Shouldn't they, like, burn the hat?
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

It reminds me that the Show remembers how to have characters interact and trust each other and fight gorgeously. And I like Benny. He's not killing people and was even trying to right some wrongs.
A world of yes.

Very good point...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Is it still considered a personal item if you left it somewhere before you died? Because if so, yeah. But if anything a person ever owned could keep them around as a ghost there needs to be a lot of property going up in flames every time someone dies.

Also a good point. I'd say if you give something to someone, it becomes theirs, so yeah. I wonder whether all their ghost killing tracks that way. Not enough to do the research, because lazy.

t lurking, because I'm over a season behind
Most ghost-lore is centered around it being an item that was important to the ghost. Which means that for future reference, if I don't become an immortal vampire witch queen, my top hat and Clovis are going to be the haunted items.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
at this point I don't trust the writers not to pull character retcons out of their ass.
What would make you think that at this very early point they would be changing what their goal originally was with Amelia and Benny (and Cas)? And why would you think it's a retcon or an asspull--there's absolutely no way we'd ever know, because we've had one episode where Benny said he wouldn't. They haven't established enough with any of the three of them that we'd ever know without inside information that pretty muh anything would be a retcon.
I know it's the thing to do to think that showrunners are just being convenient and reactive, but what is giving you the impression that "at this point" Carver would do anything at all? Has he displayed major showrunning/plotting asspulls in the past? How has he established a pattern for anything 6 episodes in? And even if it had still been in Gamble's hands, what would she have done in two seasons and 6 episodes to earn the distrust.?

What they have done with the boys since the beginnng of the season. It is not just a matter of not liking it. It does not make sense to me.

But what does that have to do with retconning in general, and retconning Benny in particular?
