 +//It occurs to me that there are just different names for ghosts. A corruptor and a Dybbuk are essentially the same thing. Also, Ibbur should probably be grouped under ghosts, since they are essentially summoned ghosts who fight in the spirit world or animate dead bodies for Kabbalists.  Maybe we use these as special "flavors" of these spirits?//   
 + 
 +**We can use the different ones at different HD, and with different monster types, like I did with Common Ghosts, divided into Haunts, Poltergeists, Wraiths and Specters, each of which had different strengths and powers,  you might make the Dybbuk more powerful than a corruptor, and have them try to completely possess their victims, commit a crime and leave, unlike the corruptors who are individually small potatoes, but add up to trouble?**
