Alison Cooper is the wife of Mike Cooper and joint owner of Button House, which she inherited from her distant aunt Heather. Alison could not see ghosts at first, until Julian, cheating MP who is the only ghost that can touch things, pushed her out of a window. This incident technically killed her for a few minutes, however she ended up in an induced coma and was revived. Because she technically did die, she came so close to death and possibly even becoming a ghost that she earned the ability to see the dead. Alison is portrayed by Charlotte Ritchie.
