American Horror Story's Best Ghosts

Sexy maids, deformed zombie babies, and a man in rubber, oh my! American Horror Story's has a vast household of ghosts lurking around the Los Angeles property, but some are far more frightening than others...


One new episode at a time, American Horror Story continues to creep the crap out of us. The FX horror show is filled with twisted new characters to further unravel the distorted plot surrounding the infamous Murder House and its former inhabitants. Some of the spirits loathe being forever trapped in the residence, moping around as they're forced to suffer through their repetitive destiny. But quite a few are taking a much more hands-on approach to the Harmon family moving in to the mansion...and as expected, they're making the family's stay literally turn into a living Hell. Read on to learn about American Horror Story's Best Ghosts!

Love the show and are looking for some of American Horror Story's Creepiest Moments?  We have you covered.

Patrick

Look out, Moira! You're not the only one trying to seduce all of the men in the house! Enter Patrick, Chad's boyfriend who was unsatisfied in their relationship. Looking for love, Patrick began to have cyber-sex with a man in a BDSM chat room. Chad tried to bring the spark back by purchasing the rubber suit, but Patrick thought it was too little, too late. When it was clear he and Chad weren't going to adopt a child (for Nora to steal), Tate donned the latex costume and violently murdered both of them. Forever trapped alongside Chad in the Murder House, Patrick has made it clear he's looking for love elsewhere during his afterlife. The unfaithful guy even groped and tried to seduce Ben. Time will only tell what other men Patrick will try to get down with.

Charles Montgomery

The man who technically started it all, one could blame Charles Montgomery for this slew of haunted events. To meet his wife's lavish needs, he constructed the Murder House back in 1922. Faced with financial troubles, Charles used his medical talents to hold illegal abortions in his basement. It turns out a patient's boyfriend wasn't very fond of the decision to abort his child, so he kidnapped Charles' kid, Thaddeus. Anxiously waiting for a ransom note, Charles is instead given the chopped up body of his boy. Devoid of sanity, the good doctor re-built his son from assorted parts and the heart of an aborted child. Filled with twisted joy, Charles informs his wife their child is alive, but Nora realizes Thaddeus is now a blood-craving abomination. While hugging his wife, Nora puts a pistol to his head and pulls the trigger. We look forward to possible emphasis on the Frankenstein-like doctor down the road.

Troy and Bryan

The redhead twins definitely deserve to spend their afterlife in the Murder House. Why? Because Troy and Bryan ignored Adelaide's warning! Back in 1978 she warned the two baseball bat-wielding brats not to go into the house. The young Adelaide flat-out stated they'll die in there, but the urge to smash stuff was apparently too great. Making a mess out of the already rundown house must have been fun for a bit, but I sincerely doubt it was worth the clawed surprise waiting for them in the basement. Afer being sufficiently creeped out by body parts in jars, Thaddeus made short work of the dastardly duo with his sharp nails and teeth. The two were spotted hanging out with Adelaide and carrying out their tradition of vandalism with eggs on Halloween.

Beau

We can't help but feel bad for Beau. The severely deformed son of Constance just wanted to play catch with his red ball, but instead he caught a pillow to the face. The seemingly innocent brother to Adelaide and Tate was kept chained in the attic until Larry Harvey suffocated him back in the 90s. Constance had her boy-toy kill Beau in fear he'd be taken away after Tate's shockingly violent and emotional Westfield High Massacre. But what happens (to die) in the Murder House, stays in the Murder House. Beau's spirit remains chained in the house, hoping to find someone to play with the red ball.

Moira

The estate's housekeeper appears to be doomed to forever clean the house and seduce men who move in. In the 80s, Moira served as the maid when Constance lived in the Murder House with her husband, Hugo. Already sleeping with the husband once, Moira attempted to reject Hugo when he made advances a second time, and he didn't take too kindly to that, forcing himself on her. But that's when Constance interrupted, shocked at seeing the two together. Unfortunately for Moira and Hugo, she was sporting a pistol. Taking aim with the firearm, Moira was killed when Constance shot her in the eye. As a ghost, Moira now appears different to men and women. To women, she's elderly and sweet, but to men she's young and blatantly sexually aggressive. The show seems to imply she'll be trapped in the house as long as her body remains buried in the backyard. Oh, and if you promise to build her a pool, I recommend following through with that.
