The show’s writers have been eager to trap a spirit in a well, backed up by the growing list of “Ghosts” rules.
“The ghosts of ‘Ghosts’ can stand on floors, but they go right through walls. So they can’t get any traction to climb out of the well,” says Port. “So the only way out is walking through the wall and all the dirt. And that’s perilous because you could get lost.”
Adds Carrasco: “It makes no sense, and yet it makes perfect sense. I love that this episode added to the world of ‘Ghosts’ rules.”
Revolutionary War ghost Captain Isaac Higgintoot (Brandon Scott Jones) and Native American Sasappis (Román Zaragoza) recall being stuck in a hole with Thorfinn for a year before escaping. A Puritan-era ghost, Patience, even disappeared into the estate grounds, lost in eternal dirt.
