Resurrected

The resurrected, or "returned" are those residents of Arcadia that have come back from the dead.

History
Jacob Langston is resurrected 32 years after he dies. He reappears in China. Immigration agent Martin Bellamy (later revealed to also be a returned) is the one who brings him from China to his parents house in Arcadia, Missouri. Later on Caleb Richards, the father of Maggie Langston's best friend, returns as well.

The pastor's ex-girlfriend Rachael Braidwood also returns, causing complications between him and his wife when she discovers that she is pregnant.

Eventually a mass return of several deceased residents of Arcadia returns (including Jacob's aunt) occurs, causing Fred Langston to call in the military.
