Celebrity Ghosts That Don’t Scare Me

#1 Celebrity Ghosts That Don’t Scare Me - Or You!

From loyal companions to downright heroes, these magnificent mutts warmed our hearts as kids, but, statistically speaking, they're all definitely dead now.

Celebrity ghosts are those we desire to see most, because as celebrities led happier lives on Earth they are less likely to be all spooky and moaning. With that in mind, here's a list of celebrity ghosts that I'm totally okay with being haunted by. They don't scare me one bit!

#2 Lassie

Pal, the first dog to play Lassie, was 18 years old when he died. Born on June 4, 1940, in North Hollywood, Calif., he passed away in 1958. Since then, the role has since been played by a number of other rough collies.

Pal retired in 1954 after filming two pilot episodes for the "Lassie" television series. Pal's son, Lassie Junior, took over the role of Lassie. In the 2008 "Lassie" program, the role of Lassie was played by a 10th generation lineage dog descended from the original star Pal.

#3 Buddy

I've heard of a golden retriever, but a ghost retriever? Best known as Comet from Full House and the titular star of the Air Bud series, I wouldn't be scared in the slightest if Buddy's ghost showed up at the foot of my bed. Instead, I would pet him and remind him that he is in a better place, as ghost Buddy likely still has the right hind leg that living Buddy had amputated due to synovial cell sarcoma before dying in 1998.

#4 Gidget

The verdict is in: we the people wouldn't find the ghost of this Legally Blonde star scary at all! Gidget was a worldwide phenomenon in her role as the Taco Bell Dog, so were she to appear before me in some spectral form, I'd be reaching for my selfie stick before reaching for a weapon or a phone to call the police with. Yo quiero one more day with this good girl who was euthanized in 2009 after suffering a stroke!

#5 Beethoven

Big dog, bigger heart. Beethoven lept into our lives in 1992, so even if he was just a pup when he found stardom, a St. Bernard's 8-10year lifespan puts him firmly in an oversized grave by now. He is one ghost nobody would want to call Ghostbusters for!

#6 Eddie

Eddie, the lovable Jack Russell terrier from Frasier, was born in 1990. That's 24 years ago. Honestly, would you even WANT Eddie to still be alive? What would that even look like? He's in doggy Heaven now.

#7 Honey Tree Evil Eye

AKA 'Spuds Mackenzie".. Don't let the wicked name fool you, you probably remember this good pup as Budweiser spokes-dog Spuds Mackenzie- "the Original Party Animal!" There's no reason to presume that his ghost would be evil either, so I would give him the benefit of the doubt. I would scratch him behind his ghost ears and let him watch me drink a beer, then I would tell him that a better name for him would have been Honey Tree Good Dog and that I am sorry he died of kidney failure in 1993.

#8 101 Dalmations

Cruella de Vil isn't the real villain of this movieit's time. Dalmatian inbreeding has left the entire species almost 30 percent deaf, along with genetic predispositions toward urinary stones and epilepsy. Combine that with the sheer number of dogs that appear in the film and the continuity requirements of replacing the rapidly maturing puppies with smaller newborns, and it's likely that this film contains more dead dogs than any other from your childhood.

We're still not afraid they'll haunt us!

#9 Pete The Pup

Pete the Pup, from The Little Rascals is 1,000 percent dead. He passed away in 1946. Pete the Pup, was the son of Pal the Wonder Dog, popular animal actor in a lot of 1930's movies and shorts from the Hal Roach Studio. Petey was a pit bull, but oh so lovable. Who could ever be afraid if haunted by his ghost?

#10 Soccer

AKA 'Wishbone".. Even if he read me Dracula and Frankenstein back to back as his incorporeal dog body danced above my bed, I'd have nothing but tummy rubs for the ghost of this Daytime Emmy award winner. What's the story? I'm not frightened of dog ghosts. What's the story, Wishbone? You're a very good boy, and you died of old age in 2001.

#11 Happy

In case all dogs DON'T go to heaven, the soul of this 7th Heaven star will be left wandering the earth for eternity. But can you really imagine being frightened by the Camden family's furriest friend? Of course not. I would take him on a long ghost-dog walk and ask him if he ever noticed anything icky about his disgraced co-star Stephen Collins before dying of undisclosed causes in 2010.

#12 Toto

Her real name was Terry, and she dies in 1945 after living a long Hollywood life. The Wizard of Oz came out in 1939 and Terry had already played in over 12 films. For her work in Oz, Terry was paid $125 per weekmore than the Munchkins received. If she haunted me today I certainly wouldn't put her in a basket and take her for a bike ride.

#13 Benji

Higgins (December 12, 1957 November 11, 1975) was one of the best-known dog actors of the 1960s and 1970s. Most people remember him as "Benji" or as "Dog" from Petticoat Junction, two of the most popular roles he played during a 14-year career in show business. He was among the first animals to carry a full length movie as the star. Now would his ghost frighten you? So adorable!
