CBS’ Ghosts features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time, making fans wonder “How did the ghosts die in Ghosts?” Each ghost comes with a unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their experiences throughout history, they form a sort of family. After all, being stuck with the same people for all eternity allows plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit an upstate New York mansion.
