Production code: 102a
Molly attends a Wilder Scouts camping trip to scope out her options for a best friend.
Tropes:
- Adults Are Useless: The Wilder Scout Leader does absolutely nothing for the entire trip except tell the girls to set up a camp and tell them when it's time to go home the next day, never once leaving the van.
- Arbitrary Scepticism: Scratch doesn't believe in the myth of Howlin' Harriet despite being a ghost himself.
- Black Comedy: A bird is hit by a falling letter from the campsite sign and dies. We see its ghost rise and appear throughout the episode, eventually joining the reformed Harriet.
- Butt-Monkey: Throughout the trip Libby ends up being hurt or trapped or both.
- Ghostly Goals: All Howlin' Harriet wants is to replace her missing toes, so Molly and Libby make some for her. Harriet immediately becomes a good ghost and passes to the Other Side.
- Know Your Vines: Molly warns Scratch that he's eating poisonous berries. To which Scratch points out that he's already dead.
- Mistaken for an Imposter: When Harriet appears, Molly thinks it's Scratch in disguise, while Scratch thinks it's Geoff in disguise.
- Not Enough to Bury: As Libby explains in her story, when Howlin' Harriet was hit by the train that took her life, all that was left of her were the mangled toes of her right foot.
- Oh, Crap!: The Wilder Scouts, barring Molly at first, who initially thinks it's Scratch, get this when Harriet shows up. Molly joins in on this after realizing it isn't Scratch, who then follows her reaction when he realizes that Geoff is actually behind him and they're dealing with the real Harriet.
- Quieting the Unquiet Dead: Harriet is the spirit of a woman who was run over by a train and lost the toes on her right foot in the process and is now said to roam the Brighton woods looking to reclaim them, and is finally able to pass on after Libby makes her some replacement toes.
- Real After All: Libby's story about Harriet turns out to be completely true; even Scratch, an actual ghost, thought it was baloney.
- "Scooby-Doo" Hoax: Geoff offers the idea that Scratch frighten the Scouts by disguising himself as Howlin' Harriet; Scratch, who thinks it's a corny plan and just wants him to go away, instead counters that Geoff dress up and wait for his "special buddy signal", clearly intending to leave him waiting all night. When he finally comes face-to-face with Harriet, Scratch is thoroughly unimpressed and chides "Geoff" for having "stolen my scare". (Geoff's actual costume is... poor, to say the least.)
- Signs of Disrepair: The M on the sign for CAMP Brighton falls on a bird, killing it, and its ghost flies out of its body.
- Weirdness Censor: Kat, Sheela, and even Libby, who helped put Harriet to rest, all think that they just got too riled up from ghost stories and imagined the ghost they saw when the sun rises the next day.
- Your Costume Needs Work: Scratch initially believes that Harriet's specter is actually Geoff and criticizes "him" for the twigs in "his" hair, until Geoff reveals himself to Scratch, causing everyone to realize that they're dealing with the real Harriet.
