I cannot recall - do we know why the shipmates left him behind?  

I bet Bjorn knows. He did come looking for him after all so he must have known his father was still alive. 

We don't know how Bjorn died either.

I had assumed it was because they thought he was dead or that they couldn't find him in time before they left, but I guess we don't know for sure

Oh, good point.  Somebody must have spilled the beans; otherwise why would Bjorn even be in the New World?

Enya! Which former resident played it since the songs came out after Pete passed away? 

Trevor?

Trevor wasn't a resident, and I highly doubt he and the other finance bros were playing Enya the weekend they were there.

I doubt the old lady who died in the pilot was, either.  So I don't know how Pete came across Enya's music, unless it wasn't back when she was popular, just some time after Sam came along and gave them access to the whole world of music, movies, TV, etc.

Given Stephanie loves U2, who are also Irish, and would've still been alive for a couple more years after Pete died, she may have listened to some Enya. Maybe she went around the house humming one of her songs on occasion during her brief visits downstairs as a ghost or something :p. 

Or maybe the ghosts have somehow heard Enya's music after Sam and Jay moved in, and Pete took to it as a result and found out more about her music history that way.

I'm sure we will find out soon.

Now that I think about it, I first heard of Enya from the Pure Moods CD commercial that played constantly back in the day. I think Pete and Hetty (and probably Flower) would love the vibe of that CD.

[Annber03]

That's where I first heard of her, too :D.

I love this theory. That makes a lot of sense. He's been around a thousand years nad seen a few ghosts come and go in that time, and who knows how long the periods were when he was alone, with no other ghosts around to befriend and get close to?

It'd be neat to see a time-lapse of Thor through the years, as different people and ghosts come and go through time.

We don't know about all the residents of the home after 1988 (I first heard it "Sail Away" on the radio then). It seems any one of them could have had a TV and radio. Or, since the late 40s, a TV.

I wonder how long the elderly woman from the first episode lived there? Was she born there or owned it later in life like how the lawyers found Sam? It didn't seem like she had a TV or radio since the ghosts seems so excited when Sam and Jay brought the electronics in. Maybe she had a husband or children who watched tv but they passed away before her. Who knows?

Which brings to mind - have they ever talked about ghosts who were there at one time but got sucked off?  

[Harvey]

Yeah IIRC they talked about 1 who had really great breasts back in season 2.

[possibilities]

I listen to old music all the time. I bet Sam does, too. She seesm like she might.

Same. Listening to some old music right now, as a matter of fact :D. 

[Snow Apple]

I agree. I love old music, but it seems Pete was the only one to overheard if that's the case. Wouldn't Hetty also already overhear snippets and love Enya if Sam plays it? Unless Sam used headphones and Pete asked what she's listening to.

Plot holes. I love discussing them. LOL

[possibilities]

This forum would die without plot holes!

I meant that Trevor was in the right era to have known about Enya.  Sorry for the confusion.

Plus, who knows what music finance bros listened at the time anyway?

I've noticed that Ghosts likes to use 90's pop. I wonder if that was Trevor's first time using drugs?  If he was a regular user he would have known that you shouldn't mix certain pills.

She was Sam's great aunt and the mother of one of Trevor's Wall Street buddies who helped throw his body in the pond.  She and her husband were away in Europe when the Wall Street pack go up to party and Trevor dies there. 

Her son died before she did and is a ghost at a strip club as we saw in the one episode when Sam looks him up.  Thus Sam becomes the heir by default as the closest relative left alive.

A lot of rich people would look down on TV as beneath them back in the day.  It was something for us commoners and they were above such things.  Maybe they were like that.  🤷‍♂️

My mom is 90, so in the same general age range as Sam's Great Aunt.  When I was growing up, my mom almost never watched television.  This continued until she moved into assisted living several years ago.  My dad had a few shows he watched, but the tv was not on all the time like we have now.  So it could be more of a generational thing than a money thing.  So I never really thought it was that weird that the Aunt didn't have a TV.

Enya while high is a classic move for many 20 something party animals...or so I've heard...
