Who is Mike?Mike is Charlotte's husband, who moves with her to Button House to help renovate the dilapidated property. He isn't able to see the ghosts like Alison can, but does believe that they exist and supports her in coping with them where he can. The writers of Ghosts have dismissed the idea of finding a way for Mike to see the paranormal tena...

Who is Julian? A Conservative MP who passed away under embarrassing circumstances. Hint: he's not wearing any trousers.

His fellow ghosts regard Julian as morally bankrupt, although he has shown a softer side from time to time. Wher...

Who is Pat?Another of the ghosts in Button House: a former scout leader who got an arrow in the neck during a day trip gone horribly wrong.

The Horrible Histories, Yonderland and Peep Show favourite has a memorabl...

Who is Sir Humphrey Bone? Humphrey is a ghost from the Tudor period who was beheaded. As a result, his head often detaches from his body and goes missing around the house.
