That's a different story. Bringing the villain back to life is not dramatic and impactful enough. Other times, the villain puts a failsafe that would happen in case he/she died. It's more dramatic if they brought the villain back without bringing the villain back to life. I think that's the case with Mother Gothel. She probably did something to Rapunzel years ago that would eventually take effect and make Rapunzel see, hear, and feel her.

This sort of thing happened with Robin in Teen Titans where Slade's mask had a chemical substance that went into Robin and made him see and feel Slade when he really wasn't there. I think that's what Rapunzel will experience.

Also, I know this is a tease because Disney has done this type of thing before. I remember watching a promo for Star Wars Rebels Season 3 where there was a scene of Ezra about to kill Maul. In the episode where that happened, Ezra was having visions of Maul, and when he was about to slice Maul in half, it turned out it was a hallucination superimposed on a rebel. That was because he abrubtlly halted the holocron session with Maul, and the effect was disasterous.
