Not very common, I don't think; I reckon it depends on just how peeved the spirit is, though it'll take some time for the ghost to form anyway. But the very act of binding such a spirit probably _would_ force the spirit to become a ghost; after all, it's no longer a "normal departing human spirit", and is probably not a happy camper, neither.

Well, ignoring the sly advert for Colin's crackpot theories about muscular spirits ;-), yah. I think spirits are in fact compelled to Go West, and must have some strong reason to be willing and able to resist this. Or be externally counter-compelled, as in this case.
