Sasappis said of the film The Cutting Edge (1992) "The guy loses his peripheral vision and can't play hockey but he can still figure skate ? Doesn't make any sense". In hockey, you need your peripheral vision to keep your eye on the opposing team. In figure skating,you only have to keep track of one other person, your partner, who tends to be in the central part of your field of view.
The couch visibly moves when the ghosts sit on it.
Given that both Thorfinn and Bjorn died hundreds of years before any structures were built on the properties it's unbelievable they wouldn't have seen each other before.
The ghosts' currency of backrubs wouldn't work, in that other than being traded, their value lies in cashing them in and receiving an actual backrub (which Isaac confirms when he explains how Hetty doesn't use them because of her "general disdain for physical touch, which leads her to never cash them in").
But this is a group of people, it's the entire group who owes each other these backrubs, if Hetty (or anyone with a considerable balance) *did* want to cash one in, which individual would be required to provide the backrub? They trade them back and forth, there would be no way to keep track of which Owed Rubs have gone where.
