Pete is a loveable and gentle storyteller who just wants everyone to get along. To help reduce the boredom of eternity, Pete is a self-appointed activities director and sets up clubs and lectures for the ghosts.

Pete is a very friendly, outgoing, and compassionate man. It’s rare to catch Pete without a smile on his face alluding to his can-do attitude. And even when things do not go as planned, he is resilient and always tries to look on the upside of any situation. For example, he constantly points out the way he died as being unpleasant, but he still doesn’t allow it to damper his spirits.

Sometimes his kindness gets misconstrued for being a pushover or a people pleaser, as Pete often compromises to the point of his own exclusion. Although the ghosts do take him for granted, he reasons that he is modeling for them because he believes they have good in them, even if they haven’t changed their ways in almost 40 years.

In “Ghost Hunter” Pete is accused of being a coward when he refuses to check out Freddie’s ghost trap after Isaac delegates him to do so, and after one of Jay’s dice lands on his number (Trevor had decided to push a dice over and assigned each ghost a number, six being assigned to Pete). Once both Thor and Flower get trapped in the device, the other ghosts blame Pete for his inactions, to which he at first agrees. Feeling guilty about his inability to act before, he bravely volunteers to go into the trap as the threat of evisceration creeps ever so near. Once inside, he finds Thor and Flower kissing and acts quickly to help them escape. In doing so, Pete discovers his inner courage and feels he may be capable of anything.

Pete is a sports fan, his favorite being basketball. During the course of the season thus far, he has also made references to following baseball and tennis. He has begun a routine of watching basketball games and talking basketball strategy and history with Jay, being particularly knowledgeable about 1980s basketball. In “Ghostwriter” Pete becomes jealous when Jay invites the contractor Mark to watch the Syracuse ball game with him while Pete was watching as well. He believes that since Jay has found a living human to watch the games with, he will no longer want to watch with Pete since he is not able to see Pete. However, Flower, who played basketball as a kid and young woman and who is very knowledgeable about the game, offers to watch the game with him instead. He refuses stating that it is something he only wishes to do with Jay. He is dismissive of Flower each time she offers which frustrates her. She confronts him later in the episode, telling him that he was disrespectful to assume that Flower may not have been good company with which to watch the game. She then proceeds to school him about the history of basketball in addition to players from the 1940s and 50s of whom Pete was unfamiliar. Pete learns to be more mindful of the words he says and how he treats his friends when he is frustrated or upset.

Pete is also a very loyal and patient man. He was married for 16 years before being “felled by a little girl’s arrow.” He is the kind of man to stand up for his friends and to make sacrifices for the happiness of others. We can assume that Pete was the model scout leader, taking the oath of the Pinecone Scout very seriously and carrying around his trooper handbook wherever he went. He highlighted such traits as friendship and forgiveness and strives to live his afterlife accordingly. However, his ability to forgive was tested in “Pete’s Wife” when he learns that his wife was unfaithful with his best friend while he was still alive. He becomes understandably angry and hurt and is unable to believe anything that his wife says during the small memorial that she and his former best friend, now her current husband, have for them on the property grounds. The ghosts, Jay, and Sam also attend. To help Pete deal with his anger, Sam reads a passage from his old trooper handbook, emphasizing how important it is to forgive. By the end of the episode, although still angry and hurt, Pete is able to forgive his wife Carol which helps him move on. He also sees his daughter Laura for the first time in 37 years and “meets” his grandson, Pete.

In “Attic Girl” Pete tries to convince Stephanie, the teenage ghost, to invite Sam to the prom by telling her about Sam’s own experience with her prom. He believes that in confiding this information to Stephanie, he will change her mind and decide to invite Sam to prom. However, Stephanie uses this information to further humiliate Sam by having Alberta order baguettes to be delivered to the house, further hurting Sam. Pete is disappointed that Stephanie was mean to Sam as he had told her that story in hopes of making Sam feel better.

Pete is quite nervous in asking Alberta to the ghost prom in “Attic Girl,” suggesting he still has feelings for her. They end up going together and share their first dance.

Pete has grown quite fond of Jay after discovering their shared love of basketball and Dungeons & Dragons, and considers him to be a close friend. He does not like Mark very much.

Pete is a self-described adventurer who loves nature and the outdoors. Despite his cause of death, Pete had extensive knowledge about camping and other outdoor related skills, such as archery. Pete also was well versed and trained in first aid and could act quickly and accurately in emergency situations. Ironically, he is a rather cautious individual who prefers to refer to a handbook or a manual before attempting anything new. His love of adventure is what attracted him to Dungeons & Dragons in life and helps explain to Sam, who doesn’t understand why Jay is as attached to the game as he is, how players can develop a deep attachment to their character. He plays D&D with Jay with the translation assistance of Sam and we can assume that because Alberta and Sasappis are playing too, that Pete may have taught them as well.

While Pete still harbors strong feelings for Alberta, he is still hesitant to tell her how he feels. Furthermore, he attempts to cover up any indication of those feelings around the other ghosts and the livings. It is clear that he may fear that his feelings may be unrequited as Alberta has yet to admit that she might have romantic feelings for him.

It could be said of Pete that he enjoys a good joke, moreover a good “dad joke” and often laughs at anything that uses a clever pun or a play on words.

In “Dinner Party” he remarks that he has had Improv training, and in “A Date to Remember” he put on a one-ghost improv show for Thorfinn and Flower’s date.

As the series progresses, Pete’s personality is becoming a bit more complex. In “Sam’s Mom”, Pete lies about having a girlfriend in an effort to thrawt attention from his real crush on Alberta. He then proceeds to adopt a fake girlfriend in Nancy to prove his lie to be true, even deceiving Alberta that Pete and Nancy are in fact in real couple. In “Jay’s Friends”, his roommate, Sasappis, asks him to tone the everpresent cheeriness down and Pete does more than comply. He does a complete 180 and presents a more dreary, constantly brooding persona. While it is not clear that Pete does this to oblige with Sasappis request due to his tendency to be loyal, or to teach him a lesson about attitude, or if this is just a part of Pete he has yet to put on display, it is clear that there is much more to him than what meets the eye.

In the second season, we have discovered that Pete was quite the musician in life. He sang Baritone in a Barbershop quartet, and he played the oboe.

Pete takes a very cautious approach to things. He’s not a fan of rocking the boat or causing any disruptions to avoid something terrible happening. In “The Liquor License” Pete is the only one who disapproves of Sam choosing to host a Whiskey tasting since they have yet to accrue their liquor license. He warns of certain harm to their business and possible legal troubles if she should choose to continue with her plans. In “Ghost Hunter” when chosen to test out the ghost trap, he refuses, even when his number comes up on the dice that Trevor rolled to keep things fair. He feels a tremendous amount of guilt after two of his friends become trapped in the device and Sam’s actions lead to possible evisceration. At the end of both those episodes, Pete learns that sometimes it is okay to take risks and that one can never experience anything if one never does anything. He faces his fears which helped him discover the courage he never knew he had.

Pete cares deeply for his family, especially his daughter and grandchild, and is willing to do anything for them. In “Weekend from Hell” Pete is easily tricked into selling his soul to Elias in what he believed has saved his grandson. However, his grandson was never in danger.

In life, Pete was a pretty handy guy. It is revealed in “Ghost Father of the Bride” that he built the deck at his house. However, as much as it is against his character to be organized and “have all his ducks in a row” Pete showed some procrastination when going to get the deck permitted. He neglected to do so which, 40 years later, put a dent in his daughter’s plans to get married there.

We also see a smaller manipulative side to Pete. While he is not normally a selfish man, he is desperate to see his daughter get married. As someone who loves his daughter very much, and willing to do anything to see her get married, he admits that when he built the deck at his house, he did not get the proper permits to do so, and suggests that he can use that information against Carol to convince her to move the wedding to the Woodstone.

Pete also struggles with handling conflict and does not like for folks to be mad at him.

Being a man with a high moral compass comes with its challenges for Pete. While he does not like to do anything that may result in conflict with another, he also seeks to do what is right and honest at all times. In “Man of Your Dreams” he learns of the power of his roommate, Sasappis, who is able to enter the dreams of those around them and then influence them. He repeatedly tells Sass that what he is doing is wrong and proceeds to tell those around him, who then do not share in his disappointment. This frustrates Pete, especially when they use that information to have Sass forward their own desires into Jay’s subconscious. However, when Sasappis learns from Jay of the hurt he’s caused a man who only hoped to get to know the Ghosts like his wife can, he agrees to make it right and apologize much to the support and relief of Pete.

While Pete has verbally stated that he has forgiven his widow for having an affair with his best friend, it is clear from his behavior that he still harbors a grudge about it and it may imply that even though on the surface Pete is a happy go luck kind of fellow, he might not be so easy to forgive and forget. His anger and frustration is put to the ultimate test in “Halloween 3: The Guest Who Wouldn’t Leave” when his widow dies after showing up to the Woodstone Mansion uninvited and chokes to death on a donut hole. He is furious that he has to now share a space with the woman who broke his heart and wonders what he must’ve did in life to allot such a punishment.

Born in either 1944, or 1945, Peter Martino, a child of divorce, was a devoted husband and father, licensed travel agent and scout leader of a girl’s troop. He enjoyed adventures and spending time with his family and friends. At the time of his untimely demise, had been married to his wife, Carol, for 16 years, and had one child, a daughter named Laura. He was deeply knowledgeable about the outdoors and loved nature and camping. He possessed various skills such as archery and knot tying and knew a lot about movies and tv shows, especially those that were popular during the 80s. He loved sports and followed at least three of them- basketball, baseball, and tennis. He also was a bit of a nerd who enjoyed Star Trek and playing Dungeons and Dragons.

Pete also enjoyed bowling because “you never break a sweat, you do it with friends and you get to high-five all of your opponents all the time!” He also sustained a neck injury while bowling stating that he slipped, fell and hit his throat on a bowling ball.

Pete’s nickname in high school was “Injured Throat” Pete and stated that while the nickname might have been given to him as a form of bullying, he actually enjoyed the nickname stating he was “all in.”

Pete had a pretty severe shellfish allergy in life and had to constantly carry an epi pen with him in case of accidental exposure or consumption.

On that fateful afternoon in 1985, Pete had planned to teach his troop all about archery. He was about to review important safety rules pertaining to using a bow and arrow when one of the troop members shot him directly in the neck. Since his death, his ghost has been trapped on the grounds of the Woodstone Mansion and thus has been unable to see or watch over his family and has no idea what have been up to for the past 37 years. He is one of the two ghosts, so far, whose family is still alive. While Pete was very knowledgeable about overall outdoor safety and first aid, he recalls that he put himself in the line of danger that fateful day because his mind was still flustered by a fight he had had with his wife, Carol, earlier that day regarding her eating the rest of his donut holes.

Pete has been a long time basketball fan and commented that three years before his death, there was a man named Michael Jordan who played for the University of North Carolina and won the NCAA championship. However, he was adamant that Jordan probably did not go on to do much else, stating that he probably ended up in finance.

Pete was on his junior high basketball team and was pretty good until he sustained a neck injury in the first game when he was hit with the ball directly at his throat. He also was hit in the neck with a basketball during a Harlem Globetrotters game.

After Sass blurts out that Pete has a crush on Alberta in front of the other ghosts in “Sam’s Mom” and seeing that Alberta may not feel the same way, Pete panics and claims that he has a girlfriend who lives in the basement with the other Cholera ghosts. After the ghosts say that they want to meet her, he goes downstairs to ask for a volunteer to be his fake girlfriend; only one ghost agrees, Nancy. Nancy is a loud-mouthed, very charismatic and opinionated ghost who immediately takes to the role of Pete’s fake girlfriend. She is so enamored with the idea of being out of the basement that she decides to stay upstairs for a while, putting Pete in a bind as he has to now spend more time with her, something he was not planning on doing. In “Jay’s Sister” Nancy gets upset with Pete for willingly giving up “their” room for Bela when she comes to visit. She calls Pete a push over, pointing out his constant willingness to bend over backwards to please the other ghosts while no one ever returns the favor. He never gets to pick the movie on Movie Night and is always the caboose in the massage train.

In their final confrontation, Pete explains that he gives in so readily so as to be a model for the rest of the ghosts on how to be a team player and to be less selfish. He then tells her off and impressed with his new-found courage, Nancy breaks off the fake relationship and goes back to the basement. The confident Pete then tells the rest of the ghosts that he is taking the moldy room and he doesn’t want to hear no one say anything about it.

It quickly becomes apparent that behind their polites “Midwesterners” (as said by Pete who spent 18 years in the travel agency) façades, they are critical of everything they encounter.

In the season two premiere, “Spies” Pete warns Sam and Jay to be careful with their first guests Debby and Tom. From he’s 18 years of experience in the travel agency and according to he’s feelings, he thinks that behind their polite “Midwesterners” façades the guests might pretend everything is fine and then criticize them and give them a bad review after. It won’t be long before we realize that Pete‘s first impression was true.

In “Alberta’s Podcast,” Pete along with Sasappis, Trevor, and Sam are listening to a true crime podcast about the mysterious disappearance of a woman named Hailey. After Alberta and Issac enter the room, and Sam explains to Issac what a podcast is, Pete suggests that Sam start a podcast in an effort to solve Alberta’s murder. When Alberta reacts positively to Pete’s suggestion, he responds that he is always thinking of her. Embarrassed, he immediately follows up with the fact that he has other interests as well, indicating that Pete’s feelings for Alberta are still present and may in fact be growing stronger. Pete is accompanies Sam when she goes to check on Alberta and is encouraging and supportive when Alberta displays her more vulnerable side for the very first time.

Following the opening of the B&B, Pete and Sasappis have continued to room together. Each morning, Pete provides Sasappis with a cheerful wake-up call, and in “Jay’s Friends” it’s no different. He wishes him a happy 3 month anniversary, remarking that this is another beuatiful morning in eternity. Sasappis is visibly annoyed by this and encourages Pete to put his overwhelming positivity to the side. Pete is disappointed by his request, but sees this as an exciting challenge.

Later, when Sasappis checks in with Pete, he finds him brooding by a window. Pete greets him ominously and remarks that he has adopted a sullen outlook on life as requested. When Sasappis responds that he doesn’t know what to say, Pete suggests that he must miss classic Pete and wants him to come back. However, Sasappis pleased to see this new side of Pete and thanks him for adhering to his reequest, frustrating Pete that his initial plan did not work.

Pete’s negative energy is felt throughout the house. Faced with a possibly legal battle ahead of them, Sam begs Pete for some of his positivity and can-do attitude. He refuses to help, stating that he has changed, that he is “dark” now. Looking brielfy at Sasappis, he goes on to explain that life is meaningless and full of suffering. When Sam decides that she will try to reason with the cult members so as to avoid a legal fight, Pete scoffs at the idea, sarcastically agreeing that cult members are definitely known for their ability to reason.

Pete’s sour outlook comes to a head when Sasappis finds Pete yet again staring out of another window. Pete remarks that he is looking at a “stupid sunset” and that he is definately not enjoying what so ever. Sasappis admits that he was wrong to ask Pete to change his personality. He states that all the talk about eternity as of late got him thinking that perhaps being around for 500 years has gotten to him. When he asks how Pete always stays so positive all the time, Pete acknwoleges that he hasn’t been in limbo for as long as Sasappis, and that he tries very hard to stay positive. He highlights the sunset and that while it might be repetitive, there’s always one every once in a while that is amazing.

In life, Pete owned his own business, presumably the travel agency he worked for and thus has a deep understanding of the struggles that Jay and Sam are experiencing in the first year of their new bed and breakfast business.

Pete’s feelings for Alberta are still present and getting stronger by the day. After she advises him that it’s good to take risks every now and then because it makes life more exciting, Pete gets the courage to go in for a kiss. However, Alberta blocks him telling him that his ability to get over his anxiety is a proud moment for him and that she wants him to acknowledge that instead of seeing her rejection as a moment of defeat.

As a child, Pete was bullied often by his classmates and while his mother tried to comfort him, his father was emotionally distant and encouraged Pete to respond more aggressively to his bullies. This caused Pete distress since he did not feel comfortable doing that and grew frustrated that his father wouldn’t listen to him.

This, however, should not discourage him, for in “Alberta’s Podcast“, we learn that Pete and Alberta may actually have something important in common. He states that he too is a singer, and in life was in a barbershop quartet and recognizes Alberta’s comment about Clara’s inability to hit a high C as a “burn.”This admission of him being a singer makes this one of the more recognizable things that Alberta and Pete have in common.

Pete was married to his wife in either late Spring, Summer, or early Fall of 1971. Although the month is not specifically mentioned, he states that it was hot, in listing all the excuses his wife most likely gave for avoiding sleeping with him on their wedding night.

Pete is a member of the “Ant-Watching Club” started by Nigel and Thor. His interest in ants, anything else nature carries over into his afterlife from his love of the outdoors during his lifetime.

In “Issac’s Book,” Pete is recruited by Thor to help him learn to curb his anger and respond to things in a calmer manner.

In “Ghost Father of the Bride” Pete learns through his family’s newsletter emails that his daughter, Laura, is getting married. Bummed he is not able to be there, he asks Sam to reach out to his family to perhaps convince them to host the wedding at the Woodstone. When his widow initially refuses, Pete tells Sam that he has some information that she could use to get Carol to change her mind. Before building that deck, he neglected to get the proper permits. And as the structure is not permitted, such an offense is taken very seriously in Ulster County, he tells Sam to anonymously report it.

Pete is elated when the anonymous tip works, forcing Carol to relent to having Laura’s wedding at the mansion. His excitement is short-lived, however, when he finds out that his daughter was not able to come to make all the arrangements for the ceremony, sending her mother in her place. Everything that he suggests through Sam is immediately written off by Carol who forces her will on just about every aspect of the wedding. Pete is frustrated that Carol has not changed and states that because she could never compromise during their marriage, it made their marriage very, very difficult. The one argument that he has a hard time dealing with is that Carol says no to having lilies be in the floral arrangements. Pete states that including lilies is very important to him. And of course, Carol rejects that idea too.

Pete is frustrated and blames Sam for not trying hard enough to convince Carol to yield to at least one of his ideas. When she asks why lilies in particular are important to him, he tells the story of a time during Laura’s early childhood when she pretends to get married to her stuffed bear. He readies to walk her down the aisle but before he does, Laura reminds him about the flowers. He recollects those flowers as lilies before stating that she says that they are the most beautiful flowers in the world. When Sam states that that story would mean so much more coming from him, and after Jay suggests they put something in his book alluding to the fact that Pete loved lilies during his lifetime, Pete, uncharacteristically, but enthusiastically agrees to go for it.

Pete is overjoyed when Carol finally agrees to incorporate lilies into the floral arrangements while stating that it would be a nice way to honor her late husband’s memory. However, his joy is short-lived when Laura and little Pete join Carol, and when Carol asks her if she knew that her father loved lilies, Laura is confused, stating she doesn’t recall him ever mentioning lilies. Little Pete then notices that the writing in the book is newer because he has never seen it before and he knows the book by heart. Carol decides to pull the wedding from the Woodstone, with Laura agreeing, stating that it all just feels a little too weird for her. This distresses Pete greatly. He is even more distraught when Carol tells Sam that she is taking her off the family newsletter, as that was his only way to keep up with his family at all. As Sam is trying to apologize, inadvertently saying that she went a little kook-a-luka, a term she heard him say a few days prior, he watches as that stops Laura in her tracks. She then asks Sam how she knows that word. She then states that she’s only ever heard her dad use that word. And as Carol attempts to leave with little Pete, Laura states that she wants to have her wedding at the mansion afterall, as she’s felt her father’s presence both times she’s visited the Woodstone mansion. She wants her father to be with her as he was when he married her off to Mr Snuggles when she was a girl and remembers him giving her orchids, not lilies.

Pete looks on with pride as he watches Laura enter the room in her wedding dress. At Alberta’s encouragement, he joins his daughter in walking her down the aisle, all the while his arm interlocking with her causes him extreme pain. He is then able to watch his daughter get married as he wished for.

In “Whodunnit” we learn that Pete has an email address and while he doesn’t use it to contact anyone, he does receive a free joke everyday from the Reader’s Digest website. However, along with the joke of the day, he receives an email from a supposed Nigerian prince who is being held captive and what Pete perceives to be asking for his help. His hopes of being able to help are initially dashed when Trevor admits that he isn’t supposed to be using the computer after the goings on at Christmas time. But when Trevor returns telling him and Flower that the Prince has written back and that this time he is willing to pay even more for them to send the money to help him, he reluctantly agrees to help.

Pete is excited about the chance to help a famous prince out and by the possibility of it being a major news story. But after Trevor googles to see the story has already been out there, he informs Pete and Flower that they have fallen for a pretty famous scam and have lost Jay and Sam’s money.

After implying his disappointment that the Ghost who moved on was not a basement Ghost in Season 3’s premiere, “The Owl“, the basement Ghosts soon caught wind of this statement thanks to Nancy. After making him feel guilty for his statement, Pete offered them a chance to hang out freely throughout the rest of the house, much to the dismay of the other Ghosts. He explains his actions as a result of his inability to deal with conflict. When confronted by Hetty, Alberta, Isaac, and Nancy, the latter of whom threatens him if he doesn’t ask the basement Ghosts to return from whence they came, he agrees to talk to them. However, he struggles to make his point while confronting them and once he hears of how good Flower was to them and how much they will miss her, Alberta intervenes on his behalf, inviting them to join the rest of the ghosts and Sam for Flower’s memorial.

In life, Pete suffered from sleep apnea which caused him not to ever get a full-night’s rest. This condition has strangely followed him into the afterlife.

Either Pete, someone in his family, or someone in Carol‘s family was a military veteran since he and his wife had their reception at a local VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) hall.

Pete is vexed to find that his widow, whom he deeply detests, has died on the property and is now a ghost confined to the Woodstone Mansion property.

In “The Silent Partner”, Pete is still peeved that his philandering widow is now forced to spend eternity on the Woodstone Mansion property. However, he does not want to dwell on the past, believing that Carol doesn’t think that he knows about her and Jerry and wishes for her transition to the afterlife to be peaceful. He begins by explaining the can and cannots of being a ghost. After Nancy lets Carol know that Ghosts can have sex, much to Pete’s dismay, Carol is curious as to whether or not Pete is dating anyone, stating it would be weird if after 40 years he hadn’t moved on with someone else. Wanting to show that he’s moved on from her, he asks both Nancy and Alberta to be his fake girlfriend. When they initially refuse, he struggles to continue to keep up with the lie that he is in a relationship. Alberta and Nancy both feel sorry for him and both decide, without consulting one another, to be his fake girlfriend. This however puts Pete in a situation where he is perceived to be cheating on one with the other, and Carol decides to help Pete lie by giving him advice on how to successfully cheat. She tries to convince him that she knows how to do it based on all the soap operas she watched in life, but by the end of the episode, Pete has had enough and angrily confronts Carol, saying that he chose to stay single because he chose to remain loyal to the woman who during their marriage was running around with his best friend whom she eventually married after his demise. He confesses his frustration, anger, resentment and sadness toward her for lying throughout their marriage. In going off on her, he inadvertently impresses Alberta and may have persuaded her to look at him in a new light.

It is in this episode that Pete reveals that he can remove his arrow at will; its fiberglass consistency causes intense itching from time to time.

In “Hello, Brother,” Pete, after being tempted with butterscotch candy from Carol’s purse, decides to put past grievances aside and get back together with his wife. However, when Carol flirts with Thorfinn in front of Sasappis, Sasappis and Thorfinn come up with a plan to test her loyalty to Pete. In an effort to protect their friend, they tell him that Carol not only failed the loyalty test, but also had sex with Thorfinn. Instead of being thankful like they thought he’d be, Pete loses it and lashes out at both Thorfinn and Sass and after being called Thor’s “little buddy” he breaks it off with Carol for good and punches Thorfinn in the face, all while Alberta is witnessing everything. By the end of the episode Thorfinn apologizes to Pete, telling him that he is proud that he finally solved a problem using violence. Pete is pleased to it hear this and accepts his apology.

While talking to Issac and Nigel about their upcoming honeymoon, Pete, trying to ward off a bee crosses into the neighboring property, discovering that his Ghost power is that he can leave the Woodstone property. However, finding himself content, and a bit wary, he wishes not to leave at all. But at the insistence of Sam and the other Ghosts, he agrees to start small by running a small errand with Jay.

His time out with Jay starts off well, he is amazed at the size of Deal Mart and all the innovations that he discovers while there. He also meets two Ghosts who died at the store during Black Friday in 2005. But while talking to them, he loses track of Jay who leaves the store without him. Pete ends up stuck there after closing and finds that there are even more Ghosts who wish to fight him since that is what they do after dark. Fearing for his safety, he runs away. He ends up in the middle of down town where, while he vaguely remembers the buildings from his childhood, he is confused by the new names of the streets. He also is freaked out by a delivery robot who he believes is following him.

After he finally finds his way back to the Woodstone Mansion, he expresses his frustration to the other Ghosts who encouraged him to get out and explore his powers, believing he was right to be fearful. Later, he is lured down by Sam and Jay’s toasting marshmallows and once in the kitchen, the other Ghosts tell him how lucky he is to have such a power and that this is his chance to “live” and see the world, something he was afraid to do while alive. At the end of the episode, Pete is at the airport readying to board a flight to St. Lucia to visit his daughter and grandson who are on vacation there.

While in St. Lucia, Pete meets another Ghost, Donna, who reminds him of Loni Anderson. After it is implied that they sleep together, Pete suggests they perform another fantasy and while they lean in to kiss again, he discovers that his hand is gone. Freaking out, he contemplates returning to the mansion, believing it might make him whole again. However, Donna comforts him stating that, as ghosts, it is their ultimate goal to move on and that if it does end in paradise, it could be a good thing. As it turns out, Pete discovers that upon returning to the Woodstone Mansion, he becomes whole again.

Some information, mainly the ones that are relating to basketball, are from ‘March Madness w/Flower & Pete‘ and haven’t been shared in the series itself.

Pete is a tall, slender, handsome man with a clean shaven face. He wears his brown hair short with it parted and brushed to the right of his face. His dark brown eyes are framed by gold trimmed aviator glasses. He wears a scout leader uniform consisting of a tan button up shirt complete with several patches on the front of the shirt and on both sleeves, and khaki green shorts. His uniform is accented with a blue neck scarf with yellow trim and red knee high socks layered with khaki green crew socks. He finishes his look with tan hiking boots. He is cursed to carry the arrow that ended his life through his neck which only bothers him if someone hits or plucks it. Pete stands about 5’11. Pete on at least one occasion during his lifetime grew a mustache but his wife threw him out of the house until he shaved it off. Pete’s right arm is bigger than his left.

• Pete is based on the BBC version’s Pat. Out of all the adapted ghosts from the original series, Pete and Pat are the most alike, both being scout leaders from the 80s who’s wives both named Carol carried on an affair with their best friend. They both also recently find out they are grandfathers to a little boy and both only had one child. They both have similar personalities and both act as the “MC” of the various clubs and conversations the ghosts have. And both were shot in the neck with an arrow- Pete by a girl and Pat by a boy.
• In the Pilot, Pete’s uniform has a patch that says Nature Troopers, but in the rest of the episodes it says Pinecone Troopers.
• Richie Moriarty and Chris Sandiford (who played Kenny in ‘The Vault‘), both also appeared in What We Do In the Shadows. Richie played Doug Pederson, a member of the city council who is manipulated by Nandor to overturn the president of the council, and Chris played Derek, a vampire hunter turned vampire.
• Pete is the second most recently deceased ghost and along with Hetty is one of the only ghosts of whom we’ve met his immediate family.
• Pete is also the only known ghost who was a father in real life.
• Richie Moriarty also played a basement ghost in ‘Pilot‘ and ‘Hello‘ (screen capture 1, screen capture 2)
