*{{Invisibility}}: The Ghosts can only be seen by Sam, and occasionally, by young children. There are some minor inconsistancies, such as having their images reflected by mirrors and glass door panels. They also cast shadows when walking in front of a room light or outside in the sun. The budget probably doesn't allow for these anomalies to be digitally removed, but as most viewers won't notice, it's probably not worth the effort.
