**Sal Martino** is the uncle of Pete Martino. It is mentioned that he moved down to Hell after he died.

## Biography

### Life

Pete’s Uncle Sal was likely born in either the late 1910s or the early 1920s with an unnamed brother who could be older or younger than him. Sal may have been one you might have described as a “silent tough guy” as that is how Pete describes his father. It’s unlikely Sal was married as he probably led a bad or sinful life and ended up in Hell which shows he likely had a bad or mean personality. It is unknown how Sal died but he predeceased his nephew Pete who died in 1985.

### Death

When Sal died, he became a ghost for at least a short period of time. He descended to the afterlife of Hell after a significant event had proved he was unworthy of a good second chance. This may have like Elias Woodstone’s going down, which was triggered by him saying he would never change his bad ways.

## Trivia

* He is in Hell.
* He is only mentioned in the one episode; Weekend From Hell.
* Pete saw him when Elias tried to drag him down into Hell.
Possession (ability)

Candidate for deletionThis page has been nominated for deletion. *Reason: Pages on each ghost type is not necessary since it's repeating what's on the character pages*Remember to check what links here and the page history before deletion.
**Possession** is what happens when a ghost goes through a human shortly after they have had an electric shock or been electrocuted. The two ghosts whom this has notably happened to are Isaac Higgintoot and Hetty Woodstone. It happened to Isaac in the late 19th century or possibly early 20th century, when one of Hetty’s workmen was electrocuted and fell over backwards through. Isaac, trapping him in the workman’s body. When Hetty and Elias realised that one of the workmen had been possessed, they called for a priest and had him perform an exorcism on the workman, by beating him to a pulp with a heavy wooden crucifix. This worked and Isaac was freed from the man’s body. In the episode “Possession” Jay accidentally electrocutes himself and is flung backward off the wall. In doing this, he goes through Hetty, who is then trapped inside his body. While in Jay’s body, Hetty causes all sorts of havoc, eating all the food in the kitchen, taking over Jay while he is reciting the menu to Michael Davenport, and even trying to drive away in Jay’s car so that she can go to Paris. However, when she does this, she is repelled by the barrier and goes flying out of Jay’s body while floating back down the driveway as if she is sat in a car. Meanwhile, Jay is forced to slam on the brakes so that he doesn’t die in a car crash.
Obi

> "Thanks, Alison. Great party! Same time next week."― Obi to Alison[src]
>
>

**Obi** is a friend of the Coopers who often appears at their home of Button House for parties. He also designs the branded Button House hoodie for Alison to wear in her TV interview in The Bone Plot.

## Appearance

He is a dark-skinned man with brown eyes and a large afro as well as stubbly goatee.
John (plague ghost)

## John

**John** is a plague ghost who is obsessed with Betsy the boiler. He lives in the basement of Button House along with the other Plague ghosts.

## Biography

### Life

John lived his entire life in his home village and was presumably friends with Jeff, Nigel, Walter and Mick whilst they were alive because he is friends with them as a ghost. He died when Mick came back from London and gave him (and everybody else) the plague.

### Death

John died of the plague with several other members of his village and was buried in a plague pit. He became a ghost and remained friends with Nigel, Jeff and the other plague ghosts. Once Button House had been built, him and the other plague ghosts moved into the basement and developed a great fascination for the boiler, which they named Betsy. He rarely went upstairs or interacted with the other "upstairs" ghosts, except for one time when he goes to watch Thomas Thorne recite a poem and again during the upstairs ghosts' pantomime in "It's Behind You".
Nancy

**Nancy** is a Cholera ghost who is the most eager of the group to ever go upstairs. She died of Cholera in the mid 19th century. She appears in the CBS series.

## Biography

### Life

Nancy was originally from Albany but then moved to where Woodstone Mansion was at some point in her life. There she lived alongside other villagers such as Stuart and Creepy Dirk. When she was about forty years old, Stuart caught Cholera and accidentally infected the entire village, something it seems Nancy still holds against him as she mentions this in the episode Sam's Mom.

### Death

Nancy caught cholera off Stuart and died when she was about forty. This happened between 1832 and 1866. She was buried in a pit with all of the other dead villagers who had also been victims of cholera. She then stayed in the basement of Woodstone Mansion with all of the other Cholera ghosts because it was dark and closest to the place her body was, although she could go upstairs if she wished too.

In fact, Nancy was the most likely to take an occasional trip to the upstairs of the house and looked for excuses to do so when she was bored. When Sam suggests that the ghosts choose a spokesperson to talk to her and ask for certain things that the ghosts would all like, Nancy votes for Creepy Dirk along with all of the other cholera ghosts.

In the episode Sam's Mom Nancy moves upstairs for a short while to live with Pete when he tells everyone he already has a girlfriend when worried about Alberta finding out he is in love with her. She pretended to be in love with Pete before then helping Pete get out of the situation by telling the other ghosts that they had decided to break up. She still visited Pete and the other ghosts upstairs if she got bored or wanted to check what was going upstairs every now or then.

## Trivia

* Unlike the other Cholera ghosts, Nancy did not seem to have as big an obsession with the water heater.
* She is one of the first people to know about Hetty and Trevor's relationship in Isaac's Book.
* She calls herself a "hit it and quit it" kind of girl in The Heir.
Helmut and Wolfgang

**Helmut** and **Wolgang** are the ghosts of two World War Two-era Luftwaffe pilots stranded over the property of an apartment house in Hemel Hempstead. They are played by Simon Stache and Florian Schwienbacher.

## Biography

Not much is known about Helmut and Wolfgang. It is known they likely joined the Luftwaffe (German Air Corp) during World War Two and became pilots on numerous missions against the Allied Forces. Unfortunately, it seems they met their ends in one of the German attacks on England during the war, likely being killed by air barrage from British forces before hitting the ground; hence, being trapped in the air. Trapped in a fixed point would prevent them from being able to cause haunting activity. Trapped in a place where they can mostly just observe events around them, they are spotted by Alison Cooper when she comes to see an apartment at the site, and they become very excited when they realize she can see them. There is some indication from their position they have learned English. Sadly, Alison doesn't take the apartment, leaving them trapped and unable to communicate.

## Appearance

Both Helmut and Wolfgang are garbed in Luftwaffe pilot uniforms including leather helmets, goggles and original German WWII Luftwaffe Officer leather flight jackets. A Bullion Eagle badge can be seen on Helmut's jacket. This badge was introduced by Hermann Göring on March 26, 1936 as a award to Observers, Navigators and Bombardiers who had met the required criteria. The Observer’s badge was awarded on an individual basis and criteria for bestowal included five operational flights over enemy territory or a minimum of two months active service.

## Trivia

* In the credits and the IMDB, the characters are called "Pilot Helmut" and "Pilot Wolfgang."
Actor Pete

**Actor Pete** (first name unknown) is seen in the episode Dumb Deaths in the CBS show.

## Biography

He first shows up after Paula tells Jay Arondekar they were pivoting away from Flower's death because of too many animal related incidents.

He is shown to be a method actor, requesting that even the production crew, to not have modern technology around him. He talks to the director about what drives Pete Martino and asks who he is. He interprets the character as a "bitter soul haunted by visions of his past" and a drunk. He is later told by Jennifer that he was never a drinker and the exact opposite of what he was originally thinking.

In his previous role he gained seventy-five pounds (about thirty-four kilograms) and it took some time to get it back off.

## Trivia

* He suggested that Pete would urinate when he gets hit by the arrow, which the director decided was okay.

Chet

**Chet** is a former friend of Trevor and business man. He appears in the CBS series in the episode Trevor's Pants.

## Biography

Chet was likely born around 1969 because he is about the same age as Trevor, Ari and David Woodstone. Chet had been to Woodstone Mansion before with his friends to celebrate a promotion among his friend group, possibly Trevor’s. He was there the night that Trevor died as he was friends with David whose parents were away in Europe for the week. They were all for hazing Pinkus as part of the promotion. He did not stop Trevor from taking two unknown pills, suggesting that taking drugs was a semi-normal practice amongst his group of friends.

Rather then calling the ambulance or the police he called his dad. His father told them to lawyer up. He and his friends later take Trevor's body, weight it down, and dump it in the lake. Chet vowed to not speak of it again with David and Ari, which they kept until Ari phoned him to say that two people (Sam and Jay) were questioning him about it randomly and he was worried. When Chet answered the phone and heard Ari so worried, he assumed that he was high on drugs.

## Trivia

* It appears that he might still talk to Ari since he made a call to someone who knows about Trevor's body. Since David is dead, he's the only other person who knows that was there since Pinkus had left and probably wasn't told about the true circumstances of Trevor’s death.

Judy Farnsby

**Judy Farnsby** is a ghost and the mother of Henry Farnsby, Sam and Jay's neighbor. She appears in the American sitcom *Ghosts* and is first seen in the episode "Farnsby & B."

## Biography

Judy is first noticed by Samantha Arondekar when she stands next to Henry but he doesn't seem to notice her. She doesn't say much but does ask if the actor from Bedtime For Bonzo (Ronald Reagan) became president. She notices right away that Sam can see her and is surprised.

In "The Perfect Assistant," Bjorn is being bullied by her, for what at first seems like an unknown reason. In the last scene he tells Thor that she was only bullying him because she had a crush on him. She is seen picking on him saying that "he was crying to his daddy."

## Trivia

* Her jello mold is a family heirloom which is mentioned in The Baby Bjorn which was being sold in a garage sale.
* She finds her son a pervert for being a swinger and questions where she went wrong. She guessed it might be because she didn't breast feed him.

## Biography

Liz is seen wanting to get married at Woodstone Mansion to her fiance Kenny. She wants everything recorded so she can post about the wedding online.

When Elias Woodstone walks through her, she hits on Jay and says "all she can think about it grabbing your [Jay's] butt." Jay takes this the wrong way and tells Sam. They think that the wedding will be called off. After Sam and Jay realize what Elias' power was, they try to fix things only to hit on Kenny themselves. Liz tells them that they'll be having the wedding elsewhere after Kenny tells her what happened.

Sondra

**Sondra** is a ghost that haunts the same restaurant in Ohio as Sheryl, Sam Arondekar’s mom. She died after her heart exploded once she’d eaten a “Cheese Hurricane” when she was having a meal at Mojitown, a Cuban-Mexican-Hawaiian themed restaurant.

## History

### Life

Sondra likely lived in Ohio, in the area near Mojitown. It may not have been her first trip when she died, as she was ambitious by eating the full Cheese Hurricane. Little else is known about her life. She died after her heart exploded, causing her to become a ghost and haunt Mojitown.

### Death

Upon becoming a ghost, Sondra met Peggy Sue, the ghost of a waitress who’d worked at Mojitown when it had been a different restaurant before the owners of Mojitown bought it. Since Peggy Sue talks a lot and never seems to stop, it is likely that she may have annoyed Sondra a little in this time. A few years after Sondra had died, Sheryl died there because of a severe shellfish allergic reaction and also became a ghost. The two formed a close bond and got on well, with Sheryl “never shutting up” about her daughter Sam. In the episode Sam’s Mom, Sheryl moves on when Sam comes to visit her, leaving Sondra there as a ghost with Peggy Sue.

Lewis

**Lewis** was an editor who works at the Ulster County Review in Hudson Valley. He edits and publishes all of Sam’s articles.

## Biography

### Life

Lewis would likely have studied journalism at university and done an extra degree in order to become chief editor for the newspaper.

He meets Sam when she comes to write an article for the paper in the episode “Flower’s Article.” He is rather impatient and does not understand why she keeps coming back with minor updates for him. In reality, Sam is just carrying messages between Sasappis and Shiki, who lives in the newspaper building.

Lewis is entirely oblivious to the two ghosts living in the printer room of the Ulster County Review, who are Shiki and Winky.

In the episode Whodunnit, it was revealed that he got fired for a screen sharing incident by Shiki. He went to rehab for a porn addiction. His replacement told Sam the reason he wanted to spend more time with his family.
Rachel Fawcett

**Rachel Fawcett** is the daughter of Julian Fawcett and Margot Fawcett. She is a British politician currently serving as Member of Parliament for the Green Party of England and Wales.

## Biography

She is known to have been 4 years old as of her father Julian's death in 1993, putting her date of birth in 1988. Her father often was away having affairs, meaning Rachel was raised primarily by her mother Margot even before her father's death. Rachel was an only child at the time of her father's death. She probably became an MP in the 2016 or 2019 general elections and sat as a member of the Green Party. This may be because she wanted to follow a similar career path to her father, but instead leave a positive impact unlike him. She is not the leader of the Green Party, but she is likely a high-up member of the party as they only have 3 or 4 Members of Parliament at one time.

She is allergic to equines.

## References

1. ↑ According to the Button House Archives Book, Rachel was "three" on the Fawcett Family holiday on 12 August 1992. For her to be "four" when Julian dies, she must have turned 4 sometime between August 1992, shortly after the holiday, and the March of 1993, which is when Julian died.

Jeff (plague ghost)

**Jeff** was a Plague ghost who lived in the basement of Button House and was friends with Mick, John and Nigel.

## Biography

### Life

Jeff lived in his small village for his entire life until his death due to Plague in the 14th century which he contracted from Mick. He was presumably friends with Mick, John and Nigel whilst he was alive as well as once he had died. He died when Mick brought back the Bubonic Plague from London after he visited the city.

### Death

Jeff spent most of his time as a ghost obsessing over the boiler which he named “Betsy”. He lived in the basement with all of the other Plague ghosts and had a very simple life. He didn’t do much and only spoke to the ghosts from upstairs when they came downstairs or when he had to take a rare trip upstairs. He was still sore over Mick giving him Plague and had had arguments about it with some of the other Plague ghosts which supposedly “Didn’t last any longer than 25 years or so.”

## Historical notes

* Alberta uses the expression "drop a dime" to mean to rat out her competition. The expression was first recorded in 1966 and comes from using a dime in a payphone to call in an anonymous tip. While there were payphones in existence in the early 1900s, the cost of a phone call in the late 1920s was 2 cents. It's possible that Alberta heard the phrase after her death and adopted it herself.

## Trivia

* Sam's publisher, Lewis, and Alberta's fan, Todd Pearlman, make their second appearances in the series. They previously appeared in, respectively, "Flower's Article" and "Alberta's Fan."
* Besides the return of Todd, another Season 1 reference is Daisy's Coffee Shop, the coffeehouse Sam and Lewis have their meeting.

Baxter

**Baxter** was one of the revolutionary war ghosts who lived in a shed in the grounds of Woodstone Mansion. He fought alongside Nigel Chessum and Jenkins in the war.

## Biography

### Life

Baxter was born in the UK in the 1700s and went to America on a military ship to govern the colonies. There he worked under Nigel Chessum in the British Army. He was also acquainted with a soldier named Jenkins whom he worked with. When the revolutionary war broke out, Baxter was one of the British soldiers fighting.

### Death

Baxter died when an American army led by Captain Isaac Higgintoot arrived and a battle broke out in Hudson Valley. After Isaac accidentally shot Nigel dead, Baxter and Jenkins led the army to fight against the Americans, which resulted in both of them dying and their army being defeated.

Baxter became a ghost after his death and haunted the grounds of Woodstone Mansion alongside the ghosts of Nigel Chessum and Jenkins. He still had his fife in his hand since he was holding it when he died. Baxter lived in a shed with the other revolutionary ghosts and only came out once or twice a year with Nigel to reaffirm the boundaries with Isaac, who was also a ghost and now haunting the land as well.

However, once Sam and Jay inherit the house off the deceased Sophia Woodstone, Nigel begins to make his trips up to the house a little more frequent, visiting Isaac and the other ghosts. Sometimes Baxter and Jenkins come with him, but not always. They do not move up to the house at any point and continue living in their shed.

## Trivia

* Baxter plays the fife as shown in D&D.
* He was a British soldier in the Revolutionary War.
* He was on the losing side of the battle that followed Nigel's death.

## Biography

After her boyfriend breaks up with her, Bela comes to stay with Sam and Jay to clear her head. Bela meets someone new right away over a dating site and declines Sam's help in getting over her ex.

Before coming to the mansion, she had started messaging a guy she had matched with who turns out to be Trevor. When Sam forces Trevor to end the budding relationship, Bela thinks she got catfished and sends Trevor an insulting message. The iPad in the kitchen dings with an incoming message, and Jay and Sam try to convince Bela they were the ones who created Trevor's profile to help her get over her ex-boyfriend. Disgusted and hurt, Bela packs her things to leave. In an effort to save the situation, Sam blurts out that she can see ghosts, though Bela doesn't believe her at first. It takes the combined effort of the other ghosts to convince Bela that ghosts are real and Sam can actually see them.

Bela is touched that she is the only one apart from Jay to learn of Sam's unexpected ability and feels closer to her after finding out, and even admits to Sam that she has "always kind of wanted a sister."

At the end of Jay's Sister," Trevor manages to talk to Bela with Sam's help and tells her to find someone as incredible as her because that's what she deserves.

Bela had her friend, Eric, drive her to the mansion in time for Christmas. She is aware of his crush on her but she doesn't like him that way. She thinks of him as too into her. She gets Jay to tell her about the time he was possessed and then convinces Eric to be possessed by Trevor. However, that never happens with instead Sam gets possessed by Thorfinn.

When Eric finally attempts to get possessed he actually dies for a few minutes. Bela is scared and attempts to revive him until Thor as Sam revives him. Bela takes Eric takes up stairs to his bed, as he tells her of his time as a ghost and meeting Trevor. Jay calls him "deeply unstable" which makes Bela like him more.

Afterlife

The **afterlife** (also referred to as **life after death**) is a purported existence in which the essential part of an individual's identity or their stream of consciousness continues to live after the death of their physical body.

## General

Isaac and Hetty explain that while most spirits pass on to the afterlife, 5% of those who die are cursed to spend an eternity on Earth as ghosts until they resolve their long-standing issues.

Molly descended from the afterlife in the episode Halloween 2: The Ghost of Hetty's Past during a seance. The effect in the episode make it look like the clouds parting. She says that they're not really supposed to talk about what it's like or she'll melt. The only thing she was able to say was that it's remarkable and everything was perfect all the time.

In Pilot, Sam's Mom, and Halloween 2: The Ghost of Hetty's Past, the process is the character going up in a beam of light.

Speak as ye choose shows Annie moving on in a flashback offscreen, though we only see a small light and we do not see her actually go up. Mary is seen moving on in Gone Gone, where she glows a bit and goes up into the air slowly.

Hell is mostly e-mails that should be Zoom calls and Zoom calls that should be e-mails according to Elias Woodstone in the episode Weekend From Hell. They can send e-mails to the living. Elias also notes that it's as described in legends such as it being hot, the devil is mean, and they play the band Chumbawamba's songs on repeat. You can be released from Hell with a contract that is signed saying that you were sincerely forgiven; then be returned to the location of their death. A person can sign their soul away to the devil with a handshake. You can also decide to willingly go back. Residents get tortured. As remarked by Pete, it is apparent that you can see into Hell through the portal, as he caught a glimpse of his dead uncle.

However, the streets are not paved with fire and there aren't chairs made of bees.

## Residents

* Heather Button (in Heaven)
* Sophia Woodstone (in Heaven)
* Sheryl (in Heaven)
* Annie (in Heaven)
* Mary (in Heaven)

## Trivia

* The term for going to Hell is called "going down on us" as mentioned in The Vault and Weekend From Hell.
