* VengefulGhost: It's implied that most of the specters haunting [=McKinley=] Cemetery are people who didn't heed the warnings about the place and were killed as a result. If Ted fails to escape with his car keys and gets captured by a ghost the narration states that he ultimately gets to join them as yet another restless soul in death.
