Purgatory, you mean purgatory
It is not hell. It's a staircase to heaven where you get purged of your sins as you climb up.
Prayers from the living can greatly alleviate them and there are some saints who reported being haunted by ghosts who are begging them for a mass

Most famous case was Mussolini's ghost. It was said that a nun kept hearing a knock on her bedroom, from a ghost who was desperate for a mass. It turns out to be the man himself. He repented before dying, but he is locked in purgatory

The Church gave him what he wanted, and the haunting stopped

Let's pray that he is alright, along with the rest of them
