I did actually have a theory a long while ago, regarding ghosts. Artie once said that ghsts don't exst, only entities mistaken for them. We know that esidual auras are part of this, but I suggest a new sub-class of artifact. Revenants. Bodies or parts that become artifacts at the point of death that all share a common ability. They poject an image of the deceased. The specifics of the image can vary, weather it can interact with the world or just replay events, sentience or instinct, telekinesis or causing static interference.

Such bodies are stored in the Graveyard section in coffins lined with purple cloth (we need a shorter name for that, I have something in mind there, too). I imagine John Brown's Body and Elvis' Hipbne have these effects, Elvis' due to the amount of sightings. It's likely these artifacts would decompose, but as long as some remains exist then they could keep going. For more fleshy artifacts, I thing they'd self-mummify as a way of preservation, dried out by the amount of energy they contain.
