I was fairly surprised by the whole ghosts things - it seemed quite un-RJ-ish, considering how his magic normally feels more scientific than mystical. It actually kind of reminded me of Fain's work, especially that town So Habor, though I think something as big as this is probably beyond Fain.
As for Morraine - its possible. I still tend to believe that she's alive, in 'Finn Land, and that she's going to be rescued by Thom (and probably Olver too). The emphasis on Tom reading and re-reading his letter from Moraine in Book 10 seem to suggest it might happen soon. Not sure how, but the tower of Genjdai (OK, can't spell that), looks like the probable route. Its been mentioned too many times for it never to be used.
Oh, and as for book 11, I feel I don't really care about the wait to be honest. Book 10 was frankly poor, and while I hope the next one reclaims former glories, I'm no longer desperate for more, like I was earlier in the series.
