    • Trivia
      In the first mystery of the series, season one, episode five, "Ghost Story: Part 5", Alex (David López) speculated that there would eventually be a big mystery as to who Ghostwriter really was. The series ended in 1995 due to lack of funding, and the speculated episode never went into production. The writers had considered eventually revealing him to be a slave, possibly Jamal's (Sheldon Turnipseed's) ancestor, who was killed for teaching other slaves to read.

    A mystery show for young adults that will never be matched..
    "Ghostwriter" was a wonderful escape from reality and into the brain-teasing and fascinating lives of a team of young adults. The teenagers were chosen by a friendly spirit (Ghostwriter) who could only communicate through writing. The original team, (starting out with only two members and broadening into about seven to eight members) is chosen to explore the many mysteries, cheats, and other oddities in their home town Brooklyn, NY. The original "Ghostwriter" TV series was a show like no other and captured the attention of many viewers anywhere. There will never be another show like it, may its memory live on in the minds of its faithful viewers for eternity.
