This is a great subject. Lydia needs to chime in on this, more.
Again, though I may have said it on another thread, I think it takes enoremous provocation to rouse a ghost from whatever unimaginable
"other place" they normally inhabit... perhaps a limbo in which they rest in peace. Think how much it may take sometimes to wake you up!
Barnabas leaving the coffin in 1897 (though I don't know that part of the story) would not be enough. If there were dead vampire victims then, the yes, after a couple of those, Sarah might notice. And by the incident with the family member, later, Sarah might be ready to intervene. But how do we know what different conditions there may be for Sarah, in the afterlife, compared to 1967? Maybe she's not as connected to the living world at that point, for whatever reason.
Midnite: "Precognition" yes, but that doesn't necessarily extend to future centuries. Some living individuals in DS get a sense of imminent danger, and are right, but they still don't have a road map to what's going to happen in a hundred years. Anyway, David keeps going on about how "nobody knows" what it is, or when, or how.... "nobody" might very well include Sarah. She didn't give specifics after all... maybe she was telling all she knew.
I'm glad it's this vague. It's good to discuss this, but if we knew for sure it would be boring.
