May or may not be triggering, as a dog doesn’t die on-camera. In S2E2, ‘About Last Night’, a 200-year-old taxidermy dog (originally a characters pet) is a key character in the episode. [spoilers - the taxidermy dog is accidentally set on fire at the end of the episode]

One of the main ghosts is naked from the waist-down, though his genitals are never shown. In s2e2, a character is naked (genitals covered), with a similar scene happening in s4e3

Thomas Thorne claims he is going to drown himself in the lake, and a seen is shown in the end of him standing in the lake up to his eyes. However since he is a ghost it has no impact, and he is not forced to do so.

Arguably, yes. Julian makes quite frequent comments about patting/pinching women's butts and generally being a sex pest. However, it is rarely actually shown and would probably fit Harassment better than Assault.

the ghosts “retch” every time someone walks through them, though i don’t find that very triggering.
however, in series 3 episode 5 (something to share), around 20 minutes in (just after her sister gives her warm oysters) kitty is v**miting into a basin. i found it very triggering and hate to mute it & look away.

Quite a lot of blood/gore in the series:
1) one character is beheaded, and usually has his head/body separated. The inside of his neck is show, and a little gory (with a lot of blood in his backstory episode, s3e1).
2: one ghost was shot through the abdomen, and has a visible wound with blood on his cloathes (more blood in his backstory episode, s2e4).
3: not much visible blood, but one ghost has an arrow through is neck (with the injury being shown happening in s1e3).
4: the plague ghosts have bloodied/puss-filled blisters across their bodied (and a character coughs blood in s2e2).
5: audio gore and detailed description in s4e5, from a ghost who died stepping in a badger trap, though nothing is shown.
