Another couple o' thoughts:

1) the Anchor as a Hindrance, rated 1-5, depending on how portable/easily
destroyed the Anchor is (this could
   cause quite a few arguments as to what would be rated as what).  If the
Anchor is a place, the rating would
   be based on how much "ranging space" the ghost would have.  An ancestral
ghost could potentially go to a 4-5
   rating, especially if he's got a lot of living kin scattered about
(depending on the nature of the haunting in
   question).

2) Would a beginning PC ghost have to pay an Arcane Background cost?
Probably so... I would also strongly
   recommend avoiding mixing another Arcane Background with this (unless
you're running with a VERY experienced
   posse at the time).  A soul-blast-throwin'-ghost: mightly ugly.  :)
