History Series / GhostsUS

* ExtremelyShortIntroSequence: The opening for the first episode at least is only several seconds long.

** In the original British series, it was never really explained what jobs Allison and Mike had before they came into possession of the mansion. Here, Sam is a journalist and Jay is a chef.

When the ghosts about the two's plans, they take it upon themselves to scare the couple away. If the spirits were anxious about the commotion a renovation and B&B will create in their home, it's nothing compared to when they realize Samantha, after a near-death experience, is the first living person who can see and hear them.

The departed souls are a close-knit, eclectic group that includes Alberta (Danielle Pinnock), a saucy Prohibition-era lounge singer; Issac (Brandon Scott Jones), a pompous 1700s Militiaman; Flower (Sheila Carrasco), a '60s hippie who's as spaced out as she is chatty; Thorfinn (Devan Chandler Long), a bloodthirsty Viking; Trevor (Asher Grodman), a sleazy '90s yuppie caught with his trousers down-- literally; Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky), the original owner of the house back in the 19th-century; Sasappis (Roman Zaragoza), a level-headed indigenous Native American and the oldest of the ghosts; Pete (Richie Moriarty), an upbeat '80s scout troop leader shot in the neck with an arrow, and a beheaded '50s greaser who spent most of the time reuniting his head with his body.

* WhodunnitToMe: Alberta is convinced she was murdered and asks Samantha to solve her murder, even though the other ghosts say she just got a heart attack.

** Isaac shares qualities similar to both the Captain (both being military men who are closeted gays) and to Thomas (both become jealous upon learning that a contemporary whom they loathed is famous and well-remembered while they themselves have been relegated to obscurity - Creator/LordByron to Thomas and UsefulNotes/AlexanderHamilton to Isaac).

* CatchingUpOnHistory: The older ghosts are mostly unaware of such modern inventions as cars, television and the internet. Isaac, in particular, is shocked and incensed to learn that that "little twerp" UsefulNotes/AlexanderHamilton not only became famous, but also got his own [[Theatre/{{Hamilton}} musical]].

** Whilst Trevor largely fills the role that Julian occupied in the British series, being the youngest and most morally ambigious of the ghosts, his obsession with Sam is very similar to Thomas's obsession with Allison.

* StaircaseTumble: Sam gained the ability to see the other ghosts by tripping over a vase moved by Trevor and tumbling down the stairs as a result.

* {{Poltergeist}}: Trevor is the only one of the ghosts who can move objects, although it takes all his concentration to just barely nudge them.

** New ghosts, aside from Pete, had to be invented wholesale to adjust to American history and its eras while still filling in the roles of the originals. Also, the eras in which they died are closer to each other with a majority, Alberta ('20s to '30s), headless Greaser ('50s), Flower ('60s), Pete ('80s) and Trevor ('90s), dying in the 20th century.

* AdaptationDeviation: This is necessary considering the fact that this is a longer American season than the British 6 episode season. For instance, new ghosts, such as the hippie Flower, the Native American Sasappis and Diva Alberta, have been invented wholesale.

* NoPants: Trevor died naked from the waist down. His shirt covers his genitals most of the time... unless he raises his arms, to the horror of the others.
* OutOfTheLoop: The older ghosts are mostly unaware of such modern inventions as cars, television and the internet. Isaac, in particular, is shocked and incensed to learn that that "little twerp" UsefulNotes/AlexanderHamilton not only became famous, but also got his own [[Theatre/{{Hamilton}} musical]].

It all started when Samantha (Rose), a cheerful, overly ambitious freelance journalist, and Jay (Utkarsh), a composed but cynical chef, discovered the former gained inheritance to the once-grand Woodstone Estate in the countryside. Against their better judgment (mostly Jay's), the couple decided to invest all of their money to convert this major fixer-upper into a bed-and-breakfast establishment. Only just one small problem, the whole house is inhabited by the spirits of its deceased residents.

* BearsAreBadNews: Flower was killed when a bear attacked her whilst she was on hallucinogens at a music festival.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Hetty's fears of who could ruin her house include murderers, perverts, and Irishmen.
