I was looking for a film my father mentioned in vague terms, which meant I didn’t have high hopes of finding it. But then I came across this ‘thread’ (more of a letter trail) and became curious. There seem to be at least two films that everyone thinks of as one. My father, for what it’s worth, also remembers the baseball bat subplot, which doesn’t seem to feature in Sole Survivor(1970). The basic plot is about survivors of a plane crash turning into ghosts without knowing it. A bit like Flight 7500 (2014).

This seems to be the summary of the conclusion:
‘The title of the movie is "Sole Survivor", however there are three movies with that title. There is a "Sole Survivor" with William Shatner released in 1970. (This is not the one we are looking for!) There is also a "Sole Survivor" released in 1982 with the same kind of plot (This is not the one we are looking for either!). The "Sole Surviver" we need was a CBS made-for-TV movie. It does star Richard Basehart, Lou Antonio, Alan Caillou, Larry Casey, Brad David, Vince Edwards, and directed by Paul Stanley. As I understand, it is almost impossible to retrieve a copy of this movie, unless you can find an underground dealer that has it recorded.’ (Sic, copy-pasted).
But it feels improbable that there would be three films with the same plot and the same title, surely?
