There's definitely a reaction to 'died before' but it isn't surprise, it's a more general ill ease at the topic. Something Maddie should say, but isn't going to.

So she'll just run with the change in topic, "People in the hotel can me. Well, anyone some way touched by the whole good evil fight. I needed help checking in and sometimes I need someone to get me back into my room when my key vanishes on me. The local- witches?" Said like she's sure that's not the PC term but she doesn't had better, "are looking into some way to hex it so my ghostly being treats it as always mine."

"Yes, I can get locked out of my room and yes I do feel cheated on my ghost powers."
