| Ghost Camp / int_33db913f | comment |
Open Mouth, Insert Foot: When Harry seemingly sees a girl's head get knocked off by a ball during a soccer match, he runs towards her causing everyone to gather around them. He then blurts out to her that he saw her head get knocked off in front of a crowd. He instantly regrets saying it, as now it increases the teasing he and Alex get for being the new campers there. And then Alex whispers to Harry he saw it too. | |

Impromptu Tracheotomy: As part of a joke on Harry and Alex, Joey sticks a fork in his neck. During dinner. Within full view of Harry and Alex. He takes it out afterwards with no marks on his neck, but it sickens both of the boys, making Harry do a Dramatic Drop of his fork and Alex do a Jaw Drop. | |

Secret Test of Character: After Lucy tells Alex that she is a ghost, he wants to see if she is telling the truth. So he puts his hand around hers, partly because of this trope or because he actually likes her. His hand passes through hers, much to his shock and confirming her claim. | |

That's No Moon: The forest is occupied by a giant monster, which is so big they mistake it for the ground. Cue its cry of "WHY ARE YOU STANDING ON MY HEART?" But there is no monster, just an illusion created by the ghosts. | |

Strange Salute | |
| Ghost Camp / int_77a19ddf | comment |
Strange Salute: The official salute of Camp Spirit Moon. After saying "Yohhhhhhhh, Spirits!", a camper then give one another a left-handed salute, placing the hand on the nose, and swinging it straight out in the air. Harry finds this embarrassing, specifically noting that he doesn't like funny greetings like this, but does it anyway to fit in with the camp. | |

Harry angrily says that they were babyish. Elvis then asks him that if it was "babyish", then how come him and Alex were so fooled. Harry has no reply for that. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| Ghost Camp / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: We're told the entirety of Camp Spirit Moon except for the Altmans are ghosts, killed untold years ago by a black fog. But it's never explained how the fog actually killed them nor why it happened in the first place. At least with Welcome To Dead House we know where the gas leak came from, but with Ghost Camp there were so many unanswered questions about what really happened to Camp Spirit Moon. Even worse, it's implied the fog contains trapped spirits that tried to leave the camp on their own, and we're never told how the other campers discovered this. | |
