The 3 hear another noise and try to find out what it is. Oscar grabs a horseshoe he kept in his pants and prepares to fight. It turns out to be Ernie doing some hammering. They start to think there is no ghost, until Ernie says he has heard a strange noise coming from the kitchen, like someone gagging on a hoagie. They hear it and Arnold thinks it's Four-Eyed Jack. Ernie grabs his mallet and the guys prepare to destroy the noise. It turns out to be Mr. Hyunh gargling. Suddenly, the kitchen window opens, and papers take the form of a ghost. They hear a strange moan coming from the basement. Mr. Hyunh thinks they need a sacrifice. He plans on using Ernie's chicken, but Oscar asks him to use the halibut because it's going bad. They start to walk downstairs and keep hearing a weird moan. The guys all agree that it smells bad down hear. Oscar thinks they should sell the ghost to the circus for money, but Mr. Hyunh says it will make him angry. They find the door and plan to open it.
