Those seem to me as the most obvious responses. Using your "Worship Storm Pantheon" is always an option, of course. The difficulty when asking for Divine Aid is pretty high, though.
I am not sure, however, that the average Orlanth initiate hero is meant to be able to handle ghosts very well.
"Beware of ghosts and spirits.
The dead and immortal despise us.
Dead they be, flee from them,
Let them be, flee from them,
Unless you are holy, magical or inspired."
-- Orlanthi Folkpoem (Apple Lane p 14)
This is perhaps not a very enlightening answer. But I do believe that ghosts should be dangerous and feared for being the unnatural beings that they are.

Suddenly I am overwhelmed by these Watership Down-vibes.
