* FandomEnragingMisconception: Unless you're talking about [[Film/{{Casper}} the 1995 film]], Casper ''isn't'' the spirit of a deceased child. The creators of the original cartoons and comics prided themselves on keeping the stories lighthearted and innocent, and never explicitly acknowledged anything about Casper's pre-death life (or even confirmed that he was ever anything but a ghost). [[Creator/HarveyComics Alfred Harvey]]'s son Russell was notably [[DisownedAdaptation quite unhappy]] that the film changed this. Casper also ''definitely'' isn't the ghost of ComicBook/RichieRich (that was just a one-off joke on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''); in the comics, Casper and Richie have [[{{Crossover}} met and interacted]] numerous times, making it clear that they're two different people.

* PoisonOakEpilepticTrees: One of the most notorious fan theories related to the series is that Casper is the ghost of ComicBook/RichieRich, thanks in part to their similar appearances. This is despite their names being different and the two frequently crossing over together in comics and cartoons, directly debunking the idea of them being the same person. That hasn't stopped the theory, however, and it's become so common that it's even been referenced in other media like ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''.
-->'''Bart''': Well, you know what I think? I think Casper is the ghost of Richie Rich.\\
'''Lisa''': Hey, they do look alike!\\
'''Bart''': Wonder how Richie died...?\\
'''Lisa''': Perhaps he realized how hollow the pursuit of money really is and [[DrivenToSuicide took his own life]].\\
'''Marge''': Kids, could you lighten up a little?

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: The short "Fright From Wrong" is a major standout among Casper cartoons where for once? Casper actually puts the Ghostly Trio through the wringer, figuratively AND literally! The end reveal that [[spoiler: Casper faked taking the Mean Pills]] makes it even better because it shows [[BewareTheNiceOnes Casper really CAN be genuinely scary when he’s pushed far enough.]]
