On Mike's end, he made a big, financial decision without consulting Alison first back in series 1, which is a bit of a red flag especially in a long-term relationship. And while it could be argued that he only did it because Alison was in the hospital, he still should've waited until she was better. He's very insecure about his relationship with Alison, to the extent of getting jealous when her celebrity crush shows up, Facebook stalking her ex-boyfriend and [[spoiler: almost ruining a wedding when he overhears that Alison may have had cold feet on their own wedding day]]. If their relationship was in its early stages then this wouldn't be unusual, but they're married and supposed to be in a long-term, committed relationship, and both jealous behaviour (even mild) and insecurities are usually a sign that something's wrong. He's also been upholding a lie that he's a black belt in Taekwondo, something he really should've admitted sooner.

* '''Confirmed''' as of season 3. Her father (who's related to the Buttons) died when she was very young, and her mother died more recently. She's also an only child [[spoiler: since the half-sister who turns up on her doorstep is an unrelated woman trying to scam her]].

* '''Jossed''' as of Season 5. Even though the other ghosts suspect Eleanor, it turns out that Kitty [[spoiler: died of a spider bite.

When she asks the ghosts what have been going on, a reply of "Julian..." amidst giggles can be heard. The ghosts and Alison never really liked Julian, so perhaps they're happy that he is no longer there.

There were no black peasants in the British Isles during that time period. She may have been part of a foreign household that visited the area and was left behind.

* Main/{{Jossed}}. In the Button House Archives, it says that it happens at random.

* ''Confirmed'', though this happens in the 2023 Children In Need special rather than the main series (so the canonicity of this incident may be debatable). It is Music/KylieMinogue, played by herself, who can see ghosts, following a head injury. She arrives at Button House as part of a music festival being held there.

* '''Jossed''' — the series ends with Alison and Mike selling Button House and moving out, and returning many years later (when both of them have gone grey) as regular guests to Button House, now converted to a hotel.

* '''Jossed''' as of Season 5. Even though the other ghosts suspect Eleanor, it turns out that Kitty [[spoiler: died of a spider bite]].

Supplementary material implies that someone engineered her demise. Because she puked in series 2, there are theories that she was poisoned. In series 3, it's revealed that her father planned on giving her equal inheritance to her sister, despite her sister, Elinor, demanding most of it (if not all of it) because she's their father's ''real'' daughter. Conclusion? Elinor poisoned Kitty so she could get all of the inheritance.

Consider: Robin's brain is too primitive to fully master speech. Combine that with his facial structure and pale skin, and it's a near certainty that he's at least part Neanderthal. (Thanks to genetic studies, we now know that the first modern humans in Britain were dark-skinned; the first post-Neanderthal people with pale skin were Neolithic farmers vastly more advanced than Robin.) Yet he died within sight of a stone circle - which weren't built until the Neolithic, thousands of years after the Neanderthals were supplanted. His isolated tribe must have survived in the wild all that time. He was already an ancient throwback ''before'' he was a ghost.

** No evidence as of yet that the UK and US series take place in the same universe/continuity...

* New Zealand: A Maori, a member of an expedition, a settler in the New Zealand Company, a farmer trampled by sheep, a suffragist, a soldier and a miner.

* Egypt (possibly only a piece of land): A murdered relation of a Pharaoh, slaves or farmers (similar to the plague pit), an ancient priest, a Roman soldier, a Coptic priest, a Barbary pirate murdered by slaves he took from West Africa or Europe, a harem slave, a Napoleonic soldier and an archaeologist.
