Ghosts[]

- Odessa A'zion as Stephanie, a 1980s mean girl who died on the property after getting killed on her prom night. She spends months on end sleeping in the attic, hence the nickname "Attic Girl". Though born the same year as Trevor and therefore the same age, she died at an earlier age, so has the appearance of teenager, so he rejects her advances toward him.
- Matt Walsh as Elias Woodstone, Hetty's husband, who died from suffocation in a vault that no ghosts can enter or exit. He has the power to make people sexually aroused when he walks through them. After he rants about becoming a permanent nuisance and refusing to change himself, he becomes bound to Hell. He briefly returns in the second season, but, believing he cannot change his behavior, voluntarily recommits himself to Hell. As a reward, he is promoted some time before the fourth season to a demon who collects souls for the Devil, administers torture, and can physically reincarnate, appearing as his usual self in contemporary clothing.
- Crystle Lightning as Shiki, a Lenape woman on whom Sasappis had a crush in life. As a ghost, she is bound to the land occupied by the publishing office of the Ulster County Review magazine, so Sam and Jay help her establish a long-distance relationship with Sass though that fails.
- Christian Jadah as Bjorn, Thorfinn's son, who married a Danish woman and had three children, travelled to find his father, and now haunts the Farnsbys' property, having died at about the same age as Thor. Sam helps him reconnect with his father by having them shout to each other through the windows.
- Lindsey Broad as Judy Farnsby, Henry Farnsby's deceased mother, who now haunts their home.
- Nichole Sakura as Jessica (season 2), a permanently drunk ghost who died in a car crash while driving under the influence of alcohol and is now bound to a small perimeter around her former car, enabling her to travel more freely than other ghosts can. She has a brief relationship with Sass when Freddy, who bought Jessica's car, begins working as an assistant at the manor.
- Caroline Aaron as Carol Martino (guest Seasons 1–2, recurring Season 3–4), Pete's widow, who cheated on him with his best friend Jerry when he was alive. She becomes a new ghost on the Woodstone property in the third season after fatally choking on a doughnut hole. She becomes engaged to Baxter in the third-season finale.
- Mary Holland as Patience (season 4), a mentally unstable, stridently moralistic Puritan ghost who led a life of austerity; died of blood-letting; fell down a hole with Thor, Sass, and Isaac at some point in the 1890s; and remains stranded in the dirt until she finds a way back into the house in the present. As a result of her mental state, she often shouts her own name when feeling intense emotions. Her ghost power allows her to make walls bleed and write short messages with the blood.
- Brian Cook as David Woodstone, Sam's uncle and Trevor's former bro, who dumped Trevor's body into a lake before dying of an aneurysm in the depressing strip club that he now haunts with one other ghost who died from eating contaminated sushi.
- Deniz Akdeniz as Chris, an Australian male stripper and part-time DJ hired to perform a lap dance, unknowingly for Isaac, causing Isaac to become attracted to him. He becomes another ghost at Woodstone when his parachute fails during a stunt for Alicia's bachelorette party and he fatally crashes through the roof of Jay's restaurant, and Issac and Nigel end up competing for his affections. He can use his parachute to fly beyond the ghost boundaries of the property.
In addition to the main ghosts, the mansion houses a group of ghosts who died of cholera and occupy the basement. Their sickly appearance disturbs the upstairs ghosts. The total number is uncertain, but there are at least six, three of which have been named within the series (Stuart, Nancy, and Creepy Dirk), with the remaining three being listed in the credits. They are based on the Plague Ghosts of the original British series.
- Betsy Sodaro as Cholera Victim Nancy, a brash, obnoxious Albany native who spends most of her time berating her fellow victims and thinking of ways to permanently move upstairs.

- Stuart Fink as Cholera Victim Stuart
- Cody Crain as Cholera Victim Cody
- Nigel Downer as Cholera Victim Nigel
- Cat Lemieux as Cholera Victim Catherine

There are also British Ghosts who died in the Revolutionary War and live in the shed on the property as that has been the agreement since the war ended, and as an result know Isaac. They keep most to themselves and only come up to the main house to redraw the borderlines every few years. The main house ghosts say it's only for Nigel to flirt with Isaac.
- John Hartman as Nigel Chessum, the leader of the trio, whom Isaac accidentally shot. They have had secret romantic feelings for one another since they were alive, and they begin a relationship at the end of the first season.

Trivia[]
- Although based on the original BBC version of the series and similar in plot and story arcs, the characters have been Americanized to reflect the story of the house: in the British version, Isaac is a Second World War captain (also a closeted gay man, who remains unnamed; the Captain in the British series is far more serious and a bit more tragic, much of the comedy coming from his strict military ways and his obsession for rank, while Isaac is more flamboyant and sarcastic); Trevor (the pantless ghost) is a disgraced MP instead of a Wall Street broker (confirmed in the BBC series to have died while having sex, while Trevor's death is from an accidental drug overdose); and Thor the Viking is a caveman. Two original characters, Flower the Hippie and Alberta the jazz singer, replace Kitty, a naïve Georgian woman (who, as Flower, is always absent-minded, though Flower's is more an effect of drugs) and Thomas, a failed romantic poet who, like Alberta, constantly exaggerates his own importance and significance, though Alberta's talent is genuine but the British character's is not). Some of the characters' traits were given to others: Trevor's crush on Sam was originally from the romantic poet, while Sassapis' wit and sarcasm were originally the Caveman's. Hetty, the lady of the house, and Pete, the friendly scout leader, remain relatively the same. Crash, the decapitated ghost (a Tudor nobleman in the BBC version), shares the original's recurring joke of constantly losing his head.
