CBS Ghosts: Meet All 8 Spirits, Their Eras, and How They Died

The CBS sitcom Ghosts brings together eight spirits from wildly different eras, each haunting the same country estate. The ensemble includes Thorfinn, a Viking from the 11th century; Sasappis, a Lenape man from the 16th century; Hetty, a Gilded Age socialite; Alberta, a 1920s jazz singer; Pete, a 1980s scout leader; Trevor, a 1990s finance bro; Flower, a 1960s hippie; and Isaac, a Revolutionary War officer. Their deaths are as varied as their personalities—from a lightning strike to a fatal bear encounter—and their backstories drive the show's comedy and heart. Understanding each ghost's time period and cause of death is key to appreciating the show's clever historical humor and character dynamics. With new episodes continuing to reveal more about their pasts, fans can expect even deeper dives into these lovable spirits' unfinished business.
