What happens to ghosts when a house burns down?

If a house is haunted by ghosts, and it burns down, what happens to the ghosts? I've never heard of homeless ghosts before.

    they stay on the land until A house is built agan. It is kinda wired yes, but It is true. Some as of when they die, they can't move from that spot.

    actually i am a gost hunter and the facts that i have found in my research are that they will stay on the grounds of the land they died. Only if they have been left alone for some time. If the people that lived in the house stayed there for 18 to 20 years before it burns, the ghost will be tempted to follow. But they wont follow the people for very long

    It depends on why the ghost is there in the first place. If it is attached to the land, it may stay in the same area. If its attached to the people who lived there, it may follow them. If it is attached to that house specifically, it may move on.

    L0L. A ghost is a spirit and a spirit can not burn. It might just follow you, you never know.

    I agree with the first, and I think they stick around on the property waiting for the next building to chill out in.

    I think they have to leave the area and go haunt the nearby woods or somethin.

    They get hot under the collar and start to haunt campfires in retaliation.
