Annie's Ghosts: A Journey Into a Family Secret

Product Information

Button House is the most harmless-sounding name possible, but it's haunted, falling apart enough to be hazardous ''and there's a limpet mine buried in the grounds and a medieval plague pit in the basement.

After meeting his grandson, who has been named in his honour, and making peace with that part of his past, Pat appears to begin moving on to the afterlife, only to learn the light shining on him is a lamp used by the builders. During a visit by a representative of the French-owned resort company that wishes to purchase the Coopers' land to sign off on the requisite paperwork, Mike tries to persuade her of his idea of opening up Button House as a unofficial members' bar, against Alison's advice.Once his head is reunited with his body near the end of “I Love Lucy”, he punches himself so hard that his head falls off.

Now doubting Lucy, Alison enlists the Captain's help to detect anything suspicious when Lucy stays over for a night.After the Coopers spend Christmas Day trapped in a traffic jam, Alison and the plague ghosts watch the ghosts' pantomime of Cinderella (whilst Mike, who cannot see them, plays on his tablet). We see the same scene again after Robin mentions seeing a spider with an orange stripe on its back, where it's shown that Kitty hadn't pricked her finger so much as been bitten by the deadly spider which had been brought to England with the pineapple. At the end of “Home” Fanny makes a long speech about what home is which inspires Thomas’ poem for the paper. Pat’s Christmas present in “It’s Behind You” is old VHS footage of him and his family celebrating Christmas in 1983 (his last one alive) and 1988, four years after his death. Alison is advised by her solicitor to obtain evidence of Lucy's familial relations for the sake of her inheritance.

Most people believe the guards beheaded Humphrey on the spot, but he was actually beheaded by two decorative swords that came loose from the wall over a fireplace where he was hiding and swung down onto his neck. When trying to solve the mystery of Kitty’s death, the ghosts makes Eleanor a suspect because she wanted the inheritance as she is seen protesting that she should have all of it in “Something to Share? As we learn in season 2, while it wasn't directly murder, his death was planned and ensured by his cousin, Francis Button, so he could marry Thomas' beloved and inherit the house.After Alison and the ghosts experience Mary's nightmare, Mike is relieved that he cannot communicate with the latter.
