Furthermore, the longer Ghosts leaves Hetty’s powers unexplained, the more intriguing they become. So far, the powers of the show’s ghosts have been mixed blessings, to say the least. Pete’s ability to move beyond the bounds of the Woodstone B&B is pretty useful, whereas the foul odor Isaac creates is less impressive. Trevor and Flower’s powers are strong, while Alberta’s ability to be heard by humans comes in handy less frequently than might reasonably be expected.
Ghosts season 4 premieres on October 17, 2024, on CBS.
Not only could Hetty’s backstory revive Ghosts’ use of real-life historical characters, but her powers could be the strongest seen in the series so far. Already, Patience’s “Intense” power sounds like it will up the ante in terms of what viewers can expect from the show’s specters. This means that, if Hetty does have to wait until after season 4 to find out her powers, they will likely be even more impressive. This trend proves that Ghosts season 4 making viewers wait to find out Hetty’s story could be a surprisingly good idea.
