''[[Ghost Stories]]'' (alt title: '''''School Ghost Stories''''' or '''''Gakkou no Kaidan''''') is a twenty
It is soon after revealed that Satsuki's mother was responsible for sealing several ghosts who haunted not only the school but also the town, and [[Sealed Evil in a Can|now they are released due to the urbanization taking place in the surrounding area]]. Kayako left behind a book detailing how to exorcize the ghosts once and for all. In her first confrontation, Satsuki faces a demon called Amanojaku, but in the process Amanojaku is sealed within Satsuki's pet cat, Kaya. Although Amanojaku does not want to help Satsuki at first, the danger soon threatens to envelop the town and it is left up to Satsuki, her friends and Amanojaku to stop the ghosts.
Line 10:
* [[Actor Allusion]]: In the [[Gag Dub]], Satsuki answers a call with "Milk-chan here", even doing the same voice. More direct references also fly in the dub, such as Satsuki commenting that Leo's developed a bigger ego than [[Chris Patton]] and the entire cast referring to Satsuki's father by his voice actor's name in one episode.
** In another episode in the dub, a ghost is played by [[Vic Mignogna]] who is credited as "Obi Frostips". A few episodes later, Hajime mentions a "frosted Vic Mignogna lookalike" who is "[[Fullmetal Alchemist|Full Metal Disgusting]]".
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: No kidding. The only adult characters that ever helped the protagonists were a bumbling teacher in episode 18, and a night watchman in episode 16, {{spoiler|who then turned to be another ghost, and in fact, anytime an adult IS useful, they usually turn out to be ghosts}}.
* [[Agent Mulder]]: Leo.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: The Headless Biker goes in a chaotic rampage during the anniversary of his death, cutting off everything that resembles a head.
Line 70:
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: In the gag dub, the ghost of a rabbit and one of the crew members. She breaks up with him not because he's a rabbit, but because [[Where Da White Women At?|he's black.]]
* [[Invisible to Adults]]: Babasare.
* [[
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: Shirotabi. Apparently any creature ressurected by that particular ritual comes back a a [[Came Back Wrong|berserk monster]], but this time, it just HAD to be a fluffy little rabbit...
* [[Lull Destruction]]: Used frequently in the dub to turn boring moments into successful humor. A good example is in Episode 15, where Yamime goes "Wheeee!" when floating up the stairs, then casually humming a tune while removing the barricade from the bedroom door.
Line 83 ⟶ 84:
* [[Murderous Mannequin]]: Episode 16 features an army of quite creepy mannequins.
* [[Names to Know in Anime]]:
** Satsuki: [[Tomoko Kawakami]] and [[
** Hajime: [[Takako Honda]] and [[Chris Patton]]
** Momoko: [[Kumi Sakuma]] and [[Monica Rial]]
Line 101 ⟶ 102:
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Starting in episode 15 in the dub.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: It happens with the friendlier and more harmless ghosts of the old school building.
▲* [[Replicant Snatching]]: Episode 7 was about a group of evil spirits residing in a dimension beyond the mirror who tried to abduct everyone in town and impersonate them once the originals were trapped in the other dimension.
* [[Right on the Tick]]: In episode 5, there's a ghost who is said to always kill a runner at the sports festival at 4:44. (At least according to the gag dub).
* [[Rule of Scary]]: Boy, where to start...
