time…
I had this one friend of my Zoi (Luisa Newgone). I did a funeral for her and here is her grave:
After her death she was running around in the city alive, coming to party events etc.
Now a couple of weeks later my Zoi was sad again because somebody had died. I went to the funeral lot and found that her urn is there for a second time:
Not sure if she will run around alive again or if the second time then is final…
I also have several other dead-alive Zois in my save. The ones I am really 100% aware of for like more then 4 in game weeks is Emma Swan (burried right next to the just mentioned Luisa Newgone) and the premade Matthew Collins from the Collins family.
Here is my latest save with the double death Zoi:

@EllaEstella don´t worry, she will be back for sure. I am killing my three ex-husbands with cheats at this point, and they always come back after some time. And they all have their own graves. Unfortunately, I don´t know which save file it is. Maybe I should start a new game and test the dead Zois again?

So, my first ex-husband was apparently alive again (Chulsoo Park). And just died. And ruined my family dinner with my three sons because everyone was suddenly depressed. I went to check who died at the funeral home. But he was already dead and has even a grave.
But even depressed, my Zoi goes on to flirt with people. Because who wants to be sad forever?
I hope these safe files will help.

My two ex-husbands are back alive. I can´t anymore.
You can even see the notification about the passing of one of them that my son got some time ago. But here he is walking. At least he is cleaning the house, which his son never does voluntarily.
I don´t know, my Zoi is single, maybe she will marry one of them again
I am including the save files again.

The saga of ghosts continues.
So, my Zoi couldn´t marry them again or have any romantic interactions with them.
I married them off to other Zois in the city.
Apparently, ghost Zois after coming back to life are very rich. Their needs are different; some are missing. One doesn´t have a sleep urge. The other one is missing sleep, bathroom, and hunger. But they may still need to do those needs now. I have found out that a young woman was haunted by the ghost of the previous tenant of the house (Kyeongtae Lee in Dowon).
And both previously dead Zois now permanently have the task, like ghosts, to go see Claire at the AR library. But they can´t ask her anything afterlife-related. Even though I think they can see other ghosts without using the bell?

@EllaEstella Yes. Or at least I hope they won´t die anytime soon, and if yes, they will now haunt other Zois

Sooo, my son got married and moved to a different house. Two days later, his wife died from overwork. Why is everybody dying, and why don´t they stay dead? The dead Zois are now doing coaches at the fitness class, like Sofia Martin. And probably attending the class, too. I had to use emergency rescue and add another door, because Zois were just stuck.

This is so crazy to read… 
But I am now really afraid as the parents of my young Zoi are reaching an age where they might die soon… I was hoping to bring this save to the next generation but reading what happens in your game @ecaerys I am not really sure I will be able to handle this
