#4: Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present & Future Despite his ghostly appearance, he has a lot of human traits, and is the only character on the show that has a shadow.

Perhaps surprisingly for a ghost, Hi-Fives is an unbelievably good trumpet player, and he has the power to levitate and the ability to turn into a shield. Originally from Wichita, Kansas, he also has a brother named Low Five Ghost. His best friend is Muscle Man, and he loves to prank his co-workers Mordecai and Rigby. High-Five Ghost, or Fives as his buddies know him, is a groundskeeper at The Park. A caricature of every pirate, he’s always in a bad mood and can’t even eat without his “dining sock.” Although he may look silly with his half-bitten pirate hat, the Dutchman is very powerful and can levitate and teleport in a cloud of smoke. With his thick accent and handbag marked “Souls,” The Flying Dutchman is not exactly the kinda creature you hope to cross in the ocean. This next ghost may be a recurring character on a cartoon show, but he is anything but funny. This Tim Burton fairytale quickly became a cult classic, while Zero became a beloved character, whether it’s Christmas or Halloween. Only instead of running around Jack, the undead canine floats above him. Like a real puppy, Zero is adorable and faithful to his master. An obvious play on Santa’s reindeer Rudolph, Jack’s faithful pumpkin-nosed ghost dog Zero follows him there. When Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, gets bored with his job, he finds himself in Christmas Town and decides to see what all the fuss is about. With his signature striped outfit, greasy hair and crooked teeth, Beetlejuice is a witty and grumpy ghost, who also likes money and “armpit music.” Talk about wacky!

Beetlejuice also has an annoyingly happy brother, Donny Juice, and two parents who are always on his case about getting a job. In this small screen show, the pair has nothing better to do but explore the mysteries of The Neitherworld (neetherworld), which is an afterlife realm filled with supernatural oddballs.

Inspired by the original live-action character as seen in the Tim Burton-directed “Beetlejuice” movie, this animated TV series centered around the friendship between Goth teen Lydia Deetz and her undead buddy, Beetlejuice. After being trapped in a clock for centuries, they’re unleashed by three adventurous teenagers and their dog Elmo, whom they befriend and subsequently help to solve mysteries! Combine that with a funky opening song, and you get some really jazzy ghost stories! The titular ghost is a Revolutionary War-era phantom who roams around with his cat Boo. Imagine something like the Flintstones, but in ghost form. Not all ghosts are bad in fact, Hanna-Barbera’s Saturday morning cartoon entitled “The Funky Phantom” was actually a delight. #9: Jonathan Wellington ‘Mudsy’ Muddlemore

Now dabbling in possession, Starscream’s lust for power was as evident as ever, even making a cameo in the Transformers follow-up “Beast Wars.” Octane, his former colleague, ends up back in Cybertron and finds refuge in a crypt, where he encounters the body-less, but still scheming, Starscream.

This fan favorite Decepticon from the Transformers universe is first seen returning in ghost form when Octane’s ship suffers a mysterious explosion. It’s especially true if said space robot was killed by his former leader’s massive particle cannon. Ghosts usually have unfinished business to take care of, and that’s true even when it’s the ghost of a space robot.
