** It varies a little from version to version of the character, but when it comes up, Casper's main deal is that he doesn't want to scare ''anyone,'' nice or mean. On the occasions when he willingly scares mean people, it's generally because he's trying to protect someone from them. Ghosts like the Ghostly Trio consider this just one step above doing good deeds, and as such they don't count it as actual scaring.

*** Casper also has a cousin named Spooky who's also got a different-colored nose (albeit Spooky's is black while Hairy's is red) and wears some clothing (Hairy and his bow-tie and Spooky with his hat), so maybe he's Spooky's dad? It's just as unlikely as him being Casper's dad, but then again the Ghostly Trio doesn't look like they'd be related to Casper or Spooky either.

* Spooky's "doiby" is solid and can't pass through walls or turn invisible like he does. Why doesn't Poil have the same problem with her hair ribbon? Does she shop somewhere where they sell special clothing and accessories for the spirit set?

* What happens to the corpses of the dead? Dr Harvey will have a lot of explaining to do if his body is ever found in that trench...
** Regarding dead people, Carrigan dropped off a cliff, which removes difficulties with corpses. As for Dr Harvey, maybe the Ghostly Trio dealt with the corpse before they headed back. Apparently the Lazarus machine can give you a new body, it seems.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


** It's kind of fun to think about. Maybe it's because [[UncannyValley he looks the least human]] or something. Maybe it's his featureless face. Or maybe he just carries a really freaky aura about him. Maybe it's even the fact that he doesn't want to be scary, that he tries to go against his natural desire, and that [[RealityIsUnrealistic makes him seem so off]] that people are more freaked out.
