* Though the gang manages to survive, they're clearly very shaken by the ordeal. When Simone revealed their true nature, Daphne worriedly whimpered that this was more than she bargained for, and it's not hard to imagine Daphne felt guilty about nearly getting everyone killed just for her show and desire for real monsters. The gang didn't even survive by working together as a team to pull of a scheme like they usually do - it was sheer dumb luck that bought them enough time for the werecats' deadline to arrive. They were being cornered by the werecats when time was up.

** All of the initial paranormal activity, such as ghosts appearing in mirrors, writing threatening messages on the wall and even Morgan Moonscar himself coming back from the dead was actually the spirits of long dead victims trying their ''absolute best'' to get the Scooby Gang out of there. Not only can they not communicate effectively, that's exactly what Mystery Incorporated went to this swamp for, so of course they're going to stay. In the end, the dead are powerless to change the fates of the living.

** Let's not forget, as the above example implied, that plantation almost certainly would have had slaves working on it. At least the settlers who started the plantation presumably ''wanted'' to be there initially. How many of Simone and Lena's victims were trapped on Moonscar Island by force and then had to haunt it for over a century after they were killed?
