* ProperlyParanoid: Garfield finds it TooGoodToBeTrue that a random woman is interested in Jon and not scared off by him. [[spoiler:He was right; Emily was a ghost that craved company]].

* AllJustADream: The ghost trying to skin Garfield in "Terror in the Mirror" [[spoiler:is actually one of his nightmares. OrIsItADream when he wakes up and half of his fur is shaved]].
* BeenThereShapedHistory: Subverted. It turns out that Shamus Arbuckle wasn't a sea captain that defeated Blackbeard; he was a pirate cook for Edward Teach, and a terrible one at that. Garfield wisely decides to never tell Jon that tidbit.
* CasualDangerDialogue: With Blackbeard and Khufu, Garfield can't stop wisecracking. It helps that once he reasons with them, the ghost and mummy respectively back down.
* MaintainTheLie: Garfield and Odie smudge the inscription on Shamus's toy sword so that Jon never knows that his ancestor was a fraud.
* NobodyCallsMeChicken: In "The Well-Fed Phantom," Nermal dares Garfield to go into a haunted house. Much later, Garfield wonders why he let Nermal talk him into doing such a thing.
* OutOfGenreExperience: Each story is a homage to ghost stories, with "The Lady of the Mist" in particular being more melancholy than usual Garfield stories.
* PokeThePoodle: Subverted with the Well-Fed Phantom. He says he doesn't want to hurt Garfield but would rather get his midnight snack. [[spoiler:When he finds out that Garfield has eaten all the food in his fridge, however, he tries to eat the cat. Garfield sensibly tails it out of there]].
* SpannerInTheWorks: If Garfield hadn't been insulting Blackbeard while wielding his sword, or so he thinks, the pirate wouldn't have appeared and revealed in turn that Shamus was a fraud.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: When they find out Shamus was a fraud, and his cutlass was actually a vintage toy, Garfield and Odie decide to hide the inscription on it that would reveal it as a toy. They don't want Jon's feelings to be hurt.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Zigzagged; Garfield acts like he's in a movie when encountering the mummy Khufu. It ''does'' keep him alive long enough to find the pharaoh's real mummified cat and to get Khufu off his back.
* YankTheDogsChain: Jon meets a lady named Emily who doesn't find him a horrifying, disco-loving geek, and they have a lovely night together. He even chivalrously gives her the bed in his cabin and goes to sleep with the pets. [[spoiler:It turns out Emily is a ghost who visits passerby in the park when she's lonely, and she only appears on misty night. Jon is understandably crushed]].
* YouAreNotAlone: When Jon moans about [[spoiler:having fallen for a ghost]] in "Lady of the Mist," Odie and Garfield immediately give him cuddles, to remind him that he isn't alone and never will be.
