With the addition of non-human (animal) ghosts and the bit on guardian geists, I could only think of the mythology of a church grim. A church grim is a dog that was buried as the first resident of a graveyard so it would rise as the guardian bound to the graveyard. Which to me sounds very much in line with the described guardian geists.
To build on this further, an animal ghost can also drink from the river to raise its rank as other ghosts can and possibly become a geist in other ways. Which among other things makes me wonder, what effect could it have if a sin eater had a 'church grim' rather than a more standard type of geist?
