Sophie Bone

* Adult Sophie
* Child Sophie

**Sophie Bone** was a French Tudor Catholic noblewoman and the wife of Humphrey.

## Background

Sophie was born to an aristocratic French family in the Tudor era. She appears to have mainly been raised by a Nanny, who travelled to England with her when she was twelve. According to Humphrey, he and Sophie were arranged to marry by their respective families for their combined wealth. She was twelve when she married a fourteen year old Humphrey. Their marriage was not entirely a happy one - being French, Sophie hardly understood Humphrey's jokes and they spent little time together. When Sophie was somewhere in her thirties, her Nanny died, devastating her and leaving her lonely.

In The Bone Plot, it is shown that Sophie spoke French most of the time when interacting with her husband. Humphrey made an effort to understand what she was trying to tell him, and tried to encourage her to learn English, much to her chagrin. One evening, he permitted her to invite her friends over to their house for what he believed was a "book club". Unbeknownst to Humphrey, Sophie was leading a group of Catholics who were conspiring to assassinate Protestant Queen Elizabeth I and have her replaced by her Catholic cousin, Mary Queen of Scots. She was also perfectly fluent in English.

When one of the conspirators made a snarky comment about Humphrey, Sophie defended her husband, claiming that he is a good man. The same evening, while Sophie saw her conspirators out, Humphrey eventually discovered her plot to assassinate Elizabeth I and confronted her. It was then when Elizabeth's guards appeared to capture the conspirators. Sophie urged Humphrey to escape with her, but Humphrey insisted for her to escape without him. Thus, he ended up getting blamed for the plot, and people believed that she was just part of it.

After Humphrey accidentally decapitated himself, and the Catholic plotters were assassinated, it is likely Sophie herself was executed by Queen Elizabeth.

Dave (Houses)

> "Nah, fair enough. I wouldn't want to live here either."― Dave to Alison and Mike[src]
>
>

**Dave** is an estate agent originally charged with helping the Coopers to find a new flat. He is portrayed by actor Ed Kear.

## Biography

Dave is first seen in Who Do You Think You Are?, showing Alison and Mike around a flat which is small, depressing and doesn't have a garden but the downstairs flat had one they could look at. He doesn't seem to put much effort into selling the flat and instead spends most of his time on his phone dealing with other clients. Dave knows that the Coopers hated the flat, he even reveals that he dislikes it, but is also fully aware they couldn't possibly afford a house as he's aware of their budget. He's helpful for the most part but displays a take it or leave it attitude. While viewing the flat Alison is contacted by a solicitor to inform her she'd inherited a house from Heather Button, this is presumably where he's informed his services would no longer be required.

He returns during Getting Out after Alison and Mike have decided to sell the house to Fiona Legge and Herrington Hotels, he instantly recognizes them when he arrives at the house. Though confused by Alison's insistence to search every nook and cranny for hidden ghosts he does his best to display all the best parts of the properties he shows to them and works around Alison's want for a new build location despite them lacking character and charm. Ultimately he is dismissed by them again when Alison and Mike end up remaining at Button House thanks to the Captain's plan to get rid of Fiona.

## Appearance

Dave is a slightly overweight man with short dark hair and brown eyes. He is always seen in his work suit and usually has his phone in hand.

## Personality

He can come across as disinterested and having a poor work ethic, a man more focused on his phone than doing his job, though in the last episode of season one he does display that he knows all the information about the houses he's showing and actually has a good amount of charisma; from this it is likely to assume that he changes his effort levels depending on how low his clients' budget is. When motivated Dave is jovial, helpful and appears to enjoy his chosen occupation as well as having a talent for it.

## Quotes

* Wow, your budget's changed. (Getting Out)
* I've got places with more character but you said you only wanted new build. (Getting Out)
* First thing I'm going to show you because, let's face it, that's why we're up here. The view. (Getting Out)

## Trivia

* He is the first non main character that is shown in the series.
Jeremy Lefkowitz

**Jeremy Lefkowitz** is Trevor's brother who is first mentioned in the episode "Trevor's Body." He appears in the American sitcom *Ghosts*.

## Biography

Trevor is impressed when he learns his brother arranged for Tara Reid to come by through a Cameo-like booking app named Poppin'.

## Trivia

* His father says that he sleeps til noon and calls when he needs money.
* He couldn't make it to the funeral.
* Jeremy lived at home with his parents until he was 30.
Bjorn

* Adult
* Child

**Bjorn** is a Viking ghost who lives in the Farnsby's house and the son of Thorfinn. He appears in the American sitcom *Ghosts* and is first seen in the episode "The Baby Bjorn."

## Biography

### History

In life he married a Danish woman, Alma, and they had three children.

### Death

He left to go looking for his missing father, but died on what would later become the Farnsby Estate before managing to do so.

Samantha Arondekar first spots him outside the front of the Farnsby's house. At first she points him out to Jay saying that he looked like his D&D characters. She asks Henry Farnsby if she could use his bathroom which allows her to go looking for Bjorn. After they introduce themselves to each other, Bjorn reveals to Sam that he is Thor's son. He gets very excited to see and hear his father for the first time and they talk all night.

In "The Perfect Assistant," Bjorn is being bullied by Judy, Henry Farnsby's mother, 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.

## Appearance

A Typical Viking Guy Like His Father Thorfin Also Carrying His Shield In His Back But More Gently To The Others Especially To Judy Farnsby Mother Of Henry Farnsby And Goerge The Gay Puritan Ghosts

## Personality

A More Gently Viking Guy Who Married To Dane Woman Named Alma And Have A Children Of 3 Also Have A Relationship With Henry Farnsby Mother Judy Farnsby He Also Reminds Of Pete To Be Not Exactly Like His Father Thorfin To Be Violent Always Especially When Have Contacts In Any Danish People

## Trivia

* It's unlikely that he knows that his father doesn't like the Danes since it never came up when he was going to tell him.
Molly

**Molly** was Hetty and Elias's maid who briefly returns to Earth as a ghost after a seance.

## Biography

In life, she was one of Elias’s mistresses, and appears to have been his favorite although Hetty despised her for taking her husband, unaware she was there for financial security to provide for her son after her husband died at the mill. She appears in the American sitcom *Ghosts*.

Molly is last seen being sent back to the afterlife after saying goodbye to the ghosts at Woodstone Mansion. Hetty tries to latch on and go up with her.

## Trivia

* She is the first character in the *Ghosts* franchise to return from the afterlife and the first to be summoned through a seance.
* She describes the Afterlife as perfect and was reluctant to describe it.
* Both Thorfinn and Sasappis found her attractive when asked by Trevor.
	+ When Trevor met her in Halloween 2: The Ghost of Hetty's Past, he was instantly attracted to her and tried to flirt with her.
* It is unknown how she died, though judging by her outfit she was presumably still working as a maid. This suggests she was worked to death; something common that happened to servants back then.
* Her birthday is mentioned as November 1 in the episode The Vault, as Molly’s birthday was used as a password for Elias’s Vault. This means Molly’s zodiac sign is Scorpio.
* She gave Elias syphilis.
* Her Irish accent means that she either immigrated from Ireland or grew up around other Irish immigrants.
Solicitor

> "I'm always serious. Ask my wife."
>
>

Charles is Alison and Mike Cooper's solicitor. He has a very no-nonsense demeanour and initially appears to look down on the Coopers, though he does have their best interests at heart.

After initially appearing in the very first episode, breaking the news of Alison's inheritance of Button House, he appears again in the Season 3 episode I Love Lucy, in which the Coopers are apparently visiting to finalise taking ownership of their driveway (resolving a subplot from S1's Moonah Ston). He is the person who alerts Alison to the possibility that her recently-discovered half-sister Lucy may have a claim on the estate and advises Alison to make sure that Lucy is who says she is, which proves to be very good advice indeed.
Rev. Gerald Hatch

## Biography

Gerald Hatch was born around the 1940s and 50s. He would have joined the church when he was in his 20s, meaning that happened in about the late 60s or early 70s. He came to Button House and conducted a wedding ceremony for Sam and Clare with Ed Ed up going ridiculously far off the rails. The terrible snow almost prevented him from getting there with his broken leg, but Mike was able to get him to the wedding venue by getting a sled so they could sledge down the hill. Once he was there, he was able to conduct the wedding (albeit without some guests) and the wedding went relatively to plan.

Despite several of the guests being late or not managing to arrive at all, Reverend Hatch married Sam and Clare in the drawing room at Button House with the bridesmaids and both bride’s parents present. Whilst Allison was stalling to try and help Sam, who was beginning to get cold feet about getting married, he told stories about a time when he found a baby stuck at the bottom of the well and saved it from drowning.

It is likely that most of the stories the Reverend told when everybody was waiting for the wedding were false and that he was just stalling. The Reverend finished off the wedding and stayed for the after-party.
Lord Bone

## Trivia

* *Ghosts: The Button House Archives* reveals that a Sir Alexander Bone built Bone House (later Button House) in 1457; Bone Hall was subsequently built in 1501. It is unknown as to whether *this* Lord Bone is Sir Alexander with a title or not, nor is it known whether *he* built Bone House or inherited it from Sir Alexander (assuming he is not him).
Shiki

**Shiki** is a native Lenape ghost who is an recurring character. She appears in the American adaptation of *Ghosts*.

## Biography

### In Life

Shiki knew Sasappis in life. He had a crush on her and he killed a deer for her family and left it on her porch only to not hear from her.

### In Death

While it's unclear how she died, Shiki lives in the building that is now the Ulster County Review. She is friendly with a ghost named Winky. Shiki and Winky try to guess what Sam's background is, before learning that she can see and hear them. Sam explained her accident and how she can now see ghosts. The editor of the newspaper, Lewis, has no idea that there are two ghosts haunting his office.

She is eager to hear about Sasappis and occasionally send each other messages through Sam.

She appears briefly at the beginning of the episode Whodunnit explaining the real reason why Alberta's Murder Podcast got canceled and why Lewis was fired.

## Trivia

* She has an interest in Sasappis, however, they cannot act on their feelings due to the distance between them.

Peggy Sue

**Peggy Sue** is the ghost of a young woman who worked as a waitress at the Mojitown restaurant in Ohio before it became Mojitown. She died while wearing roller-skates after she rolled into a sharp beam inside the restaurant.

## Biography

### Life

Peggy Sue lived in an unidentified town in Ohio and worked as a carhop waitress on roller skates at a drive-in restaurant in the American 1950s. She worked there for a few years up until her death one day when she was skating around inside, delivering orders, when she accidentally overshot and couldn’t stop in time, causing her to be impaled on the car fins of a motor car in the parking area. She died as a result and became a ghost, probably being the only one there. Eventually, the restaurant closed and a Mojitown was created on the site.

### Death

Peggy Sue was likely by herself and quite lonely for about forty years until Sondra died, giving her someone to talk to. Sondra’s heart exploded after she ate a Cheese Hurricane, and she too became a ghost. Only a few years after this, Sheryl died of a severe allergic reaction to shellfish after eating a dish containing prawns. Peggy Sue was delighted that she now had two friends to talk to, but her talking would annoy Sheryl from time to time. However, six years after her death, Sheryl moved on when her daughter, Sam and Sam’s Jay, came to see if she was a ghost. It hadn’t been going too well between the two of them and Sam got upset, but Peggy Sue and Sondra came over afterward to tell her that Sheryl “never shuts up about you!” This caused Sheryl and Sam to reconcile and Sheryl then moved on. This left Peggy Sue with Sondra as a friend while they were ghosts.

## Trivia

* A fourth ghost named Harold is mentioned in the episode. It's not revealed how he died, but it is mentioned he has already passed over. If Harold had lived in a house previously on the property, he might have predated Peggy Sue on the property. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the episode to suggest this possibility.
Isabelle Higham

## Isabelle Button

**Isabelle Button** (*née* **Higham**) was presumably the only child of Lord Higham, owner of Higham House, as Button House was known in the Regency period.

## Background

At some point before 10 October 1824, in their early twenties, Isabelle met and fell in love with a poet, Thomas Thorne. The two became lovers, but could not marry due to Isabelle thinking Thomas was not noble enough for her father’s standards. Thomas’s scheming cousin, Francis Button, also wished to marry Isabelle for her estate.

Thomas describes his final day with Isabelle in The Thomas Thorne Affair. Francis took a love letter from his cousin and said he’d give it to Isabelle to confirm his feelings. However, Francis actually burnt the letter and wrote a new one under Thomas' alias to falsely make Isabelle believe that he no longer loved her. He then wrote another letter under Isabelle's alias, claiming that she did not love him, either.

Thomas then fought against an officer who he thought had insulted Isabelle's honour, calling her ugly and untalented. However, this was untrue and Francis had lied about it after he’d overheard the officer call Mary Shelley “ugly and untalented”. In a traditional gun fight, you take ten paces with your back turned to your opponent, and then turn around quickly to shoot. But Thomas didn’t know this and Francis used this to his advantage. He told Thomas he had to take twenty paces, not ten, and when the officer turned around he saw Thomas still pacing and fired, he managed to hit Thomas in the back. The bullet went right through him and out of his abdomen.

Contrary to his idealised view, Thomas did not passionately embrace Isabelle as he died; in fact, no one was there for him in his final moments at all. Although she was devastated, Isabelle quickly got seduced by Francis in his pretence to comfort her, and they married. Eventually Francis and Isabelle’s child moved back to the house. The house was renamed Button House at some point.

Isabelle became a great grandparent to George Button, and a great grandparent-in-law to Fanny Button.

## Trivia

* Isabelle and Fanny both had cruel, deceiving husbands.

Free Pass

**Free Pass** is the fourth episode of Series 1 of *Ghosts* and the 4th episode overall. It premiered on 6 May 2019.

## Plot

The episode opens with the couple having breakfast in the kitchen while the ghosts observe them. While going through the letters from today's post, Alison finds a letter from a film company asking to use their house for an upcoming film. The couple invites the director and her crew for a tour around the manor. The director tells the couple that the film they are shooting is a regency period drama and they warn them that there is going to be nudity and sex much to Fanny's chagrin, but Kitty's excitement. They tell the couple that they're going to pay them £3000 per day for three months in exchange for letting them use their manor. Due to their money running low, the couple quickly accepts their offer, while keeping quiet about the manor's structural problems.

The rest of the film production arrives and the Captain seemingly takes a fancy to the production's assistant director, Adam. Pat teaches Mary and Kitty about the art of movie-making, Robin gets distracted by the studio lights, Julian has Alison place a bet on the horse-racing for him, while Thomas is driven to despair upon learning that the film is about Lord Byron whom he hates. Mike becomes jealous when Alison meets her favorite actor, Toby Nightingale, joking to Adam that the actor is Alison's "free pass" which Thomas overhears. Thomas learns what a "free pass" is from Julian which Fanny also overhears.

As the filming goes underway, the couple monitors the flow of staff and objects into the ballroom. The situation becomes intense when the film crew does a close-up take of the characters. However, Mike manages to prop the ceiling support just beneath the ballroom after seeing large cracks beginning to form just as the scene upstairs is completed. The film crew then moves to one of the bedrooms where the sex scene is going to take place. Things take a turn for the worst when Toby falls through the floor of the bedroom while filming the sex scene, prompting the film production to leave the manor without paying the couple. The episode ends with Alison informing Mike that they at least won £100 from a horse-racing bet placed by Julian.

She was one of Herrington Hotels’s managers and was responsible for purchasing more buildings to renovate into hotels.

Moonah Ston Ritual

The **Moonah Ston Ritual** is an ancient ritual celebrating the moon. Robin is passionate about it. In the episode "Moonah Ston", the ghosts perform the ritual during a lunar eclipse.

## The Ritual

The ritual involves all the ghosts meeting in the dining room (the centre of the former sacred site). One of the ghosts (usually Thomas , though the Captain wins the vote in the episode) does a reading base on the original text. The original ritual is roughly "Thank be to moonah. Good light in sky", and the Captain paraphrases it as "Thanks be to the wondrous moon, and the guiding light it giveth between 2100 hours-" (the rest is unintelligible due to the loud chanting).

The ritual also involves most of the ghosts dancing around the middle of the dining room and chanting "moonah stonah". Robin also howls at the moon from the middle of the room.

After a while, Alison banishes the ghosts and distracts them with a DVD of Friends.
Micah's cult

**Micah's cult** is a cult that only appears in Jay's Friends. It appears to be made up of ten people who listen to Micah. They only appear in the Ghosts (CBS series).

## General

Micah has a speech to recruit members with. To lure Jay Arondekar to join he uses a basketball metaphor. Micah doesn't usually have one on one moments with the members as noted by Norm.

The patches that the members use are a proprietary blend of vitamins and nutrients that enhance one's quality of life. The recipe came to Micah in a dream.

They attempt to move in before being foiled by Samantha Arondekar, who learns personal things about Micah that drove them out.

## Members

* Norm
* Alana

## Trivia

* Norm doesn't appear to have have a lot of things. "Self-esteem, a mother that loved him, a filter when it comes to sharing personal details" according to Isaac.
* Flower recognized the signs of them being a cult rather then a pyramid scheme.
* Micah reveals that everybody's getting their own planets and his bodily fluids still cure the common cold.
Carol Butcher

**Carol Vivienne Butcher** (nee **Slogguth**) is the wife of Pat. Pat died in the 1980s and she then married again, to Pat’s best friend Morris who she was having an affair with while married to Pat.

## Biography

Carol married Pat in the 1960s/1970s, and then gave birth to a son, Daley, afterwards. Pat was a scoutmaster, and Carol was the manager of a bowls club (bowling alley). Carol and Pat were in love, but ultimately Pat was not the most romantic. One night in Something to Share?, Carol was heard, asking if Pat wanted to go to a new, romantic Italian restaurant down the street from their house, but Pat said no as it was fish and chips night. This prompted Carol to just leave the house to play nightly bingo. Pat's constant blow-offs seem to have led to Carol’s affair with Morris.

In 1984, Pat died of an archery arrow being shot through his neck, and Pat tried to call Carol, but he couldn’t. After Pat’s death, Carol and Morris likely mourned and felt guilty of their affair. They did however marry sometime later. Pat's death made Carol a single mother to her and Pat's son Daley. Daley seems to quite like Morris as a step-father, and Daley doesn’t have any issues with Morris.

* Alive
* Spirit Form

**Eric** is a friend of Bela Arondekar who spends Christmas with her at Woodstone Mansion. He first appears in the Ghosts special The Christmas Spirit.

## History

Eric gives Bela a ride to the mansion for Christmas and gets invited to celebrate the holiday. He is just friends with her, however, he is shown to have a crush on her. He owns his own architectural firm in Boston, they just did a new wing at the hospital.

After his Pop Pop died, his Nana said that she could still talk to him and nobody believed her. However, Eric believed her and believed in ghosts. When Bela informs him of the house being haunted, he is amazed to hear he and his grandmother were right about the supernatural. After a little convincing, he agreed to be possessed by Trevor to make Bela happy. He initially thought that they needed to a seance but instead agreed to being electrocuted. However, that never happens with instead Sam gets possessed by Thorfinn.

He attempts to leave with Jay Arondekar convincing him to return to the mansion. He was going to leave his car for her to leave whenever she wanted. He attempts to get possessed by Trevor but instead dies. He is seen as a spirit and then materializes as a ghost.

Despite just dying, he is casual about his situation and meets Trevor who thanks him for trying. While Bela is crying over his body, he remarks on the unfortunate timing after she voices her regrets of not giving him a chance. He then meets Flower who introduces herself and reveals her death before he sees Alberta and Sasappis at the same time. However, his death was short-lived as he was revived soon by Thorfinn, who was possessing Sam. Eric's ghost goes back into his body and Bela takes him upstairs to his bed.

Much later, Jay calls him "deeply unstable" which makes Bela like him more, indicating that she might date him.

A Lot to Take In

**A Lot to Take In** is the second episode of Series 3 of *Ghosts* and the 15th episode overall. It premiered on 16 August 2021.

## Plot

Following the broadcast of Alison's TV interview in The Bone Plot, a stranger turns up at Button House claiming to be her half-sister - prompting a variety of reactions from the ghosts. Julian reacts with concern that the woman is pretending to be related to Alison for money or property, though this fear goes mostly ignored by Alison and the ghosts. Fanny also expresses fear that the woman will steal her identity. For the first time in the series, Thomas admits that his love for Alison may have been misplaced and claims that he must metaphorically leave her, though this changes later in the episode when he decides that he still loves her.

Meanwhile, Mike has first-day nerves in his new job, leading Julian to recall the only time *he* experienced first-day nerves: the day he became a ghost. The Captain and Humphrey both stay with Mike as he learns the ropes of his new job, and have an argument regarding whether or not The Captain could do Mike's job better than he can. Pat helps Kitty devise a dance routine after Alison, who had promised she'd spend the day with Kitty, becomes busy.

Annie

> "Looks a silly arse."― Annie to Mary[src]
>
>

**Annie** was a Puritan (strict Protestant) ghost who haunted Button House for some time, she was portrayed by Bridget Christie.

## Background

### History

Annie was married to a Puritan man who was rather boring. He didn’t like her having opinions or having fun and they didn’t seem to get on well. Annie doesn’t seem to have believed much in the Puritan ideology and seems to have had a constant desire to have fun, however Puritan society was strict and things like games, sports, the theatre, music and even Christmas were cancelled by Oliver Cromwell, so she never got the chance. She likely died in the mid 1600s, presumably when Oliver Cromwell overthrew King Charles I and was named Lord Protector, as that was when the Puritan ideology became more common.

### Death

Annie had taken some bread for herself and ate it after her husband lashed out at her and left her to go with his friend. However, Annie died after eating the bread, implying she suffered an allergic reaction or choked to death. She and Mary both appear to have been around the same age.

Annie haunted Button House for at least 100 years and was a 'true friend' to Mary during that time. Annie taught Mary how to voice her opinions (which Annie chose to do a lot after dying as having an opinion was something she was unable to share while alive).

She and Mary spent October 10, 1824 together listening to the series of performances at Higham House and quietly judging them. When she first saw Thomas Thorne she deemed him to look like 'a silly arse' and didn't appear overly impressed by him. She later witnessed Francis Button's manipulation of Thomas and was there when Thomas became a ghost, and she seems to have been sympathetic to him, despite deeming him as a bit stupid.

At some point post 1824 Annie moved on to the afterlife, something Mary refers to as being 'sucked off'.

## Appearance

Annie was a slender woman with dark hair and dark eyes. She wore traditional Puritan clothing of a black dress, white apron and bonnet tied under her chin.

## Personality

Very little is known about Annie's personality, although her friendship with Mary suggests that they may have shared many traits. She enjoyed insulting her husband and making fun of him after her death.

## Trivia

* The fact she insults Thomas when she first sees him suggests she either didn't believe in the Puritan ideology while alive or later cast aside those beliefs and became more forthright and opinionated; possibly thanks to her friendship with Mary, who seems to have been Catholic.
* Despite her husband’s strict and hostile manner towards Annie while she was alive, he did seem visibly upset when Annie’s corpse was taken away.
Betsy the boiler

**"Betsy"** is the old boiler at Button House and is located in the cellar, where the plague ghosts live.

## History

### Early years

Betsy was originally installed at Button House in the early fifties when it was brand new and relatively state of the art for the time period. The plague ghosts have in-depth knowledge of how the boiler works, including how to fix it, having watched people perform maintenance on it over the years.

### Present day

Mike Cooper, in earlier episodes, has difficulty fixing it. Unbeknownst to him, the plague ghosts shout instructions at him, telling him how to fix the boiler, but unlike his wife, Mike cannot hear them.

After Alison gains the ability to see and hear ghosts, she finally manages to convince Mike that she is not crazy by relaying the advice from the plague ghosts, allowing him to successfully fix the boiler.
