Background[]

Biography[]

Not much is known about Caleb Covington. According to Reggie, Caleb died “a horrible death” performing one of his magic tricks. He was presumably a good performer in life and was famous, during the 1920's and 30's.

Sometime after his death, he formed the Hollywood Ghost Club. The club’s purpose is to allow rich and famous lifers (non-dead people) a glimpse of the afterlife. In The Other Side of Hollywood, an exchange between Willie and Alex suggests that the lifers can't reveal the club to the outside world due to more than just being sworn to secrecy, although the exact price paid is unknown as of season 1.

Willie confesses that Caleb owns his soul as well as the souls of the other ghosts at the Hollywood Ghost Club. While it is not known if all the ghosts under Caleb's employment signed up with false expectations and promises, the ghosts that the series introduced (Luke, Alex, Reggie, Willie) had to be coerced into obeying Caleb's commands and/or joining the Hollywood Ghost Club.
