Chester Montley: A powerful, well-respected, wealthy man who is believed to have died while getting something out of the cellar. His will and testament prove to be quite shocking. He was a Christian man with a great sense of humor. He would be devastated to see how his family and friends willingly tarnished his memory, allowing greed to take over their good judgment.

​

Thomas: Montley found him on the street. Montley took him in, cleaned him up, and made him the head butler. He finds pride in his job, but his past has caused him to be a bit cynical and eccentric.

​

Gertrude: Originally born in Germany, Mr. Montley took her under his wing and helped her establish citizenship. She is a bit klutzy - not really the best maid - but she makes the world's greatest iced tea.

​

Cook: A bit harsh. She loves a great debate. She originally cooked for the Woman's Army Corp. and for soldiers shipping out to war. She believes in two things: order and tradition.

​

Charlotte Green: The nurse Montley hired to help him through the last year of his life. Montley saw her as the daughter he never had. Her blond hair, good figure, and high-pitched voice give her the appearance of being a typical dizzy blond, but secretly she is a cunning businesswoman. She sees the Manor as a business venture and not as a gift from a dead friend.

​

Fay Burgess: Born of privilege, she is quick to speak her mind. She adored her brother, Montley, and is devastated by his passing. She is suspicious of Charlotte and jealous that she is the new owner of her family mansion.

​

Mora Montley: Montley's ex-wife is a gold digger from the get go. She married Montley for his money, hoping she would get written into his will. She has a snobbish attitude and cunning personality with little to show for it.

​

Robert Montley: Montley and Mora's son. A businessman who appears to be a clean-cut, upstanding citizen on the outside, but is really nothing but a greedy, snobby rich kid on the inside. He knew his father was dying and began to spend lots of time with his father to see how his will would read. When he discovered Charlotte would inherit the manor, he wooed her.

​

William Trout: Montley's lawyer. An intelligent man who won the loyalty and friendship of Chester Montley. His company has handled the affairs of the Montley estate since the 1800s.

​

Raymond Jones: Montley's best friend. He is head of the Lions Club where Montley was a member, and he is the owner of a billion dollar industry. He is an overweight man with a quick temper. He was truly sad at the passing of his one true friend.

​

Mr. Greg: The private detective hired to investigate the mysterious happenings at the Montley Manor. His main job is to disprove the theory of ghosts, establish who has the greatest motive to haunt the mansion, and arrest the culprit. He is a veteran in his field and does his job well.

​

Guy Nestor: A local historian who supposedly broke down outside the manor the night of the will reading. He sees the value of preserving the manor the way Montley left it. He appears to be a nervous, wimpy man, but then he is not all that he seems.

​

Sheriff: The town law enforcement. He is a longtime friend to the Montley family and was quick to respond the night of the fire. He was also the first to arrive the night Montley had his accident.
