|   Summary | |||
|   |
In Friendship, Maine the haunted Whipstaff manor is inherited by the self-centered Carrigan (CATHY MORIARTY) who is accompanied by her aide, Dibs (ERIC IDLE). She hires a "ghost shrink," Dr. James Harvey (BILL PULLMAN) to get rid of the ghosts. Harvey works with the "living impaired" ever since his wife, Amelia, died. He drags along his daughter, Kat (CHRISTINA RICCI), from place to place to help ghosts, but his real intent is to contact his dead wife. Arriving in Friendship, they find the manor inhabited by a young ghost, Casper and his three uncles, Stretch, Fatso, and Stinky. Casper wants to have a friend (and the finds one in Kat), but his uncles want no one in their home. Soon they all adapt to each other but then must put up with Carrigan and Dibs who believe there to be buried treasure in the manor. | ||
