Were these TV ghosts truly supernatural… or just humans?

They would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!

On Now
Can you spot the real ghosts?
Up Next:

Ghosts are pretty frequent guest stars on television shows, and not around Halloween. Gilligan's Island aired "Ghost a Go Go" on March 24, 1966.

Of course, these "ghosts" often turn out to be nothing more than regular people playing tricks. Scooby-Doo taught us that. However, sometimes they are unexplained supernatural phenomena in these television plots.

See if you can remember which ghosts were "real" and which were merely human.

  1. G-g-g-ghost! Is that a real ghost on Gilligan's Island's "Ghost-A-Go-Go"?
  2. Who is that in the mirror? A real ghost on Green Acres' "The Ballad of Molly Turgis"?
  3. This little girl from Wagon Train's "Little Girl Lost"… a she a ghost?
  4. The door is opening by itself on The Dick Van Dyke Show's "The Ghost of a Chantz"! Is it a ghost?
  5. Mark and Lucas are in a spooky ghost town in The Rifleman's "The Lost Treasure of Canyon Town". Is it a ghost?
  6. Little Joe sees this woman in Bonanza's "Twilight Town". Is she a ghost?
  7. Barney can't believe his eyes! A floating axe in The Andy Griffith Show's "The Haunted House"! Is it a ghost?
  8. That chair is rocking by itself in The Waltons episode "The Changeling"! Is it a ghost?
  9. Is this fellow in The Twilight Zone episode "The Passerby" a ghost?
  10. Hitchcock himself directed the delicious Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode "Banquo's Chair." This murder victim that appears — is she a ghost or an actress?

Were these TV ghosts truly supernatural… or just humans?

Come on MeTV, learn proper punctuation! Commas and periods always go before the “end quote.”

For a moment I forgot that the Bonanza episode was a real ghost because the picture looked so much like a normal everyday person. I had 8 out of 10, the other one I missed was the Rifleman question.
