Ghosts attend school and Hilarity Ensues.The three Ainsworth sisters would love to have lives of their own...were it not for the fact that they were killed in an accident in 1860. So, fast-forward 150 years to 2010, when they've finally been given a second chance to go to school in their old house. At which point they discover how much the world has changed.Of course the usual hijinks ensue, both due to their Fish out of Temporal Water status and the fact that the supernatural world seems to intersect with Ainsbury College in various bizarre ways.Oh, and there's two conditions: They can never reveal their true selves, and they must not flunk out of school.They quickly develop their own sets of goals. Rebecca, the eldest, almost immediately sets her sights on hunky jock David, while sister Sophie feels pressured by academia. Meanwhile, youngest sister Hazel is quickest to adapt to her new surroundings. They're aided by their confidante Jonathan, the only living being to know their secret. Meanwhile, their liaison with the ghost world is a hippie named Agatha, who spends a lot of her time sitting around with greaser Buddy, Brawn Hilda Grendel and philosopher Sophus. | |

| Dead Gorgeous / int_105cabdd | comment |
Jacob Marley Apparel: This appears to be a default for ghosts. As 'living ghosts', the Ainsworth sisters can wear other clothes—allowing them to wear their school uniforms—but they revert back to the dresses they died in when not doing so. It is not known is other, non-living ghosts share this ability. Agatha, Buddy, Grendel and Sophus always appear in the clothes they died in but, as they never interact with mortals, they never have reason to change clothes. | |

Protest By Obstruction | |
| Dead Gorgeous / int_1818d1af | comment |
Protest By Obstruction: In "Hazel's Tree", Hazel is distraught to learn that a peppercorn tree that she planted with her mother as a young girl is to be torn down to make way for a new hydraulic water pump. Posing as an unwashed, energy saving environmentalist, Hazel starts a campaign intent on educating the school on all things "green". This culminates in her and many of her schoolmates tying themselves to the tree as a protest. | |

Alpha Bitch: Christine. Christine is one of the coolest girls in school. Her parents are wealthy and that could be one reason why everyone wants to be her friend. When Rebecca meets Christine and her 'gang' of friends she desperately wants to be accepted. Rebecca will go to extraordinary lengths to be one of Christine's friends which gives Christine a lot of opportunities to take advantage of her. | |

Impossibly Tacky Clothes: The 'fashion of the future' outfits Christine and her Girl Posse create for a fashion show in "Smoke and Mirrors", which cause the entire school to laugh them off the stage.
