* AmusingInjuries: Numerous examples, but the most noteworthy is to a ghost Jed, who died as a result of an explosion and had his penis disfigured as a result. Though it wasn't actually shown, a description makes clear its appearance, to Jed's embarrassment.

!!Includes examples of:

* ClassicalAntiHero: Neither Jack nor Maxine has their shit ''remotely'' together — emotionally, legally, or financially.
* TheHunter/OccultDetective: Maxine is a lot of the former and a bit of the latter, with Jack tagging along to assist her. It seems to be a family business of sorts, based on what we know of her grandmother.
* NoodleIncident: Whatever happened to get Jack fired from his job as a newscaster. All that we know (thus far) is that he's infamous nationwide for it.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: There's a wide variety of different types of ghost; which kind (if any) manifests has to do in part with the cause of death, and GhostlyGoals are apparently involved ''sometimes'' but not always. Notably, ghosts can be legal citizens so long as they fill out the proper paperwork and aren't one of the murdery kinds.
* OutsideContextProblem: Nobody seems to know exactly what Lucy's deal is, besides "not a ghost" and "understands exactly enough about human interaction to be manipulative and offputting."
