Notable ghosts offer advice for the living in this quirky animated series

Ghosts generally get a bad rap in popular culture. Sure, there are a few nice ones, like Casper, but they’re the exceptions to the rule. Like house guests who have long overstayed their welcome, most ghosts linger in this earthly realm, often hanging around the places where they spent most of their time when they were alive. Maybe they have unfinished business here; maybe they’re just being dicks. Who knows? Either way, they cause a great deal of trouble for the living, as depicted in films ranging from Poltergeist to Ghostbusters.
But it doesn’t have to be that way: Maybe ghosts have something to offer humanity beyond a few cheap scares. Super Deluxe has recently launched a news series of animated shorts called Advice From Ghosts in which the spirits of some notable folks from history come back to this world, not to chase teenagers away from an abandoned amusement park but to offer some hard-won wisdom to humanity.
