* LethallyStupid: Anthony Lockwood has shades of this, as he will often leap unprepared into dangerous situations, much to George's chagrin. For example, when he pushed his employees to explore Combe Carey Hall with him under ridiculously unfavourable circumstances.

* EmptyBedroomGrieving: In the first book, ''The Screaming Staircase'', when Lucy joins Lockwood & Co. and their headquarters at 35 Portland Row, she is warned by Lockwood against going into a certain forbidden room. Towards the beginning of the third book, ''The Hollow Boy'', [[spoiler:this is revealed to have been the room of his sister, Jessica Lockwood, who was killed by a ghost from a pot that had been stored in the room, one of many such relics collected by his parents. With his parents dead as well, he has kept his sister's room preserved in the state it was in when she died, with her death-glow over the bed. In the final novel, ''The Empty Grave'', he finally opens up to the others and begins investigating the various items stored in there so that they can make use of them. At the end of the novel, a spirit-gate is set up in the room for the group to escape to the Other Side in the wake of a ferocious attack by their enemies. In the aftermath, the death-glow fades and Lockwood decides to finally move forward and convert the room into a guest bedroom, showing that he has moved on from his sister's death.]]

In the first book, Lucy weaponises this by [[spoiler:releasing the ghost of Annabelle Ward and letting her destroy her murderer (who was attempting to kill the main cast at the time.)]]
