** The teenage culprit, David, turns out to be the ''real'' nightmare. Once you see inside his closet of horrors, you realize ''exactly'' why the ghosts are enraged: amongst cat and dog food and flea spray are boxes of animal skulls and collars, a dead squirrel (or baby animal) in a jar, and ''a jar of eyeballs'', alongside syringes, a hunting knife, and a roll of duct tape. There are also Polaroids showing bloodied (and presumably dead) animals, including '''''a decapitated puppy'''''.

* The true form of the ghostly sheep from "The View from the Hill". They died in a barn fire, and... well, there's a reason Jack fainted when he got a good look at them.

It looks like a demon apocalypse -- a figure rising in the background, the ground covered in blood and skeletons, and Ace and Jack lying on the ground, their flesh flayed away to reveal the bone and muscle underneath. It ends with a close-up on Jack's face as he stares forward helplessly.
