* StylisticSuck: The show that featured the Farhampton Inn ''"True and Real Ghost Stories of the Supernatural"'' makes a "dramatic" recreation of Captain Dirdoff's legend, with the crew clearly editing the testimonies from the hotel staff, and there are fake special effects where the producers can be seen in a corner. The poor quality production shows that the show and the ghost are fake, but Marshall still believes in the haunting.
