Not really ghosts, but Mabel does talk to people (like Tim Kono and Ben Glenroy) who have died. Not in a "they're actually there" sense, more like talking with herself, but it could be compared to ghosts.

Oscar, one of Mabel's childhood friends, was wrongfully imprisoned for a murder he didn't commit. He's released in season 1, and his time in prison is talked about.
In season 2, Charles visits Jan in prison. Jan is also briefly mentioned in season 3.
Throughout the series, various main and non-main characters are arrested (innocent or not), most often in the season finales.

It's very brief, but the start of season 3 episode 9 shows Oliver in the hospital (about to be released), and Mabel has a dream that takes place in the hospital as well. All of this is one short scene.

Mabel, particularly in s1 and s2, sees and speaks with “ghosts”. They’re implied to be only products of her mind, but are presented to the viewer as if she is conversing with any other character. It’s neat. And somewhat disconcerting.

A man crying about his dead cat seems to be intended as a joke (i.e., meant to be laughed at) in S1. Most characters comfort him in the moment, which is definitely meant as a joke in juxtaposition to a lack of group emotion about a dead person. Later, it's implied that the man is too emotional because it was only a cat.
