 Excerpt from the Starfleet Academy training manual for exploration of
 unknown habitats:

 EXCERPT BEGINS

 In approximately 200 years of exploration, Starfleet vessels have
 encountered 83 instances of the phenomenon commonly known on Earth as a
 "haunting."  Hauntings can come in various shapes and sizes.  In some cases,
 it was once believed that the spirits of the dead can "rise again" in order
 to disrupt the activities of the living.  In extreme cases, these spirits of
 the dead were said to possess the bodies of the living and force them to
 take actions.  Other times, these spirits confine themselves to simply
 making unexplained noises, causing unexplained sights or smells, or
 otherwise making a nuisance out of themselves.

 In these modern times, of course, it should be noted that all 83 of these
 phenomenon were later explained through other means.  In the case of
 possessions, each of those possession cases was later explained in part by
 the activites of unknown alien intelligences, often non-corporeal ones.
 While these possession cases are often extremely frightening and
 disorienting, they are often benign.  In the cases where they are not
 benign, it should be noted that Starfleet officers should take care not to
 cause serious physical damage to those possessed unless it is absolutely
 necessary.  Seek ways to drive the possessing lifeforms out of the beings
 they may choose to possess without resorting to physical violence or
 permanent harm.  Often, the most evil-seeming intelligence can be reasoned
 with.

 In the cases where spirits of the dead have supposedly risen up in physical
 form, these again were often explained through the actions of unknown alien
 intelligences.  Ditto the cases where non-physical representations such as
 sights, smells, or other manifestations are noted.  Again, be aware that all
 83 cases noted in Starfleet records to date have been explained.

 It is important that the potential Starfleet officer realize that while a
 situation they find themselves in may seem inexplicable, it can nearly
 always be explained through logical means.  The important thing to remember
 is that the Starfleet officer involved must keep his, her, or its head, and
 not succumb to panic or unreasoning fear.  No matter how inexplicable the
 situation you may one day find yourself in, 100% of prior situations of this
 nature have been explained; chances are yours will too in the end.
