** [[spoiler:After Carol becomes a ghost, Pete accidentally gets both Alberta and Nancy to pretend to be his girlfriend. When Carol believes Pete is cheating on Alberta with Nancy, she has the audacity to try to give him pointers on cheating. Pete can only take it for so long before he reveals the actual true so he can vent his frustration at her.]]

* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: A somewhat meta example. Pete says his approach to women is to befriend them, which he admits often results in them losing the ability to see him as a romantic option. He calls this strategy getting into the "friend zone". He died about a decade before the term "friend zone" was actually coined in an episode of ''Series/{{Friends}}''

** They are physically unable to leave the grounds of Woodstone. Any attempt to escape simply reverses them back to face the house. As a result, they are forced to spend eternity together as housemates, so they try to make the best of the situation.

* DecompositeCharacter: Thomas Thorne's crush on the living girl and rivalry with a much more famous contemporary are instead given to Trevor and Isaac, respectively.

* TheStoner: She's assumingly been doing drugs in high school and even died while high.

* MeaningfulName: Her real name, Susan, can be translated from many languages to flower. This is probably where her nickname is derived from.

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The Ghosts are from different eras of history, social classes and for Thorfinn and Sasappis, cultures. Trevor is the [[TokenMinority token Jew while Isaac is the token homosexual]] of the main Woodstone ghosts. Alberta, Sasappis, and Flower are people of color: black, native, and Hispanic. They all died on the property and became a found family along with Sam.

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Her trans-Atlantic counterpart Fanny was murdered by her cheating husband. Hetty's cheating husband Elias predeceased her. [[spoiler: Here she takes her own life as she had no one turn to when the police came for her.]]

An officer in the Continental Army who died of dysentery during the Revolutionary War. He is the third oldest of the main ghosts.

* AffectionateNickname: His wife Beatrice gave him the nickname "Cricket".
* AllGaysLoveTheatre: He states that musical theatre is a passion of his and desperately wants a Broadway musical about him, just like Hamilton.
* TheBeard: In life, he was married to Beatrice despite the fact that he was gay. Justified as being gay in the 13 colonies was punishable by death. In death, he feels guilty that he ruined Beatrice's life because he was gay and therefore was not able to love her.

** "The Traveling Agent" has Pete finally discover his ghost power: He can leave the property and go anywhere he wants to.

* NiceGuy: While she can be annoying at times, Flower is a genuinely good person. She is also the only house ghost who would go into the basement and be friendly to the Cholera Ghosts.

* BigBeautifulWoman: She's a large woman, and considered beautiful by many, especially by Pete. Deconstructed in "Alberta's Podcast", where she reveals, for all her beauty, hard work, and talent, fat women had a ''hell'' of a time trying to make it show business in her day, and she was frequently ignored in favor of skinnier women who weren't nearly as good. [[spoiler:She eventually got so frustrated with being passed over [[RemovingTheRival that she resorted to outright sabotauge]] so she could finally get her chance.]]

** "Holes are Bad" shows how she died; [[spoiler: she committed suicide via strangulation to avoid consequences of her and Elias' repeated law-breaking in the businesses. She thought that her son Thomas would have a better life inheriting the family money and house, which would have been seized as punishment for her and Elias' actions.]]

** "Holes are Bad" shows how she died; [[spoiler: she committed suicide via strangulation to avoid consequences of her and Elias' repeated law-breaking in the businesses. With no one to turn to, she used the life; she thought that her son Thomas would have a better life inheriting the family money and house, which would have been seized as penalty.]]

* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler: She shears a bit of Humphrey's backstory as they took the blame for a crime they didn't commit. In both cases, it resulted in the deaths.]]

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler: She committed suicide so Thomas wouldn't lose his inheritance to the authorities, as it was the punishment for her and Elias' frequent lawbreaking. However this turns out to be worthless as Thomas eventually murdered Alberta.]]

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Her trans-Atlantic counterpart Fanny was murdered by her cheating husband. Hetty's cheating husband Elias predeceased her.

* TookALevelInJerkass: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. While Sam mostly retains her NiceGirl personality in season 2, she becomes more ego-driven. When high on her ego trips she more prone to make things about her and less prone to think about other people's feelings (see SmallNameBigEgo for more details).

* DudeWheresMyRespect?: A fixture of Isaac's personality. In his life, Isaac was a member of the Second Continental Congress, a captain of his own company in the Continental Army, and even invented the sniper rifle 80 years before Joseph Whitworth. And yet no one knows who he is, something Isaac is very bitter about (especially since UsefulNotes/AlexanderHamilton, a man Isaac hated, is famous to the modern day).
