<p id=”par-2_19″>The fourth <em>Ghosts</em> Halloween special, “Halloween 4: The Witch,” airs Thursday, Oct. 31 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. </p>
<p id=”par-3_50″>In the episode, the ghosts are looking for some excitement after <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ghosts-is-rose-mcivers-pregnancy-being-written-into-the-show.html/”>Sam (Rose McIver)</a> and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) cancel Halloween because of past holiday disasters. When uptight ghost Patience (Mary Holland) becomes convinced that Sam can summon the dead, she convinces the other ghosts to try her as a witch. </p>
<p id=”par-4_11″>Sam isn’t concerned about her upcoming trial, but Jay is worried. </p>
<p id=”par-5_31″>“Patience is not to be trifled with,” he says in a teaser (via <a href=”https://youtu.be/AxVUxzMv2uU?feature=shared” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>YouTube</a>). “And I’ll just leave you with this. Historically, witch trials, they don’t end well for the witches.” </p>

New episodes of <em>Ghosts</em> are also available to stream on Paramount+, where subscribers can also also watch the three previous <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ghosts-episode-5-halloween-ghostbusters-spook-woodstone-mansion-spirits.html/”><em>Ghosts </em>Halloween episodes</a>. </p>
