16	!!Tropes associated with Spooked are:
17	* ArbitrarySkepticism: Lindsey. While being consistently skeptical about the existence of ghosts and often trying to find alternative explanations, he strongly believes that aliens are real.
18	* BedsheetGhost: Episode 3. [[spoiler:More bedsheet than ghost, as it turns out.]]
19	* BreakThemByTalking: The demon in Episode 4 tries this with the P.I.T. members, ''Film/TheExorcist'' style.
20	* CreepyChild: Piper.
21	* DarkIsNotEvil: Piper is quiet, always dresses in black and can talk to the dead. However, she is a genuinely nice child who helps the team in their work.
22	* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:Matt, in Episode 3, is really a ghost who has been trying to snap his brother out of the delusion that he is the one who's a ghost]].
23	* DemonicPossession: Episode 4.
24	* FanBoy: Elliot. He is constantly referencing pop culture, mostly sci-fi and horror movies and seems to [[SawItInAMovieOnce base his ghosthunting methods on them]]. Oddly enough, he is also familiar with ''Film/TheNotebook''.
25	* HollywoodExorcism: Played straight throughout Episode 4.
26	* InsultBackfire:
27	-->'''Morgan''': You're a little weird.
28	-->'''Elliot''': Thank you.
29	* ISeeDeadPeople: Morgan and Piper (Piper in particular).
30	* LipstickLesbian: Carol and D.J. (Dichen Lachman and Alison Haislip, respectively) in Episode 1.
31	* LoveTriangle
32	* NotADate: In Episode 2, Connor and Morgan have been to lunch together. She thought it was meant as a date, but he thought it was just a lunch between friends.
33	* OuijaBoard: Episode 1. Morgan considers it a spiritual safety hazard.
34	* ParanormalInvestigation
35	* {{Poltergeist}}: The invisible poltergeist in Episode 1 which haunts D.J. and Carol. It turned the TV on to static, threw furniture around, stacked objects randomly and sat on a bed once. Turns out that it was the ghost of D.J.'s mother who died, hence a picture of them together.
36	* TheQuietOne: Piper. In the first episode, she is practically a mute, but she speaks more and more as the series progresses, culminating in her [[spoiler:reciting a Bible passage as part of an exorcism in Episode 4]].
37	* ShoutOut: Episode 1 is a shout-out to ''Film/Poltergeist'', from the static on the TV to Carol's name to stacked objects to the "This house is clean" quote.
38	* SkepticNoLonger: Lindsey leans towards this throughout the series.
39	* TheStinger: While the first three episodes all had promos for the next episode play during the credits, the post-credit scene of the final episode shows [[spoiler:Connor's ex Amanda, possessed by a demon, say "[[Film/Batman1989 Wait till they get a load of me]]".]]
40	* TinfoilHat: Elliot makes a bunch of them in Episode 2.
41	* UnfinishedBusiness: The ghosts in [[spoiler:Episodes 1 and 3.]]
