* ModestyTowel: When Ashley is [[ShowerScene showering]] at the gym, her boyfriend's PsychoExGirlfriend, Kate, does a fake announcement of there being an emergency evacuation, that only Ashley can hear since she's Kate is a ghost that is only visible to her. Ashley then rushes out of the showers in a panic, with just a small towel around her hips and [[HandOrObjectUnderwear one arm barely covering her soapy breasts]]. She's naturally [[NakedFreakOut mortified]] when she finds there's nothing wrong and everyone is staring at her like she's insane.

* PossessionLevitation: Invoked. When trying to scare Ashley off from dating her former fiancé Henry, [[PsychoExGirlfriend Kate]] takes advantage of the fact that as a psychic Ashley is still able to [[TrueSight perceive her despite being a ghost]]. Thus she poses as a client and pretends to be possessed to deliver a message warning Ashley of a horrible fate if she continues "falsely speaking for the dead", climaxing in her levitating into the air as the icing on the cake.
