Short description
Sam Wheat is a banker, Molly Jensen is an artist, and the two are madly in love. However, when Sam is murdered by his friend and corrupt business partner Carl Bruner over a shady business deal, he is left to roam the earth as a powerless spirit. When he learns of Carl's betrayal, Sam must seek the help of psychic Oda Mae Brown to set things right and protect Molly from Carl and his goons.
What's left behind the scenes
- At screenings in the Mexican city of Monterrey, female viewers were given special envelopes containing tissues upon entry.
- Another actress was originally planned for the role of Oda Mae Brown, but Patrick Swayze, a great admirer of Whoopi Goldberg's talent, managed to convince the producers that an African American actress was the best candidate to play her.
- Director Jerry Zucker always gives a cameo role to his mother in each of his films. Here, she played a bank employee.
- Bruce Willis turned down the lead role, believing the film would inevitably flop at the box office.
- Among the vast list of contenders for the lead role was Paul Hogan. However, the actor preferred to work on 'Almost an Angel' (1990).
- The terrifying screams of the 'demons' are actually children's screams played at a slower speed.
- Actress Molly Ringwald auditioned for the role of Molly.
- The musical 'Ghost,' based on the film, premiered in 2011.
- It happened that Bruce Joel Rubin saw an interview with Patrick Swayze, which made a huge impression on the screenwriter. When the actor was asked about his father, Patrick burst into tears. Bruce offered Swayze the lead role, but the director objected, and the question of casting the lead actor was only resolved after brilliant screen tests.
- Demi Moore was cast as Molly Jensen because she could easily cry when required by the script.
