This is all I found on the Ninjago explore site:

"Alongside Ninjago are quite a few different dimensions that all work in different ways. Like the Secret Dimension where Lord Garmadon sent himself to become strong enough to control all four of the Golden Weapons. That was a pretty bad place, and the Cursed Realm is even worse. It is a prison for souls, and no one has ever escaped it."

So I guess I was wrong and the cursed realm is kinda like Hell, or at least like the afterlife prison. Now we can make two categories of ghosts in the cursed realm: the one's who were banished there while alive and the ones whose spirits went there when they died. The first category includes people like Garmadon and Arcturus. The second includes Morro and probably the other ghost generals and the very bad people.

I am not arguing whether Clouse died in the cave collapse, I am just pointing out that there is no way he could've became a ghost without dying. What if Clouse made it into the cursed realm both ways. First he was tried to send Garmadon through but failed and he was sucked in and then he died and we sent there again.

Just by that time the cursed realm was destroyed. What would happen if the people going to Hell couldn't go because it was destroyed (entirely hypothetical and could never reasonably happen.) They would have to go somewhere. The likely options are they go to the underworld (the middle ground for dead Ninjago citizens) or they would have to stay in earth. If he was sent to the underworld then he could've found some way out, there are tons, and then the paths reconverge. From either place he could've eventually gone in search of the lamp.

I kinda don't like this theory though because it has too many holes.
