=== Ghost with physical body === The draugr is a "corporeal ghost"<ref name=williams_howard/> with a physical, tangible body and not an "imago,"{{sfnp|รrmann Jakobsson|2009|p=284}} and in tales, it is often delivered a "second death" by the destruction of the animated corpse.{{Refn|"The will appears to be strong, strong enough to draw the ''hugr'' [animate will] back to one's body. These reanimated individuals were known as ''draugr''. However, though the dead might live again, they could also die again. ''Draugrs'' die a "second death" as Chester Gould calls it, when their bodies decay, are burned, dismembered or otherwise destroyed".}}<ref name=smith_gregg_a/>
