Following up on this...
I think that the ghosts of people who die on my lot will never visit me if my household is full. I've had three deaths now on my lot, their urns have all been on display for a fair bit of time, and yet I haven't had a single visit from any of them. I definitely haven't released their spirits to the netherworld, either.
I'm guessing maybe they're considered "locals" and thus have to use one of the 8 household slots while making an appearance...?
I dunno, either that or I've just had a really bad run of RNG. I know from other playthroughs that they tend to show up a lot more frequently than this.
