** Pete's ghost power is the ability to leave the mansion's grounds. This is foreshadowed by his frequent boasts about having been a travel agent in life, someone who manages the affairs of others looking to take trips, as well as the title of the episode it was revealed in, "The Travel Agent".

* In "The Christmas Spirit", Thor can still see all the ghosts while possessing Sam. This may seem like a continuity error, since Hetty couldn't see any of them during her time being possessed, but there's a major difference. Hetty possessed Jay, but Thor possessed [[ISeeDeadPeople Sam]].

* In "The Silent Partner," Trevor is able to take Isaac's $10,000 and turn it into a fortune, enough for Jay to finance the opening of the restaurant. Why didn't Trevor do this beforehand, since he new Sam & Jay were needing money? After the Nigerian Prince scam, Sam specifically told him ''not'' touch her and Jay's finances again. Technically, T-money was using ''Isaac's'' funds, although Jay could have been held liable for when the stock nose-dived for a bit. Luckily, Sam & Jay (and Isaac) weren't greedy, and cashed-out, making the needed cash.

* We finally learn the real way Hetty died, and boy does it fall under fridge horror the more you think about it. She strangled herself to death with a phone cord in order to insure her son would be able to inherit the family wealth before the cops could seize it. The way the room and the cord was set up makes it clear that Hetty would have had to actually strangle herself, nowhere to tie the cord to hang herself with it...this would not have been a quick way to go, and she would have had to keep forcing herself to keep the pressure up until the point of no return. The bloody cuts around the cord when she reveals it definitely do not show a pretty picture

* "The Travelling Agent" reveals that Pete's ghost power is not being bound by the ghost boundary. Given that the usual method of undoing ghostly possession is to put the possessed in the car and drive off the property, this might not work if Pete possesses someone.

spoilers up for now but may take them down later....also can we please keep future examples to stuff strictly in the actual show itself? "Wouldn't it be messed up if Sam went here?" could go on forever.

* In "Polterguest," Saul the Poltergeist falls fast for Alberta and she calls him out for being "too clingy." Since, as a poltergeist, he literally clings to a living human, instead of a place, this also affects his ghost state.
* In "Holes Are Bad," the ghosts finally find out that Flower is stuck down the well on the property. Since it is a circular "wall," she can't climb out so to reach her they lower the rope-like telephone cord down to her. While it would never have worked for a normal, living person, Flower is a ghost and has no weight. The cord is used as a guide to help her concentrate enough to climb the well wall.

* Many of the ghosts have a power related to who they were as a Living or how they died. Thorfinn was struck by lightning and can now manipulate electricity to a small extent, Alberta was a jazz singer and her humming can be heard by the Livings, Isaac died of dysentery and he can create a sewage stench when a Living passes through him, Flower the tripping hippie can make people high by passing through them, etc. And then there's Trevor, no-pants finance bro, who has the power to interact with the physical world by concentrating really hard and pushing things with his finger. This seems odd, since it has nothing to do with him or how he died...until you realize that the womanizing, sex-obsessed Wall Street bro literally has the power to "finger" things.

* Hetty immediately accepting Isaac when he comes out to her seems rather out of left field for her character given her many outdated views, but it makes more sense when you consider that her own son Thomas was gay himself ([[spoiler: Thomas murdered Alberta so that he could be with her husband, Earl]]). Even if Hetty most likely would not have initially accepted Thomas' sexual orientation, she would have had at least a century to come to terms with it and better understand him and by extension other gay people.

* For someone like Sam, going to jail seems even more horrifying than it actually is, prisoner ghosts who died from things such as the death penalty, being murdered by an inmate or beaten to death by prison guards, or dying from neglect in solitary confinement. Plus Sam could get into trouble if she mistakes prisoner ghosts with actual prisoners or said something out loud to a ghost which catches the attention of a prisoner...

* It's implied that since some parts of the world there are more people dying than others (such as Asia and Africa) also means more ghosts who died horrific places. It's best if Sam does not visit Africa or Asia for vacation...
