After this time, Jon dealt with being a ghost himself alive on Earth, not truly being the once fully alive version of himself. Davos recruited Lady Melisandre to resurrect Jon Snow from the dead, which she successfully did at the beginning of Game of Thrones season 6. For the next episode, Jon Snow was declared dead, though Ghost protected his body. After being betrayed by men of the Night’s Watch as their Lord Commander, Jon was murdered in cold blood when several men stab him in the chest. While Jon calling his direwolf Ghost may have just been because he had an all-white coat, the name takes on much further symbolism in Jon’s Game of Thrones story. When Jon Snow joined the Night’s Watch, Ghost became his only real connection outside of his siblings and father, even more so since he was never ostracized as a bastard with his direwolf.
