There needs to be a intact body-though he wasn't near a body when he first used it. |

* In ''[[Being Human (UK)]]'', normal people can only see [[Cute Ghost Girl]] Annie sometimes (the rules aren't clear, but it seems to have something to do with her emotional state, especially her self-confidence). Fellow supernatural entities—werewolves, vampires, other ghosts—can always see ghosts. |
