5	!!Maxine Gottwin
6	[[quoteright:272:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1462428164_rapsheetmax_copy.png]]
7	An unlicensed ghost exterminator with a talent for witchcraft and causing trouble. Maxine has an obsession with the supernatural and a love for her job, even though the changing times have made such a career far from lucrative. Combined with her disregard for the law and general recklessness she is as often as much of a danger to those around her as the ghosts she is hired to exterminate.

13	[[quoteright:277:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1462428159_rapsheetjack_copy.png]]
14	Maxine's partner-in-crime and a disgraced newscaster. Jack lost his former job in a very public and humiliating scandal that left him infamous nationwide. Now he works with Maxine hunting ghosts and trying not to the die. Tormented each day by those who recognize him, nearly killed by ghosts or worse, and constantly in trouble with the law, Maxine is the one bright spot left in his life and he helps to anchor her somewhat to reality.

20	[[quoteright:284:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1462428171_jdubs.png]]
21	The son of Maxine and Jack's landlords. John Wayne is always willing to lend a hand, and with Maxine around that quality tends to lead him into danger. Friendly and patient to a fault, he has far more tolerance for Maxine's antics than his parents or most people for that matter.

26	!!Victoria Blackwell
27	A reclusive wealthy author and nominal benefactor to Maxine and Jack. She specializes in fiction and non-fiction works about the paranormal, and has a house full of ghost-possessed inanimate objects as research material - and good company, as she rarely leaves home.[[spoiler: Her surname is given at one point as Morgan. It is mentioned that she is a widow as well. It is unclear if she is related to Vera and Alice's father, if so it is most likely as stepmother since she is in her mid thirties, not much older than the sisters.]]
