Hmm. No, not exactly. But walkin' dead are "short term" projects. Once a manitou is "slain" while inhabiting a wd, it just goes back to the Hunting Grounds. A Harrowed is a much longer term project that can lead to all sorts of magical powers, confusion, and far more terror (because of their ability for good as well as bad you usually don't just kill them like you do a zombie). But when the manitou is slain in a Harrowed, it's actually destroyed.
