[[WMG:Shaggy's uncle was a werecat]]
As has been pointed out, the only way Shaggy's uncle could have been a colonel during the civil war would be if he lived to be over 140 years old. What if he actually did? In ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland'' the gang come across zombies wearing Confederate uniforms. What if Colonel Beauregard's regiment of soldiers encountered the werecats during the war, and Beauregard joined them? Betraying his men to be sacrificed during the harvest moon ritual, Beauregard makes an alliance with Simone and Lena and becomes a werecat himself. Due to the curse, he lives an incredibly long time, and his assistance helps Simone and Lena stay hidden whenever someone comes to investigate the Moonscar Island disappearances. After years of living with the curse, Beauregard finally feels horror and guilt for his evil deeds, returns to his plantation, leaves everything to Shaggy in his will, and [[DrivenToSuicide allows himself to die]] by not performing the harvest moon ritual at the required time. Without their ally, Simone and Lena are forced to return to their old home and recruit a new ally.

The idea that they used to have one and it's gone now makes sense, and a fire would be one of the ways that house might not be around anymore. Although I suppose it speaks to that the Boo Brothers aren't so popular given all those relatives don't want to invite them to haunt their houses. Ain't Cousin Zeko got some spare room?

* Farquard having the necklace that was stolen in the attic presumably means he was dressed up as that ghost, but the ghost in the attic had an accent that sounded very similar to Beauregard's ghost. It's possible the ghost in the attic was Buzby after all, but that Farquard ran into him as he ducked out of the passageway and he bribed him to keep quiet with the necklace or pretended to have simply found it.
