On their turn, the player may place their ghost as a second follower on a second feature of the tile they just placed. This means that, in the same turn, a player can place two followers on different features of the newly placed tile.
When the player takes their ghost back, they can use it again in a future turn. The ghost can also be placed as the only follower in a turn and always counts as a normal follower.

Tips for Winning
