[9] Pantomime: The focus of the 2022 Christmas special, when the ghosts decide to put one on for Alison. Although the house has been occupied up until the early twenty-first century, the last owner was a long-lived recluse with no time for technology, so most of the ghosts have never seen television or the internet until Alison and Mike show up. His Name Is...: Played for laughs in “I Love Lucy” and “He Came!” as Pat and the Captain himself almost reveals his real name. However on both occasions they are interrupted before the reveal.They have lots of interesting etchings, portraits of the area, and even an old ship’s wheel as decoration.

At first, Julian dislikes Christmas but when Mike’s niece stays in his room for the holiday, he is forced to remember the fact that in life, he choose to spend Christmas away from his family and regrets it. In the end, he learns that family is more important than anything else and to enjoy the holiday.

Doom It Yourself: Mike's attempts at D.I.Y.—he puts a huge hole in Fanny's bedroom, "fixes" it by covering it up with a painting, and even with the help of video tutorials the ghosts from the Middle Ages have a better idea of how to fix the hot water boiler.

Fluffy the Terrible: A building version.
