5	Superjail is haunted by ghosts.
6	!!"Ghosts" contains examples of:
7	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: The Warden refuses to notice any signs of supernatural activity, no matter how blatant- until he winds up dragged through the sewers by the dead.
8	* ContinuityNod: The Prison Mogul's assistant Gerald is shown as a zombie. The ghost of Cancer also later appears, playing around with Ash.
9	** In a disputed example, there are fans that believe the ancient society shown at the beginning of the episode may be that of Pummelonia, although it's unconfirmed by the creators if it was meant to be one and the same.
10	* FreezeFrameBonus: The Warden's photo album. Besides the photo he points out of his father yanking his tooth out, there's a photo of a child Warden biting off a puppy's tail, and a photo of a teenage Warden with a mullet hairstyle and a muscular, wall-eyed prom date.
11	** In the final scene, aside from the Jacknife flower, Lord Stingray can also be seen as one (although his death was not shown on screen). Gary is also depicted as one of the blades of inmate grass.
12	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Jacknife was apparently murdered by the vengeful ghost of his dad, as while the Warden and Chet speak, we see a Jacknife ghost angrily flying after his dad in Limbo and brandishing a knife.
13	** As the Doctor explains he'll have to temporarily kill the Warden to get him into Limbo, some fairies can be seen flying by and observing- and then freak out and fly off as they're chased by one of the Doctor's experiments, who's using flamethrowers on them.
14	* GainaxEnding: The Warden and Jared are taken into the afterlife, but are rejected and told "Not yet" by the strange seven-headed deity. However, the inmate population are reborn as insects and foliage in the jail- and are subsequently killed all over again by the Warden, who muses that it's great to be alive.
15	* {{Mayincatec}}: The basis of the ancient temple that once stood where Superjail's volcano is now, along with its priest Quetzalpacatlan (aka "Chet").
