I love that episode. I always forget about it, but you really see all of Sam and Dean's interactions differently when you go in knowing they're dealing with a ghost.
Also, wow, so long ago. And so much has changed for them. BOYS.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

And it's not so much us all getting it one way (although we're so damned right), but one of the poster writes SPN books, and he had the script, and WE'RE SO DAMNED RIGHT.
Kradical? (Because apparently, I have only had enough coffee to spell his LJ name.)

On a purely tactical note, if the guys would just use a handgun when facing off against these much-stronger monsters instead of immediately closing to hand-to-hand distance they'd probably end up being thrown into walls and captured a lot less. Most of these things would be a lot easier to stake/stab/decapitate if they had to worry about a couple of shot-out kneecaps or some hollowpoints rattling around in their skulls.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Unless they did what demons do and just keep coming at you. They seem to take dramatically less damage unless you hit them with their weakness.

Also, if Sam and Dean took out every demon efficiently, there would be a lot less action on the show.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Mary was burned to death, so not technically cremated and definitely not salted. And she was a ghost.

Do we know how burnt she was, though? I mean, she died in a fire, but that doesn't have to be as thorough as the destruction of a salt and burn or a cremation.

Ghosts go ka-whoosh pretty quickly into the salt-and-burns, but perhaps that's more due to the ritual purification combo of salt and fire than the actual degree of damage to the corpse.
