Many of the spirits in CBS' Ghosts have powers, making the Woodstone Mansion an eccentric place for Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) to live. Ghosts UK, a British series with the same premise, inspired the American series. In both shows, Sam and Allison (Charlotte Ritchie) inherit a country mansion full of ghosts from a distant relative. Ghosts UK inspires characters in Ghosts U.S., with many of the original spirits reveal their ghost powers in the pilot episode.

When Sam and Jay come to check out their new home, they fall in love with it, and the ghosts initially think the new couple isn't all that bad. However, when the ghosts hear that Sam and Jay want to open Woodstone B&b, they plan to haunt the couple out of the mansion for good. The spirits pull out all the stops, revealing some of the most impressive ghost powers.
