Ghosts (US)	comment	Adapted from the hit British series of the same name, Ghosts is an American supernatural-themed sitcom airing on CBS since 2021 and starring Rose McIver and Utkarsh Ambudkar as the main (living) leads.It all starts when Samantha (McIver), a cheerful but overly ambitious freelance journalist, learns that she has inherited the once-grand, 300-year-old Woodstone Estate deep in the countryside of upstate New York. Against the better judgement of her husband Jay (Ambudkar), a composed but cynical unemployed chef, Sam decides they should invest all their money toward converting this major fixer-upper into a bed-and-breakfast establishment. There's just one small problem: the whole estate is haunted, or rather inhabited, by the spirits of its deceased residents.The eponymous ghosts are a close-knit but eclectic group that includes Alberta (Danielle Pinnock), a saucy Prohibition-era blues singer; Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), a pompous and very likely closeted Revolutionary War militia commander; Flower (Sheila Carrasco), a '60s hippie who's as spaced out as she is chatty; Thorfinn (Devan Chandler Long), a bloodthirsty Viking and the oldest of the resident spirits; Trevor (Asher Grodman), a sleazy Turn of the Millennium yuppie caught with his pants down—literally; Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky), the uptight, original owner of the house back in the 19th-century; Sasappis (Roman Zaragoza), a snarky Native American exasperated with the whole afterlife situation; Pete (Richie Moriarty), an upbeat '80s scout troop leader with an arrow shot through his neck; Crash, a decapitated '50s greaser who spends most of his time reuniting his head with his body; and a group of assorted, disheveled cholera victims residing in the mansion's basement.When the ghosts learn of the couple's plans, they take it upon themselves to frighten the newcomers away. But if the spirits are anxious about the commotion that a renovation and B&B will create in their home, that's nothing compared to their shock after discovering that Samantha, following a near-death experience, is the first living person who can see and hear them.The Six Idiots, who created and starred in the original UK series, serve as executive producers for this version.

Ghosts (US) / int_105cabdd	comment	Jacob Marley Apparel: The ghosts all wear the clothes that they died in, or in Trevor's case lack thereof. This extends to any injuries they had at the time of death, such as Pete's arrow in his neck and the bear claw marks on Flower's back shoulder. It also appears to extend to the latter's drug-induced impairment.

Ghosts (US) / int_1e5df5	comment	Heh Heh, You Said "X": The ghosts discuss the concept of moving on to the afterlife as being "sucked off." Trevor is the only ghost who seems to understand the dirty meaning of the phrase and snickers every time it is spoken. note Pete might know what it means, as he rolls his eyes on one occasion. Though he may just be reacting to Trevor's giggling.He urges Sam not to explain the joke to the others since their ignorance is one of his few pleasures as a ghost. Relatedly, when Elias is banished to hell by Hetty, Alberta later describes what happened by saying "he went down on us!" Sam once again seems concerned, and Trevor cuts in with "hey, if that's what she wants to call it..."

Played very straight when Jay, trying to fix up the mansion, accidentally makes a giant hole in the wall between Flower's and Hetty's rooms. Flower eagerly begins chatting with Hetty, to which Hetty replies, "...you know what, no. No, no, no..." and walks away.

Ghosts (US) / int_1f799027	comment	Obstructive Bureaucrat: In "Dinner Party," Sam and Jay have to contend with obnoxious neighbors (the Farnsbys) who pop by to say hello. After the two commit a social faux pas, the Farnsbys give an unsubtle hint that they will delay a permit from the local historic preservation board (which Henry Farnsby just happens to the head of) to turn the house into a B&B hotel by enforcing an obscure ordinance that they themselves passed. The main plot of the episode centers on Sam and Jay organizing the titular dinner party in order to woo the Farnsbys into fast-tracking their permit. It seems to go well... until the Farnsbys try to blackmail Sam and Jay into paying them $20,000 in exchange for passing their permit. Sam and Jay turn this right back at the Farnsbys after the ghosts inform Sam that the neighbors illegally tore down the mansion's carriage house to build a pickle ball court, turning the ordinances against Farnsbys.

Ghosts (US) / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: The fact that when a person becomes a ghost their spectral form falls under Jacob Marley Apparel helps Isaac realize that Elias's expensive watch he has on his ghost-person must be on his body as well. That watch helps Sam and Jay recoup the lost money from the canceled wedding because of Elias's actions. Lampshaded by the Chekhov Chill drink and the "chilling" hazing ritual it's used for (a Bland-Name Product of Smirnoff Ice and "icing") in flashbacks in "Trevor's Pants." Sam and Jay sell Elias's watch to one of Trevor's old work "bros" and in the process learn that said bros dumped his body rather than reveal that he died by mixing illegal drugs at a party. Sam gets Trevor's revenge by hiding a Chekhov Chill and a note from Trevor in the drawer where the drugs had been stashed for his friend to find. The man is forced to buy Sam and Jay's silence by offering double the watch's value and chugging the Chill. The letter found in the secret stash of liquor, provides a lead to who killed Alberta as it referred to a person called T. During a podcast, Sam and Jay along with Tod worked out that the T in the letter could mean Albertaâ€™s sister Theresa. Alberta then comes to a horrifying conclusion on if her own sister murdered her. However her conclusion is false because the T stands for Hettyâ€™s son Thomas who was in secretly love with her boyfriend Earl.

Ghosts (US) / int_23a1e2a9	type	Adaptation Deviation
Ghosts (US) / int_23a1e2a9	comment	Adaptation Deviation: This is necessary since the show is a Transatlantic Equivalent from the original British series. Rather than the standard six-episode fare, it has a longer season and thus more episodes to make up the bulk due to being a US remake. New ghosts, aside from Pete, had to be invented wholesale to adjust to American history and its eras while still filling in the roles of the originals. Also, the eras in which they died are closer to each other with a majority dying in the 20th century.note Alberta ('20s to '30s), Crash ('50s), Flower ('60s), Stephanie and Pete ('80s), with Trevor dying at the turn of the millennium The couple's dynamic is inverted where the husband is more sensible yet cynical and the wife is incredibly optimistic and impulsive. This is best exemplified when Jay was initially apprehensive towards Samantha's ill-thought plan of converting the house into a B&B because of the costs and time they'll need to invest in it. Instead of being pushed out the window, Samantha trips over a fallen vase caused by Trevor and proceeded to tumble down two flights of stairs. This near-death experience is what triggers her ability to see and hear ghosts. Where the UK series has avoided giving any explanation for the ghosts' continued presence on Earth or why some Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence, in the US version it is canon that ghosts can (at least sometimes) move on by dealing with their Unfinished Business, which happens to Sam's mom.

When an old classmate of Sam's whose cousin works at the publisher comes to the mansion, she is unable to keep up the lies and confesses.

Ghosts (US) / int_297170d3	comment	Halloween Episode: "Halloween" (Season 1) takes place over, yes, Halloween, which the ghosts do not enjoy (since they see it as mocking their existence and they can't do the fun stuff that the living do on the holiday). The main plot is about everyone dealing with some troublesome children who try to mess up the mansion on that day. "Halloween 2: The Ghost of Hetty's Past" (Season 2) has the gang trying to liven up Jay's Halloween party by holding a sÃ©ance, which brings back Hetty's former maid Molly, who in life had a sexual relationship with Hetty's husband Elias. "Halloween 3: The Guest Who Wouldn't Leave" (Season 3) has Sam and Jay try to throw another Halloween party to impress some old friends, which is complicated by the ghosts wanting to hold another seance to bring back Flower. Things get even more complicated when Pete's widow Carol is invited by mistake, and then dies and becomes a ghost. Things get further complicated when two of Sam and Jay's friends, Sasha and Nico, believe that the couple killed Carol and want to kill them because they know too much.

Ghosts sometimes develop powers to affect the living to some varying degree or another. Some of these powers are useful or cool, others are quite disgusting. When a Living walks through him, Isaac creates a noxious gas due to his dying of dysentery. In a similar vein, Sam's mom, who died from a shrimp allergy, can project a foul shrimp breath onto people from her mouth.

At first Jay convinces her that she's just hallucinating them due to a concussion, but then she goes to the doctor and he tells her that people who go through a Near-Death Experience are often able to see ghosts.

At the same time in the background near the top of the stairs both Pete and Trevor can clearly be seen just before Sam passes out. This also applies to any ghosts who possess Sam. Normally, ghosts who possess living people can't see other ghosts, but Thorfinn has no problem seeing other ghosts when he's inside Sam. "Alberta's Fan" demonstrates that young children can occasionally see ghosts as well, although they eventually lose that ability when they grow older. Hetty realizes that she used to fall asleep to Thorfinn's lullabies when she was growing up in the mansion as a young girl. Jay's sister Bela's boyfriend, Eric, fakes that he can see the ghosts after being electrocuted during Christmas; Turns out he is lying to keep the spark alive with Bela (pun intended).

As this lacks any context to what Sam might have been lying about, a disturbed Jay asks, "About what?" Trevor is less than pleased at having to write more words. In the second Halloween episode, Sam gets locked into the ghost-proof and air-tight secret vault. Jay remembers a previous condensation trick, fogs up the mirror and waits. Unfortunately, Trevor tries to by succinct, writing "SAM SAFE." Jay mis-interprets until Trevor changes it to "SAM in SAFE".

Ghosts (US) / int_78fde6df	comment	Alberta is convinced everyone will hate her if they find out she got her professional start by Removing the Rival, having her sent to jail so she could take her place in a show. However, as Sam points out, the context changes things a lot from a modern perspective. The rival was an Alpha Bitch who was picked over Alberta solely because she was thin and conventionally beautiful, despite Alberta being way more talented. Alberta, despite working her ass off and having an amazing voice, was never given a fair shot in show business because of her size. With awareness of unfair beauty standards and discrimination based on looks being far greater in the twenty-first century, Sam correctly guesses that modern people hearing this story are much more likely to take Alberta's side, seeing her not as a cheater, but as an underdog leveling the playing field.

The ghosts initially react in fear but then find the scent very pleasant. After Samantha falls down the stairs and taken to the hospital, Jay covers his head with his hands in sorrow when the doctor approaches and says, "Itâ€™s a tough loss". We then hear the toilet flushing as Sam exits with a neck brace and find out that Jay and the doctor were talking about how the Knicks lost to the Nuggets with a ten point lead. After the ghosts pester Samantha, she goes to a hospital where a male doctor confirms that it is possible to see ghosts after death. The doctor she was just talking to is a ghost himself and a living doctor arrives just before he leaves. In "D&D", Isaac has a secret he has kept from Nigel, which is implied to be that he has a crush on him. Everyone urges him to go ahead and tell Nigel, but the secret turns out to be that Isaac was the one who killed Nigel by accident. Nigel does not take this revelation well. In "Spies", Jay thinks he can see the ghosts now after falling through the floor at the end of the previous season. He seems to see Pete in front of him and rushes to embrace him, but it turns out he had mistaken a delivery guy for Pete, and in fact walks through the real Pete to greet him. In â€œWhodunnitâ€� It looks like Al Capone killed Alberta as he laced the moonshine with rat poison but it turns out that he was planning to commit suicide using the moonshine because Alberta rejected him. Theresa, Albertaâ€™s sister, talked him out of it. Then it looks like Theresa killed her sister as she was holding the poisoned moonshine. However, it turns out that she wanted Thomas to dispose of it. Unbeknownst to her, he was heartbroken that his lover didnâ€™t break up with Alberta, so he decided to get rid of her using the poisoned moonshine he was given.

In "The Christmas Spirit", Bela wants her date Eric to be possessed by Trevor, so she tries to recreate the events that led Jay to be possessed by Hetty. Sam stops them before they can carry it out, but in later trying to fix the lights again, she gets shocked and falls on Thorfinn.

In the Pilot, when the group is discussing how to haunt the livings, they settle on using their powers... And then spend several minutes listing and demonstrating their powers to each other.

Ghosts (US) / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: In "Halloween" the cops who come to investigate the gazebo burning down are the same ones who caught Sam and Jay setting the canoe on fire in "Viking Funeral". Sam tells Sasappis about her strained relationship with her mother as seen in â€œSamâ€™s Momâ€�, in â€œGhostwriterâ€�. While trying to give commands to Sam and Jay's Alexa in "Attic Girl", Thorfinn asks if there will be another season of It's Getting Hot in Here. "Dumb Deaths" has the crew working on the titular show wear It's Getting Hot in Here production T-shirts, as they also worked on that show. Thorfinn exclaims that "We walk among gods!" The events of "Possession" are brought up in "The Christmas Spirit", as Bela wants to have Trevor possess her date Eric just as Hetty possessed Jay. The fact that Trevor almost hocked up with Bela is briefly mentioned in â€œGhost Father of the Brideâ€�. As Isaac and Nigel are about to kiss underneath the mistletoe in "The Christmas Spirit", Isaac puts his hand on Nigelâ€™s face to avoid the kiss in the same manner as Alberta did to avoid being kissed by Pete in â€œThe Liquor Licenseâ€�. The events that involved Isaac and Nigel in â€œThe Christmas Spiritâ€� are mentioned again in â€œTrevorâ€™s Bodyâ€� as Jenkins reveals that after their failed kiss under the mistletoe, he flirted with Nigel. It turned out that Nigel flirted with him because he was disappointed that he didnâ€™t have his kiss with Isaac. Jay and Isaac mentions Freddieâ€™s departure in â€œGhosthunterâ€�, when checking in Isabel in â€œIsaacâ€™s Bookâ€�. In â€œIsaacâ€™s Bookâ€�, after Sam tells the truth to Isaac that the publishers declined to publish his biography, she mentions that he killed Nigel with his precursor to the sniper rifle in â€œD&Dâ€� and the fact that now he is dating him. The events of "The Vault" are brought up in "Weekend From Hell", as Hettyâ€™s husband Elias returns to the mortal realm. Trevor mentions that the reason of his missing pants Justification he gave them to Pinkus so he wouldn't have to run back to New York City naked out in the cold in â€œTrevorâ€™s Pantsâ€� was a hero move in â€œAlbertaâ€™s Descendantâ€�. While Hetty and Trevor are discussing their affair in â€œAlbertaâ€™s Descendantâ€�, they mention their hook-up at the end of â€œThe Christmas Spirit, Part Twoâ€�. Jay mentions in â€œAlbertaâ€™s Descendantâ€� the food critic getting horny, due to Elias walking through her, while eating his lamb chops in the previous episode â€œWeekend From Hellâ€�. In â€œWhodunnitâ€�, Alberta mentions that Thorfinn was stupid enough to wear his metal helmet during a thunderstorm in â€œViking Funeralâ€�. There are several call backs in the season 2 finale as it mentions David Woodstone dumping Trevorâ€™s body in â€œTrevorâ€™s Pantsâ€�, the fact that Thomas Woodstone murdered Alberta, as revealed in the previous episode, Sasappis dating Jessica in â€œThe Perfect Assistantâ€�, â€œThe Family Businessâ€� and â€œGhosthunterâ€�, Sasappis stating to Isaac that washing hands prevents dysentery like one of his troops in â€œD&Dâ€� and Hetty having an orgasm due to a washing machine in â€œAlbertaâ€™s Podcastâ€�. In the season 3 premiere, Jay mentions the time that Flower made him go high in â€œWeekend from Hellâ€�. Towards the end of â€œMan of Your Dreamsâ€�, the events of â€œHalloween 2: The Ghost of Hettyâ€™s Pastâ€� are mentioned as Sam brings up the fact that Halloween is right around the corner. This gives Thorfinn the idea to bring back Flower via seance. The events of â€œThe Christmas Spirit, Part 2â€� are mentioned in â€œHe Sees Dead Peopleâ€� as Eric claims that after he was electrocuted, he can see ghosts. In "The Owl," Thor threatens to burn down the barn. He mentions the time he accidentally burned down the gazebo in "Halloween." The argument Pete and Carol have on whether or not doughnut holes come from the same machine as doughnuts on the day he died, is mentioned again in â€œHalloween 3: The Guest Who Wouldn't Leaveâ€� as Carol unexpectedly turns up at Sam and Jayâ€™s Halloween Party. The fact that Trevorâ€™s body wash fished out of the lake and the face palming incident in â€œThe Liquor Licenseâ€� were mentioned in â€œThe Silent Partnerâ€�.

Ghosts (US) / int_9dc46ce8	type	Otherworldly Communication Failure
Ghosts (US) / int_9dc46ce8	comment	Otherworldly Communication Failure: Played for Laughs. In the episode "D&D" the ghosts are upset that Sam lied to Jay about them not enjoying their game of Dungeons & Dragons. Trevor, the only ghost that can move objects and therefore somewhat interact with humans, writes "she lied" in the steam in the mirror while Jay is in the shower. But, when Jay sees it, he just says "About what?" much to Trevor's frustration. In the stinger of the episode "D&D" Sasappis has Trevor write to Jay, "Make Pizza." Given the strain it is to write so much, Trevor notes he isn't going to try and write "pepperoni" on the mirror as well. And Jay is stating this is not cool and really creepy now. A third instance happens in "Halloween 2: The Ghost of Hetty's Past" where Trevor tries to tell Jay that Sam is trapped in the ghost-proof safe, except he chooses to write "Sam safe" instead of "Sam vault" because he was trying to be succinct. Jay almost walks away thinking nothing is wrong until Trevor corrects the message to "Sam in safe." A flashback had Hetty's son asking his deceased mother if he should marry his girlfriend. Hetty wanted to tell him not to, and Thorfin tried to help by making the lights flicker, which Thomas took as a sign to marry her.

Alexander Hamilton is frequently mentioned, due to Isaacâ€™s hatred of him. He states that Hamilton pretended that he didnâ€™t know him at a party and then got his name wrong several times over the years. Isaac had an acquaintance with Benjamin Franklin as he invited him to a Masonic loge only because he wanted him to transport a desk to John Jay and give other Freemason a ride back their home, using his carriage. He also appears in Isaac's dream, paying a visit and agreeing with Beatrice calling him a "big gay liar".

Ghosts (US) / int_aabe2fb	type	Deliberate Values Dissonance
Ghosts (US) / int_aabe2fb	comment	Deliberate Values Dissonance: Part of the humor of the show comes from the ghosts' very different opinions on things than would be commonly accepted in the present day. For instance, Hetty believes that cocaine can still be used freely in a medicinal way (rather than its current usual use as a narcotic and occasional use as a legal anesthetic in operations on the eye and some dental surgery), and (until she is convinced otherwise) believes that women should not vote. Even more recent ghosts of Trevor and Pete take things they did as livings in new cultural light. Where they once enjoyed Ghostbusters, now as ghosts themselves they see it as a horrible representation of some poor unfortunate people. As ghosts take the form of their living's final moments and that is unchanging, Alberta is horrified to consider what caused Slimer to look as he does. Alberta is convinced everyone will hate her if they find out she got her professional start by Removing the Rival, having her sent to jail so she could take her place in a show. However, as Sam points out, the context changes things a lot from a modern perspective. The rival was an Alpha Bitch who was picked over Alberta solely because she was thin and conventionally beautiful, despite Alberta being way more talented. Alberta, despite working her ass off and having an amazing voice, was never given a fair shot in show business because of her size. With awareness of unfair beauty standards and discrimination based on looks being far greater in the twenty-first century, Sam correctly guesses that modern people hearing this story are much more likely to take Alberta's side, seeing her not as a cheater, but as an underdog leveling the playing field. Hetty's disdain for the Irish can be Played for Laughs because they're no longer discriminated against in America. Doubly so for Thor's hatred of Danes. In "Dumb Deaths", Trevor advises Isaac to avoid mentioning the Revolutionary War in front of Nigel and instead switch the conversation to something not controversial. Unfortunately, the examples he gives — The Cosby Show and Woody Allen movies — are now controversial due to their creators' sexual misconduct coming to light. "Trevor's Body" reveals that Trevor themed his bar mitzvah around Mel Gibson. This was before Gibson's infamous anti-semetic rant during an arrest.

Ghosts (US) / int_b58b4e3c	comment	Too Dumb to Live: Some of the ghosts died by less than intelligent means. Both Flower and Pete died in ways that were so stupid that a TV show called "Dumb Deaths" wanted to do an episode about them. Flower got so high, she tried to hug a bear. Pete gave dangerous weapons to children then stood in front of them. If that wasn't stupid enough, it was later revealed that the reason he didn't give the safety lecture before handing out the arrows was because he was preoccupied with a dumb fight he had with his wife about donut holes. Isaac ignored a subordinate's warnings about the dangers of dysentery. Later, when he finds out how Alexander Hamilton died, he takes great pleasure in believing his old Sitcom Arch-Nemesis was this trope. Elias commissioned a secret vault, then he not only refused to pay the man who built it, he slept with the man's wife. As a result, he got locked inside his own vault and suffocated. Trevor mixed a bunch of unlabeled drugs. Jessica drove drunk. Stephanie stayed to make out in the car with her prom date even after hearing a radio bulletin about an escaped chainsaw killer in the area. Alberta drank moonshine left by a stranger. When Thorfin pointed this out, Alberta replied that he wore a metal helmet in a lightning storm. David Woodstone accidentally sterilized himself in 1993 by dunking his balls in a pot of scalding hot coffee on a dare.

In "Halloween 2: The Ghost of Hetty's Past", Jay compares having a "reverse sÃ©ance" to send back the spirit of Hetty's maid Molly to the plot of Big. He even compares the old feather duster needed for the sÃ©ance to work to the Zoltar machine from the movie. Sam tells Jay to â€œuse the forceâ€� when encouraging him after he canâ€™t remember what he cooked while high, due to walking into Flower, in â€œWeekend From Hellâ€�.

Sam and Jay sell Elias's watch to one of Trevor's old work "bros" and in the process learn that said bros dumped his body rather than reveal that he died by mixing illegal drugs at a party. Sam gets Trevor's revenge by hiding a Chekhov Chill and a note from Trevor in the drawer where the drugs had been stashed for his friend to find. The man is forced to buy Sam and Jay's silence by offering double the watch's value and chugging the Chill.

Ghosts (US) / int_da1c8191	comment	Writers Cannot Do Math: Sam's status a relative to Sophie Woodstone is really shaky in relation to her status as a Hetty's descendant. She calls Sophie her great aunt, but also calls David Woodstone (Sophie's son) her uncle. This would either make Sophie her grandma or David her grand cousin. Even if we assume that the latter is true and Sam isn't being literal when she calls him uncle, season 2 identifies Hetty as Sam's great-great-great grandaunt. As Hetty is Sophie's great-great grandmother this would actually make Sophie Sam's four cousin once removed and David her fifth cousin. This make Sam barely related to both David and Sophie and for her to be Sophie's closest living relative, not only would both David and Sophie have to be only children, but so would both of Sophie's grandparents and likely both of her great grandparents as well. Possibly doubles as an In-Universe example, since Sam is a writer and apparently can't figure out that being the direct ancestor of Sam's great-aunt would make Hetty Sam's direct ancestor, not just a 4Xgreat-aunt.

Then Hetty confesses that she knew the real killer — her son Thomas, who was in love with Alberta's boyfriend Earl and decided to kill her out of spite.

Ghosts (US) / int_e2a6ebc1	comment	Closed Circle: All ghosts are trapped within a certain area around where they die. Each circle's exact area isn't said to be equal or if it could change over time. The manor ghosts can move in the house and on the grounds but no further than the property line of the estate. "Possession" shows that any ghost that attempts to cross the property line is turned around by an invisible barrier that leads them back inside. This is how Hetty is freed from inside Jay's body; when she tries to drive to Paris, she is repelled by the barrier and knocked off Jay's body, while Jay narrowly avoids crashing into a tree. Other ghosts are shown to be stuck in the local newspaper office, or to a diner. A more extreme example happens to Hetty's husband, Elias. After having a vault built inside the mansion, the builder locks him in and absconds. Even after he dies, the vault happens to be constructed of material that even ghosts cannot phase through, so until the vault is reopened in the present-day, Elias spends his afterlife with just himself and his rotting corpse. "The Perfect Assistant" introduces Jessica, a "car ghost" who died in a car crash and is bound to the vehicle where she died and a five-foot radius around it.

Thorfinn largely fills the role that Robin did, being the oldest of the ghosts and being the most puzzled with the outside world. However, his interest in Viking documentaries calls to mind the Captain's love for military documentaries. He also shares a bit of Julianâ€™s backstory as both of them were absent fathers to their child. As a ghost, were able to â€œseeâ€� their child as an adult. Isaac shares qualities with the Captain (both being military men who are closeted gays), with Thomas (both become jealous upon learning that a contemporary whom they loathed is famous and well-remembered while they themselves have been relegated to obscurity—Lord Byron to Thomas and Alexander Hamilton to Isaac), with Mary (both emit a strong odor when a living passes through them), and with Julian (both are mainly known for their ignoble deaths—Julian in a salacious sex scandal and Isaac by dysentery). He also shares a part of Humphreyâ€™s backstory as both were trapped in an Arranged Marriage.

Ghosts (US) / int_fc50f82	comment	Intangibility: Just like in the original British series, ghosts can pass through most solid objects (except that they can stand up, sit down, or lie on the floor or the furniture, and they cannot pass through whatever the secret vault is made of). However, passing through living people and creatures is very uncomfortable and painful for them. They're also not intangible to each other, being capable of physical altercations or even having sex with one another. The exception (so far) is the metal that Elias had made into the vault. Once discovered, the ghosts can't phase into it, and Elias was trapped within, with his rotting corpse. The confusing mechanics of this does get lampshaded.
