His Viking crew deserted him in what became North America for unknown reasons, which left Thorfinn vulnerable to the elements.
While Thor survived some time on the land, he ultimately died at Woodstone. As a 1000-year-old Viking, Thor is one of the oldest spirits on the property yet to get "sucked off."

That said, Pete is the only ghost in the CBS series who can leave the property. Pete realized it was his ghost power at the end of Ghosts season 3. While Pete had an unfortunate death, and the "itchy" arrow sticking out of his neck makes his afterlife all the more uncomfortable, Pete has one of the most exciting fates since he can leave the property.

When Trevor’s pill cocktail ended fatally, his friends dumped his body in the lake on the property.
While many spirits who inhabit the Woodstone Mansion have no connection to the property, Trevor knew David Woodstone, Sam’s uncle and one of the people who worked at Trevor’s firm while he was living.
