BBC’s Ghosts: The 5 Most Heartbreaking Deaths and 5 That Will Make You Laugh

Ghosts produced and created by the BBC in the UK, is getting an adaptation for American audiences on CBS. Originally formulated by the cast and crew of Horrible Histories, the show tracks a young couple who move into a large haunted house. After a hit to the head, Alison can actually communicate with the ghosts.

These ghosts aren’t like the typical ones found in a horror film though. They are actually all very friendly and completely wacky. Each of them of course carries with them a story of how their death happened. While some of them are incredibly funny, others are actually extremely heart breaking.

Kitty is quite a naïve character. She’s always looking for the best in people, which is incredibly sweet. But she can also be taken advantage of. Her death hasn’t actually been explored in great detail as of yet and is likely being saved for season 3 of the show.

But, there’s been a number of hints pointing to the fact that this could be quite a sad one. Kitty has noted on a number of occasions that her sister was known for playing tricks on her. It may well be that it was her sister that killed her, although Kitty hasn’t really come to terms with that.

Julian Fawcett is a typical British politician. Usually making sure the title of MP goes after his name, Julian was part of the Conservative party in the UK and clearly a fan of Thatcher. His death is quite an alarming one.

Unfortunately, for Fawcett he was quite literally caught with his trousers down. The ghosts have to constantly wear what they had one when they died. Fawcett is missing a pair of pants, suggesting he was in the middle of something when he died.

While there’s a lot of horrible stories when it comes to how ghosts are created in other horror series, for Ghosts some of these stories really do bring a tear to the eye. The poet Thomas Thorne is a perfect example of this. He has always lived a life of love.

In his dying days he was trying to win the hand of a beautiful young woman. He even got into a duel for her honor, which ultimately lead to his death. He was told that she never loved him, but it was all a ploy from his cousin, who to add insult to injury went on to marry her!
