Every season, Ghosts brings us a Halloween-themed episode. This year, the episode falls on Halloween, making it extra spook-tacular.

With Patience around, there are more connections to the past and the way people used to think. She’s a Puritan, and that plays a part in Ghosts season 4, episode 3. It’s time for witches to come up, and Patience won’t get the idea that it’s all fun and games.

Of course, Sam and Jay want to get into the Halloween spirit. So do the rest of the ghosts, but this year is going to be a low-key one. They need to avoid seances and going into rooms with iron doors. Let’s not have any more ghosts show up!

We have enough with Patience, who isn’t used to the Halloween traditions just yet. The introduction of Patience has certainly helped to breathe a bit of extra life in the series. We’ve got this character who is new to everything, which helps to bring things up from the earlier seasons where the various ghosts were still learning about the ways of the world.

However, some of the past is also going to show up. Patience views Sam as a witch in the new episode, and she wants a witch trial. This is a woman who thought that a child talking to a doll was witchcraft, so it’s not surprising that she thinks someone who celebrates All Hallows’ Eve is a witch!

The rest of the ghosts will join in for a bit of fun. They’re likely to get more than fun as they realize just how serious Patience is.
