I feel like google is letting these AI overviews be like this for yhe miniscule chance that people get attached to it & thus begin to blorboify it,

It seems only 1 (one) of my friends has bothered to put a pride flag in their pfp for pride month, c'mon guys……

Okay but how do the ghost property lines work in Ghosts?

Is it based on land ownership when they died, or do they live in fear of Alison turning Button House into a block of flats? Does Robin piss off for weeks at a time because the concept of land ownership didn't exist when he was alive? Can Humphrey visit half the county because he must have owned a lot of land when he was alive, but just doesn't fancy it?

Are the ghosts considered relatively lucky because they've got a massive stately home and grounds to live in?

If you die on a road can you go anywhere because all roads are like connected and owned by the government or are you stuck on the length of that named street? What if the road's not public, does it count as part of the property it's on? What if it's like the M1? What if they build a new road over the spot you died?

If you die in hospital does that mean that you can go into any public building or are hospitals just really full of ghosts? If that's the case, why did Alison not see more ghosts when she was in hospital? Is it because you're less likely to be a ghost if you die non-traumatically of a disease?

If the same landlord owns all the houses in the street, can the ghosts just flit between them or are they confined by individual properties?

Is the best place to die like a national park because then you've got the most room, but if you see someone building a development you need to run?

And what's going on with those pilots; surely the entire sky counts as one property? Thematically shouldn't they be haunting the scrapped metal of their plane like ghosts do in real life? Are they confined to the property of the plane at their time of death, because if that's true Robin becomes really op again and can just go anywhere?

[unhappytogekiss]

Okay so I've thought about this a bit more and come prepared with diagrams

Here's west horsley place (where they filmed ghosts) in real life. I've crossed out what is apparently an opera house in the north and decided that that's all woods in the ghost universe. The red dots are approximate death locations of the ghosts (we don't know where robin died). The blue lines are my headcanon for where the property boundaries lie. It's about 350m from the house to the gate house.

1. The radius theory

Here's a zoomed out picture based on julian's radius being about 350m. If we take that for the other ghosts we can see that thomas has access to way more westerly fields than anyone else. (red is house ghosts, yellow is mary, beige is pat (for his shirt and shoes and socks))

I like the radius theory too but it's self evidently not true when you consider the badger trap ghost

2. Property title theory

This one has the most evidence for it imo. With the modern land registery it's much easier to define what counts as part of an estate than in previous times. However a national land registery's only been around since 1867, so what about the older ghosts?

For Humphrey I think he originally had access to all of the button house estate, even though he was renting parts of the estate out to his tenants. This would mean that the common land didn't pose problems for ghost boundaries and that he probably had a larger area to roam orginally. The reason why I think this is that the plague ghosts are all together in the basement, even though they probably died in seperate houses. (though the plague ghosts are an outlier anyway because they seem to be connected to their bones?)

Robin is a different matter. As far as I can tell, formal land ownership was brought to britain by the romans, and the Ghost's wiki says he was born in approx 10000BC (but then he also says he's 10000 years old which would be more in keeping with mesolithic occupation of Great Britain). He would have been at least semi nomadic and it's impossible to know what mesolithic britains considered land ownership. As Britain was at this point connected to europe, on the extreme "no land ownership" end of the scale, he might have been able to roam through most of eurasia. Based on pure speculation I would assume that there's either a natural barrier to prehistoric ghosts eg geology or biome related or that his tribe had a communal area that they considered theirs. Either way he has been increasingly confined by subdivision for 10,000 years

3. Those bastard Nazi ghosts

These guys (who according to the wiki are called helmut and wolfgang) are the main arguement against the property title theory. According to English law, your property includes the airspace above it and these guys weren't that high up as they were seen from a window. They should be wandering inside the flat alison viewed them from.

I have a few theories

a. Vehicles count as seperate property. Easily debunked as Pat died in a bus

b. The plane somehow counted as Nazi Germany, like with embassies. That may have been the case in the 1940s, but the owners of the property have changed since then.

c. Some deaths are tied to items rather than places. This would also explain the plague ghosts and why they like to be so close to their skeletons. However you would expect the Nazi ghosts to be haunted the scrap from the plane rather than just the air.

d. The universe or the ghost authority or the general psychic vibes of the British people decided to curse them because they were Nazis.

4. Road ghosts

Having thought about it, I woud assume that every named road counts as a seperate road, as they're probably all seperated like that on a database somewhere.

This means the best road to die on is the A1

5. Where should you die?

If you want the biggest area, you might think that a national park is the way to go. However in the uk most national park land is owned privately so if we're going with the property titles theory, don't bother.

The answer is probably a bigger stately home. A rough google search has uncovered places like Wentworth Woodhouse or Elveden Hall as good candidates for sheer amounts of space and of course there'd be more ghosts to talk to if Button House if representative.

If you want to increase your odds of being seen by a psychic visitor, you should die at the Tower of London, one of the uks most visited castles.

6. Conclusion

I think my preferred theory is that ghosts are confined by what the majority of people think the boundaries of the property are, rather than what's written on a bit of paper somewhere. That would make more sense for older ghosts as it would be a bit shit if they had continents to roam across and that got destroyed. It is still very funny for whatever causes ghosts to be sitting in an office pouring over titles and deeds.

Also Robin has a right to be salty

I thought some more about the Monuments Men movie concept.

Like damn it I think a bunch of shitty historians fighting fascism would be really cool and I think a serious movie concept where rebel characters who don’t come from privileged or important places get to have interests and hobbies and passions would be so neat.

But also six idiots brainrot Simon Farnaby pilot man.

what if on Taskmaster one of the contestants died in the middle of filming a task but after doing enough of the task for it to be deemed complete so since there was nothing in the rules to say you had to be alive throughout they allowed it. & then all the other contestants bombed so badly that the dead person won the task and in the studio Greg was there like 'wow you all managed to do worse than Christine and she was dead for most of it'

[penny-anna]

they don't sub in a replacement contestant for the studio shows so one of the chairs is just empty and sometimes when contestants are arguing their case on something they're like 'I think if Christine was still with us she'd take my side' and Greg would be like 'for fuck's sake stop bringing up Christine'

[penny-anna]

also everyone (Greg included) would dunk on Alex for 'killing Christine' with the task and Alex would keep nervously laughing it off and be like 'legally speaking we weren't responsible for what happened to Christine'

[penny-anna]

the interstitials for the season occasionally feature randomly inserted shots of Christine's lifeless body lying on the ground

[penny-anna]

obviously it would already have been announced that Christine died filming Taskmaster but during the show they wouldn't say which task it happened in so every time there's a Christine segment it'd be like is this the one where she died 🤔 let's watch and find out

[vriskanon]

It would also provide a nice baseline for 'how many contestants did better than doing Nothing'. Tasks where you can do worse than a corpse are rarer in newer seasons of Taskmaster, but I think there's still a few there.
