The Specter family consists of Olive Specter and her niece Ophelia Nigmos. Olive also has a son, Nervous Subject. He was taken away from her as a child, for reasons which still remain unknown, and his father is believed to be the Grim Reaper, although there is no father shown in his family tree. When she dies, only two days after you start playing the Specter lot, her inheritance goes to Nervous, instead of going to Ophelia, the expected heir. He lives with the Beaker Family.
Olive Specter and her deceased sister, Willow Nigmos, were children of Lerato Muenda and Peponi Muenda.
There is something eerie about Olive Specter...Olive seems to have a dark past. Her memories show she was left at the altar when she was an adult, and afterwards, the man who left her at the altar, Earl E. DeMise, well... met his early demise. She married many times after that, and all of her other husbands met an early end, as well. She was also the witness to several NPC deaths, and their graves remain on her lot. Their ghosts wreak havoc on the yard, causing many puddles and weeds to appear, showing that the ghosts are obviously angry.
Ophelia Nigmos is the daughter of the deceased Creon and Willow Nigmos. She was sent to live with Olive after their deaths. Olive and Ophelia's address is 13 Dead End Lane.
Onomatology
Specter ghost, or something that haunts the mind
Olive Specter: The olive tree.
Ichabod Specter (Olive's third husband): Hebrew for 'without honor'. Could refer to the character Ichabod of Sleepy Hollow.
Rigger Mortis (Olive's first husband): 'Rigger' means to rig or dresses, while 'Mortis' refers to the French word 'mort', which means death. Rigor Mortis is a state in which a corpse's limbs become stiff and difficult to move.
Hugh Thanasia (Olive's second husband): From the word 'Euthanasia', means literally "good death" in Ancient Greek. Refers to the practice of ending a life in a painless manner.
Lou Thanasia (Hugh's brother): A shortening of the given name Louis. Louis means "Famed Warrior." Sounds similar to Hugh Thanasia, so could also mean "good death."
Earl E. DeMise (Olive's fiancé): Means "Early Demise", early death.
Tim Lee DeMise (Earl's brother): Perhaps could refer to "Timely Demise" - "timely death."
Nigmos -- Possibly taken from "enigma" - a mysterious occurrence, also means "a confusing character or person", which could possibly refer to Olive herself.
Ophelia Nigmos (Olive's niece): In Ancient Greek, it means "help." May also refer to the Shakespeare character Ophelia from "Hamlet," who went mad and drowned herself.
Willow Nigmos (Ophelia's mother, Olive's sister): Refers to the Willow Tree. May also refer to willow as a word meaning erode as "willowing away"
Creon Nigmos (Ophelia's father): In Greek, means 'ruler'.
Hecate Nigmos (Ophelia's paternal grandmother): Greek for far-shooting. Refers to the goddess of wilderness and childbirth.
Zog Nigmos (Ophelia's paternal grandfather): In Dutch, zog comes from "kielzog" which means wake, the white turbulent water behind a boat.
Muenda -- Could refer to Munda, which is a place in the Solomon Islands.
Lerato Muenda (Ophelia's maternal grandmother): It means Love, an African name.
Peponi Muenda (Ophelia's maternal grandfather): Peponi means melon in Greek.
