Ghosts characters — every ghost of Woodstone by era
Everyone who haunts Woodstone Manor, in the order they died — and the living who share the house with them.
A thousand years of roommates
The ghosts of Woodstone, in the order they died.
Died ~1000
Thorfinn
Played by Devan Chandler Long
The oldest ghost at Woodstone: a Viking explorer who died about a thousand years ago. Loud, sentimental and very fond of Flower.
Died ~1000
Bjorn
Played by Christian Jadah
A Viking ghost who haunts the Farnsbys' house next door — and turns out to be family to Thorfinn.
Died 1500s
Sasappis
Played by Román Zaragoza
A Lenape man who has haunted the land for about five centuries. Dry, sarcastic and the house's best storyteller.
Died 1600s
Patience
Played by Mary Holland
A Puritan ghost who spent centuries lost underground before resurfacing at Woodstone, with very firm ideas about sin and witches.
Died 1777
Captain Isaac Higgintoot
Played by Brandon Scott Jones
An American Revolutionary War officer who died in 1777 and still resents that history forgot him. Proud, theatrical and in love with Nigel.
Died 1777
Nigel Chessum
Played by John Hartman
A British soldier from the same war who haunts the grounds — and the great love of Isaac's afterlife.
Died 1800s
Nancy
Played by Betsy Sodaro
The loudest of the basement ghosts, the cholera victims who were kept in the house during an outbreak and never left the cellar.
Died 1890s
Henrietta "Hetty" Woodstone
Played by Rebecca Wisocky
The Gilded Age lady of the house and Sam's ancestor. Prim, snobbish and slowly discovering the modern world — and her own power.
Died 1890s
Elias Woodstone
Played by Matt Walsh
Hetty's husband, a robber baron whose sins sent him somewhere much hotter than Woodstone. He keeps finding ways back.
Died 1920s
Alberta Haynes
Played by Danielle Pinnock
A glamorous jazz singer from the Prohibition era whose death at Woodstone was a mystery for a century. Fabulous, and she knows it.
Died 1940s
Joan
Played by Taylor Ortega
A fast-talking 1940s screenwriter who, unlike most Woodstone ghosts, can roam far beyond the property.
Died 1950s
Crash
Played by Alex Boniello
A headless 1950s greaser who wandered the grounds looking for his head — one of the first ghosts Sam ever met.
Died 1960s
Flower
Played by Sheila Carrasco
A free-spirited hippie from the sixties who lived in a commune on the grounds. Dreamy, kind and fuzzy on the details.
Died 1985
Pete Martino
Played by Richie Moriarty
A relentlessly upbeat scout troop leader who died on a camping trip in the eighties with an arrow through his neck.
Died 1980s
Stephanie
Played by Odessa A'zion
An eighties teenager who died on prom night and haunts the attic, waking up every so often to cause chaos.
Died 2000
Trevor Lefkowitz
Played by Asher Grodman
A late-nineties Wall Street bro who died at a party in 2000 — without his trousers. Shallow on the surface, loyal underneath.
Jessica
Played by Nichole Sakura
The ghost who lives in their assistant Freddie's car, and Sasappis's first romance in centuries.
The living
Sam
Rose McIver
A freelance writer who inherits Woodstone Manor and, after a near-fatal fall, can see and hear its ghosts — which makes her the house's only translator.
Jay
Utkarsh Ambudkar
Sam's husband, a chef with big restaurant dreams. He can't see or hear the ghosts, but he's learned to live with them — mostly.
Bela
Punam Patel
Jay's confident, scheming younger sister, who eventually becomes part of the Woodstone circle.
Kyle
Ben Feldman
A charming living man who, like Sam, can see ghosts — and becomes a complication, then an ally.
Carol
Caroline Aaron
Pete's widow, still very much alive, whose visits never fail to rattle him.
Mark
Tristan D. Lalla
The contractor who keeps Woodstone standing and Jay's restaurant build moving — mostly unaware of who else is watching.
Henry Farnsby
Mark Linn-Baker
Half of the Farnsbys, the nosy couple next door who start as obstacles and end up neighbours worth having.
Margaret Farnsby
Kathryn Greenwood
Henry's wife and the sharper half of the Farnsbys. Not to be confused with Hetty's sister Margaret, who arrives in season 6.
Todd Pearlman
Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll
Alberta's devoted superfan, later Sam's podcast co-host and a podcaster in his own right.
Eric
Andrew Leeds
Bela's devoted boyfriend, whose Christmas visit to Woodstone changes more for him than anyone expected.
