Howlin' Harriet is a minor character in the Disney Channel series The Ghost and Molly McGee. She is the ghost of a local woman who was killed by a passing train and began to haunt the local forest in Brighton.
Background[]
Howlin' Harriet was once a native of Brighton who was chased by the townsfolk for "selling uncured sausages on a Wednesday". The laws were weird back then. Harriet ran and tripped over a railroad where she was killed by a passing train, losing her toes (the only thing the townsfolk found) in the process. Since then, she became a vengeful spirit who haunts the local forest in search of new toes. Thanks to the ingenuity of Molly McGee, Libby Stein-Torres and Scratch, the last one reluctantly, Harriet got a new set of toes and finally came to peace.
Personality[]
- Harriet: "[spooky howls]"
- Lucritia: "Thank you Howling Harriet. I couldn't have said it better myself."
- Scratch: "Are we all just pretending we understood that?"
- ―Howlin' Harriet's testimony at Scratch's trial in "Molly vs. The Ghost World"
Harriet is a victim of circumstance. While she came off as a vengeful and angry spirit, she was really just a sad individual who wanted some peace of mind. Upon getting new toes, she became happy and welcoming. While she mostly communicated through spooky howls that most other ghosts can understand as a ghost, she is still capable of speaking words.
Physical appearance[]
In her corrupted form, Harriet was a pitch black ghost that glowed green and had large eyes, horrifying teeth and large stick-like hair. When she was at peace, she is a green ghost with a skirt-like body, shoulder length hair, and yellow eyes with lashes surrounded by black circles.
Powers and abilities[]
Harriet has the ability to shapeshift and phase through walls like other ghosts. Due to her anger, she had the ability to transform into a monstrous version of herself.
