I had help--the "Misery Loves Company" section on this page (http://13ghosts.warnerbros.com/production.html?5#) had their titles and backstories. I remembered the Torn Prince and Angry Princess, the Dire Mother and the Great Child, the Jackal and the Juggernaut[1], the First-Born Son[2], and the Withered Lover[3], but I'd forgotten about most of the others, and I don't think the Pilgrimess even made an impression.

They're dead things. With extra teeth. Everybody wants one. :) --- [1] Come to think of it, most of the ghosts break down into pairs. The Hammer and the Pilgrimess are both period characters who die as a result of false accusations, and the Torso and the Bound Woman are killed for breaking their promises. Even the First-Born Son and the Withered Lover match up to some degree, in that he's a perpetual child and she never wanted her son to grow up. [2] Mostly because he reminds me so much of the kid in Sixth Sense who asks "Wanna play? Come on, I'll show you where my dad keeps his gun." [3] Fairly easy, given the fact that she had the biggest backstory of any of them.

I wish it were mine. :)
