I've had the same thing happen to me often.  Apparently in a previous game
you (with the same name) got the shopkeeper angry and even though the shopkeeper
pounded your previous incarnation, he doesn't forget anyone he doesn't like.

Don't know if this is a bug or feature!

Maybe the ghost zapped the shopkeeper with a wand of invisibility before
dying, and you ran into him by mistake?

Sounds as if the ghost (before he died) zapped the shopkeeper with a wand
of invisibility.  He killed the player, creating the ghost, and was still
pissed when you walked in.

	Someone probably tried out a wand of make invisible on the shopkeeper
and died in the shop.  Invisible shopkeepers are a real drag.

	ActuAlly, you forgot the absence of a visible shopkeeper.
I figure that the "ghost" had used a Wand of Invisibility on the
shopkeeper before being pounded. If so then it may not even be memory,
an attempt to move through an invisible shopkeeper would be
interpreted as an attack, that is the guy attacked th keeper simply
by trying to enter the room.

Sounds like something I once did. I walked into a shop and, through a series
of misadventures, zapped the shopkeeper with a wand of invisibility. You have
run into a ghost level where someone has done this. You probably tried to walk
into the apparently empty (but for the ghost and dog) shop but marched straight
into the invisible shopkeeper.

Oh, come on it's now clear to everybody what happened! If you want to avoid
future misadventures in what seems to be empty shops -- se if you get the
message "Welcome in <name> <type> shop" upon entering. If you do then the
shop isn't left unguarded.
