![]() ![]() He sees people who have died, the “lingering dead” in Thomas-speak, and shares his house with the non-speaking ghost of Elvis, who tries to communicate with Thomas through gesticulations. So, does he collect bus tickets, or indulge in a spot of opera singing or bungee-jumping in his spare time?
