Your Guide To The Dearly Departed Souls That Haunt The CBS Hit Comedy Series Ghosts
As Ghosts approaches its sophomore season, unearth a bit more about its spirited characters.
Posted on Jul 12, 2022 | 11:45am
Season two of the #1 new comedy/series and breakout hit Ghosts will premiere in its new time slot at 8:30 PM on Thursdays on CBS this fall beginning on Sept. 29.
As you may recall, Woodstone Mansion is home to a group of mismatched ghosts who have died over the centuries and are learning to live together in their shared humdrum eternity. Their lives are upheaved when a young couple inherits the estate and makes plans to turn it into a busy bed and breakfast. Samantha, the young woman of the couple, has an unfortunate accident resulting in a near-death experience, which in turn leaves her with the ability to see and communicate with the ghosts. The ghosts (and "livings") attempts at getting along are humorous and warm-hearted making for a feel-good comedy that the whole family can enjoy.
Now, to help you prepare for the series premiere, let's get reacquainted with the numerous squabbling deceased residents of Woodstone Mansion.
THORFINN
THORFINN

Occupation in life: Viking pillager
Ghostly Ability: The power to minimally manipulate electricity with intense concentration and determination.

ALBERTA
ALBERTA
Alberta is a flamboyant Prohibition-era jazz singer from the 1920s who’s seen a thing-or-two after hanging out with

Occupation in life: Jazz Singer
Ghostly Ability: Projecting her humming voice to be heard by the living.
FLOWER
FLOWER

Occupation in life: Flower child. One-time bank robber.
Ghostly Ability: Flower can make someone feel high when she walks through them.
Cause of Death: While high on hallucinogenic mushrooms at a local music festival, Flower stumbled onto the Woodstone Manor grounds and mistook an angry bear with its paws raised high for an invitation to hug. Instead, the bear malled her to death.
HETTY
HETTY
Hetty is Samantha's great-great-great-grandmother who built Woodstone Mansion and will fiercely protect its honor.

She often looks down upon the couple and other ghosts for their undistinguished behavior.
Occupation in life: Robber Baroness
Ghostly Ability: Unrevealed
Cause of death: To be revealed

TREVOR
TREVOR
The most-recently dead, Trevor a.k.a. T-Money, is a pants-less finance bro from the year 2000 who seems like a creep, but hints at a more tender side. The only ghost who can touch objects in the physical world, which he has used to join a dating app and (accidentally) catfish Jay’s sister.
Ability: Can slightly move small objects with tremendous effort.
Occupation in life: Financial adviser
Cause of Death: Partying too hard with the bros.
