Written Walkthrough
Walkthrough and pictures by Brave Tomato & Slanted Fish
Welcome to Hemlock Harbor, a town rumoured to be rampant with ghosts. Pick up a shaker of Salt from the superstitious guy on the left. This may seem odd right now, but you’ll need it later.
Next, head left and you’ll be at the entrance to the cemetery. When you walk further, your character will hear something. Then the gates will open… revealing a tour guide. Thank goodness. He’s just about to tour you around “haunted” places, when the ma-magi-magistrate busts him. Mr. Tour Guide will run off and his Pamphlet will conveniently land into your hands.
The magistrate will tell you to find a place to reside for the night, but you really don’t have anywhere to go. For now, talk to the mopey-looking guy on the left. He’s looking for his uncle’s grave, but can’t find it.
Head back to Main Street on the right, and enter the newspaper building, The Hemlock Herald. Ask the lady to let you see the archives, and she’ll allow you with no worries. Enter the room marked “Archives”, then click on the box marked “Cemetery Plots”.
Laugh at some of the names if you like, but keep turning the pages until you see the name Silas Moon. You’ll automatically highlight his name and the place he’s buried.
Go back to the cemetery. Talk to the mopey nephew, and to thank you for the favor, he will give you his Room B Key – a key to a room at the inn! Great, you have a room to spend the night now.
Head to the right again, past Main Street this time, until you see the inn. Enter, and a woman who looks like Edna Mode from The Incredibles will be relieved to know that a room became available for you, and says something about “preparations”. Odd. Go upstairs into room 2B, the one you have a key for. Click on the bed and you’ll try to fall asleep.
During a fun first-person POV cutscene, you try to sleep, but things keep moving on their own! You can’t sleep, you’re getting scared, and you decide to investigate.
Go to the closet and click on it. The Edna look-a-like will fall out and run to her hubby. Augh! Tricked! That’s not funny, guys. You threaten to let the magistrate know, but they apologize. Then, the Edna look-a-like will say that in order to find one of the ghosts, you should play her favorite song on the violin.
Go back out into the hallway of the inn and go over to where the piano is. Click on the Violin and Music next to it to take it with you.
Exit and jump up to the roof of the inn, then click use on the violin. Move the bow back and forth to play the song. Don’t worry if your bow starts glowing, that’s normal. Keep your volume up for this part, and enjoy the tune!
After playing the song, you’ll notice a movement in the window of the mansion.
Go down and talk to that weird ghost hunter guy. He’ll say he saw what’s going on in the window too. However, the magistrate will take him away. Again. After he and the magistrate has gone, pick up the Binoculars by the tent.
Go back to the roof of the inn and use the binoculars. You’ll see an elderly woman open the curtains temporarily and close them again, and then she’ll beckon you over.
Go over to the mansion and enter through the storm cellar. You’ll see creepy dolls and a sheet covering a sewing dummy. Go to the right a little more. Attempt to climb the stairs, but they’ll fall apart. Jump up and push the small crate off of the larger one. Push them both until the bigger crate is just about near where the stairs resume, and climb up.
You’ll pass by a fireplace with a picture of a happy couple. Ah, Poptropican love. Go up the wide stairs and enter through the door. Go to the right until you see a telescope, and look through it for a bit.
As you exit, you’ll hear (literally hear) a woman’s voice asking “Are you looking for someone?” Don’t worry. Someone’s not in your room. It’s just the game.
Of course, with the impeccable manners you have, the first thing you ask is if this woman’s a ghost. She says she’s not, but she’s here to take care of some unfinished business. And she’s going to help you with your ghost hunting journey. She tells you to see Jane, the baker from the Gingerbread House, and say that “Fiona” sent me.
Exit the mansion and enter to the bakery on Main Street. Talk to Jane the baker and tell her that Fiona sent you. Ignore the other two wacky responses.
Jane will press a button and reveal a secret cabinet with an impressive array of ghost-hunting equipment: a Thermal Sensor, a Thermometer, an EMF Detector, and a Camera – all of which she gives to you.
(If you want, you can see the wall of peeps who visited the place. You can see that one of them is a bit show-offish and puts his picture on a frame. One of them is even one of the Poptropican stand-ins in the sneak peeks! So that guy’s name is Abe.
…sheesh. How come all of the NPCs have normal names?! Oh well. Brave Tomato is fine. But still.)
On your way out, grab the plate of Hot Cross Buns from the table.
Your character will decide that the cemetery is probably the best place to go ghost-hunting, so head over to the cemetery on the left, and enter through the gates.
You’ll be in first person view again, but this time, it’s more annoying. Go forward by clicking straight arrows, or click the rounded arrow to change your direction. Check the map to watch out for dead ends.
Go forward, forward again, turn to the right, go forward, turn to the left, and enter through the gates marked A. Go up and you’ll see a psycho-looking woman telling you to hide because some guy in a cloak is coming. One of the ghosts mentioned in the pamphlet leaves a rose in front of a grave.
The camera will be flashing in the bottom right corner, so click on it to be brought to your inventory, and click use on your Camera. You’ll see a black and white screen. Aim for the hooded guy leaving a rose to take the Photo just as the man runs off. Good shot, though!
Exit the cemetery (you can click on “H” on the map to be brought right back to the start) and revisit the newspaper building, The Hemlock Herald. Use the photo, and the newspaper editor will reward you with some Money.
You should store this in the bank. Exit the newspaper building, and enter the bank. Go all the way right and down to the bank vault, then click use on the Money while standing in front of the security guard. He’ll lead you inside the bank vault.
Inside, the security guard’s dog will start digging away at the ground, bothered by something.
The thermal detector will flash in the bottom right corner. Use it, and scan the area underneath where the dog is digging. You’ll see a ghostly figure hammering away at something.
Okay… something is down there. Or someone.
In the meantime, go outside near the Hemlock Herald news building. You’ll see a group of undercover ghost hunters carrying newspapers, including tinfoil hat guy, the guy who sells souvenirs, the guy holding a camera, and the guy who carries salt. It turns out that your photo has made front page news.
The magistrate will walk over and says that it was probably just another hoax. He also yells at everyone to go home. Everyone else runs off, and the magistrate warns you that he’s keeping his eye out on you.
Meanwhile, a boat docks near the shores of the manor with the woman in the window.
Go over there, and you’ll see the boat’s sailor, who’s looking for a room. Give him your Room B Key, and he’ll thank you by letting you use his boat anytime.
Get on the boat and head to the left. Dock at the lighthouse there.
As you enter the lighthouse, grab the unlit Torch. It’ll be helpful once you get inside.
Enter the lighthouse and equip the Torch. Stop by the lit torch to light your torch, then start going up the stairs. Jump two times upwards, then duck, minding the winds that can both knock you over and put the fire out.
When you reach a new staircase, duck the first chance you get on there. Watch out for the gaps. Keep this up until you reach the top.
When you get up, you’ll wonder about the temperature, and the thermometer will flash in the bottom left corner. Use your Thermometer to place it on the wall. Then, go to the right a little and up the ladder.
You can shine the lighthouse’s light around, and if you check the top-right corner you’ll see an Alcatraz-like prison. Jump off the lighthouse and get on the boat. Head over there, but watch out for the rocks, and dock at the prison.
Enter the prison, and click use on the EMF Detector. Head towards the right and take the elevator to floor H. The EMF detector will be in the orange area when you get there.
Go to the right until you see the warden’s office, and enter. You’ll have to click use on your EMF Detector again, or you can use the Thermal Sensor. Either way, you’ll notice that someone is on that rocking chair!
Okay, you’re right in front of a ghost right now. Don’t panic. Instead, use the Hot Cross Buns. The spirit will walk over and eat them. He also says that you aren’t Prisoner 24601 (that’s a reference to Les Miserables!).
The spirit of the warden will give you a mugshot of the escaped prisoner, which also tells you which cell he was supposed to be in. After a bit of explaining from the warden, take the elevator to floor D and head towards the right until you see Cell 8. Go in… go over to the bed…
…and the warden traps you there! Oh great. He wants you as a living replacement for a dead prisoner.
Push the bed out of the way and you’ll see a hole. Go through it.
Using the thermal scanner, you’ll see someone in the top right corner. It’s probably the ghost of the escaped prisoner! Go along the tunnel path. Along the way, you’ll pick up Sardines, a Pickaxe, and a Note to Prisoner.
Read the note and talk to the prisoner to get the backstory about some guy named “Flatbottom” and another named “Valiant”. The plot thickens!
Then, go back the way you came and exit the tunnel. Now, you have to get out of there yourself. Use the pickaxe in the cell, and you’ll end up outside the cell. Yes! Get out of this horrible prison island!
Board the boat and head towards the regular land. You’ll notice that the thermometer has dropped! Get back in that boat and head back to the lighthouse. You have to use the torch, but there’s no wind bothering you now… although there is a floating torch ascending the steps…
Go up the stairs, and at the top, you’ll find the spirit of the lighthouse keeper crying over a mistake that caused the restlessness in his afterlife.
He’ll also say that the remains of the boat he was responsible for crashing are north of the lighthouse. Exit the lighthouse and go on the boat. Travel north, and the light from the lighthouse will illuminate a horrible wreckage scene. Oh my goodness…
Examine the wreckage and you’ll find a Locket. Go back to regular land. When you land, examine the locket, and you’ll find the note forged by Prisoner 24601 on behalf of Flatbottom’s trick:
Oh… oh my gosh. Fiona?! New love?! Wasn’t the woman who scared the bajeezles out of me named Fiona? Go into the manor and follow the same way you did before. This time, after you enter the door, go left and up. Fiona is by the bed.
Talk to her, showing her both the locket and the note to the prisoner. She’ll freak out.
Fiona says that the ring that this Henry guy gave her is at the bottom of the fountain, and then she’ll walk off sobbing. Get down and pick up the Scrapbook, then examine it.
The story’s coming together even more now…
Go to the fountain on Main Street, and you’ll find a bird guarding her nest there. Use the Sardines to drive her off, then click on the object shimmering in the nest. It’s the Ring!
Now, go left and enter the cemetery. The directions you should take are right, forward, left, forward, forward, forward, right, and enter through gate B. Run over to the right and enter the engraver’s shop. Click “use” on the ring in front of the engraver, and he’ll tell you that Flatbottom used it to propose to Fiona but was rejected.
You ask what Flatbottom’s job was, and the engraver tells you to go to the archives and look up August 18, 1929 for the whole story. (By the way, if you click on the owl in Cemetery lot B, the tinfoil hat guy will jump and mistake the hoots for the sounds of the spirits. Uh…)
Anyway, exit the cemetery and head over to the Hemlock Herald news building on Main Street. Inside, enter the Archives room and click on the microfilm resting in the right corner.
Turn the cranks until it says 1929, then click zoom. Turns out, Henry Flatbottom is the magistrate!
Lot A. Hmm… wasn’t that near where that cloaked figure was? Was that… the magistrate?! Well… we’ll have to see!
Go to Lot A of the cemetery (just click A on the map in the corner). Go to the left until you see a fancy grave. Push open the lid… and out comes… a ladder?! Hop in and investigate.
You’ll encounter another labyrinth, but to find your away around, just follow the pink rose petals. Use the map in the corner to watch out for dead ends and see what direction you’re facing. If you did it right, you’ll encounter a ladder up.
Go up the ladder. It’s a secret passage from the tree stump! You’ll hear footsteps and hide.
It’s that cloaked guy… and he… he…
…sneezes. You’ll come from your hiding place and confront this guy. You’ll follow him into the stump, and end up back in lot A. Chase him around until you see him where you first saw him: the covered grave he placed the flower on.
Once you get there, you’ll take off his hood, shake the salt into his eyes (told you it would be useful!)… and it IS the magistrate.
He tries to go off-topic, asking you to leave. You go off-topic from HIS off-topicness and say that he’s responsible for the death of Valiant Lovejoy by sending the fake letter. Oooooo….
The magistrate says that he liked Fiona as well and had to betray his best friend to try to marry her. Yikes, Poptropica’s first love triangle. And also… he says something that you DIDN’T know.
He keeps sending the roses to try to plead forgiveness for the death, but it isn’t working for him. A gust of wind blows, blowing away the cobwebs, clearly showing Fiona’s name on the grave…
And the spirit of Fiona comes out from behind a grave! She says that she forgives him and thanks him for his confession, at which point the rest of the spirits come over too. And… look who joined the party of four spirits and two mortals!
It’s Val-Val-Valiant!
Fiona approaches closer to Valiant and says that she thanks us for giving the restless spirits the chance to finally rest in peace. They disappear, along with the other spirits. The magistrate will thank you for helping him find peace between the spirits and himself. For that… he gives you the island medallion and credits to spend at the Store!
Congratulations! You have finished Ghost Story Island!
…
Well, before we leave, here’s a tribute for Fiona.
RIP Fiona, Valiant, and all of the other spirits we met. ❤

Trivia
- Ghost Story Island is Poptropica’s 23rd island. The countdown started on December 12, 2011 and it was released on December 15 for members with a demo for non-members. It was opened to all on January 12, 2012.
- Prisoner 24601 is a reference to Jean Valjean from Les Miserables.
- Common room: Visitor Center
- Salt is believed to protect from evil spirits, as demonstrated by one of the citizens on Main Street.
- Inside the Gingerbread House bakery, there’s a picture of a customer named “Abe,” who later shows up in Zomberry Island (released a year after Ghost Story) as the video game junkie. Abe’s character is believed to be modeled after Abe Tena, a Poptropica Creator.
- In the archive task of the Hemlock Herald building where you turn the handles to search through old newspapers, a box in the lower left corner is labeled “Balloon Boy articles” – Balloon Boy is a running gag that started with Counterfeit Island. Also in the archive room, there are boxes labeled “errata” (meaning printing errors) and “lorem ipsum” (a common placeholder text).
- This is the first time you hear a Poptropican speak, and it’s Fiona sneaking up behind you asking, “Are you looking for someone?” Many players have reported being scared by the sudden unexpected whispery sound!
- The poster of a ghost with a red circle and slash on it (found on Main Street) is a reference to the Ghostbusters icon.
- Valiant wears the same outfit Bert from Disney’s Mary Poppins wore during the part where they visit the cartoon world.
- On November 21, 2011, a members-only Ghost Hunter Suit was released, but it had to be earned as a prize from the “Spook Central” mini-game. Several ghosts were scattered across Poptropica, and you were given a Plasma Net, Ghost Files, and an EMF detector to help you track them down. The Headless Horseman was on 24 Carrot, Sweet William’s ghost was on Shrink Ray, the Bell Witch was on Wild West, Deogen was on Steamworks, and the Brown Lady was on Skullduggery.

Thank you to Brave Tomato for her help in writing this excellent walkthrough for Ghost Story Island. We hope it is helpful! 🙂
It wont let me examine the ruins. At the part where you are supposed to look for the locket.
I have the same problem. The boat just keeps bouncing off.

Its a ghost story AND a love story! ❤ awww
so cute
[but i had a mini heart attack when I heard the voice. O_O
same here
I nearly had a heart attack and died. *Smart Hawk looks through telescope.* *ARE YOU LOOKING FOR SOMEONE?!!?!?!* Falls of chair. XD
me too! i was mainly freaked out cuz i had the volume of and I STILL HEARD IT!
haha me too! I was expecting them to show a scene with someone actually ‘saying’ it with a speech bubble! I screamed the first time. Even now I still jump when she says it, and I know it will happen!!! xD
I was too, SO SCARY!!!!!!!
I usually keep my volume all the way up when playing poptrpica, and when I got there, I nearly screamed my head of when I heard her. my sis went what’s so freaky and what did I just hear.
I agree
the voice was so scary but the second time i played the island the volume was 100 andit was not scary so weird!
i freaked out when i herd the voice can they changethat please
lol i was in my room then i said i think in looking for someone then i heard the voice and i whipped my head around …………………. then in real life i got cold 0.0 werid
same here too
omg, me toooooooo. I was NOT expecting Poptropica to talk!
Still a better love story than Twilight XD
my sound was off, so i didn’t hear the voice.
It was so scary I almost die!!
who didn’t? ur peacefully looking at the view when a person talks!!!!!!!!!
not normal folks!!!!!!!!!
me too lol… but the voice seems so young and fiona looks so old..
i scope,i exit,i hear,i fall out of chair.
When my sister played it, I was in the room with her and we both jumped when we heard it. I also thought that I was the only one who heard it.
Yeah same, but that voice sounded strangely attractive. 0-0
when i heard the voice, i knew it would happen already. i still freaked out! (i still hear my heart beating)
ikr!
How did you give flowers to Fiona’s grave?
Slanted Fish: BT used the Flower Power from the Store. 🙂
Hello again. Another problem in Poptropica. I finished the Part where I gave the Lady the Photo in the GraveYard, I saved it and came back to it the next day. Then, my 50 Dollars were gone. Is it ok if I send all my problems here? -Q.G.
Forgot something: The lady is GONE.
@Quiet Ghost – It sounds like the game had an error in saving. If you can’t retrace your last steps to complete the island, you might want to restart. You may also want to contact Poptropica about the problem, since we (the PHB) are not Poptropica Creators and cannot help much with game bugs.
Thanks ^.^
* Thanks for the walkthrough I mean *
When I went back to the lighthouse after I did all the steps in the jail, there’s no ghost upstairs! Could someone tell me what’s going on?
That happened to me!! I don’t know what to do!
If you already went to the jail part before you went to the lighthouse, then you have to go back to the main island and wait by the tent at the beach where the boat first appeared and then an image will show up on the bottom left corner and then you have to go back to the lighthouse and you will just see a torch going up the stairs.[You do not have to use a torch. There will be no wind.] After you go up the stairs, go talk to the ghost.
[This is for Crazy Spider too]
Thx, Ashiei! Happened to me too. :3
you have to use thermal vision
where is the lady who lets you in the archives?
The one who says that she’ll pay 50$ for the evidence.
She is in the Hemlock Herald. You have to click on her then she will ask you if you have found evidence already. You’ll reply saying that you haven’t found anything yet and that you want to see the archives.
I can’t finish the part where it says floor D room 8 can some one help me?:(
i am looking’ for Fiona in the cemetery. when i the directions are right, forward, right, forward, forward, forward, forward, right. when I went right, forward,right, it was a dead end!
The actual direction is right, forward, left, forward, forward, forward, right and enter gate B
Slanted Fish: Thanks, I’ve fixed it. 🙂
i like playing the violan.
Good
i think what she means by fiona sent her is that maybe she is not fiona she knows fiona and that jane doesnt know fiona is dead
When I first played this with my volume on I freaked out and looked around the room and fell down on the floor and broke into a cold sweat!
awesome

Is there anyway to get that rose that the “ghost” was holding?? I’ve tried that character glitch but it doesnt work and I really want it.
How do you ask her to let her see the archives? Whenever I lick on her she just says that she’ll pay me $50 for evidence and when I click on the door my character says “Looks like I can’t get in right now.” Please help!
slantedfish: You’ll need to complete all the steps prior to that point.
I have!
I DONT HAVE VOLUME, I CHECKED. ITS STILL NOT THERE AND THE LADY WONT LET MR IN. ALL SHE SAYS IS THAT SHE WILL GIVE ME 50 DOLLARS IF I FIND HER GOOD EVIDENCE!
Hi Slanted fish! I am Brooke, I have only just started this island. I hope I finish it!
Oh, and good job Brave tomato!
Help- I cant open or turn on the microfilm reader
Tried on 2 different devices still nothing
So yeah, this guide/walkthrough is also seen on Super Thunder’s Blog. I wish I was a member so I could complete this island. 😦 The demo version was fun to me. 😀 I think the island will come out for non-members in Janurary I think.
Hijuyo: Yes, Brave Tomato originally published it there and told us we could put it on the PHB. This guide also links back to ST’s blog and credits the author. 😉
i am from the future and i am going to say a message! I GET TO PLAY THE ISLAND BECAUSE IN NEW YORK ITS 2014
Wow, It’s 2015 actually…
this was posted in 2014
i wasn’t freaked out by the voice… though maybe just a little bit
….anyway thank….. for the walkthrough…. also for the mytholigy one….. and this one.
I really wish i was a member so i could finish. And i wil be honest, when the old lady actually talked, i jumped. It really did freak me out.
I actually laughed then. The voice was so out of place. An American accent really sticks out in a ghost story set in England…
Actually, the setting of this story is New England, which is in America. 🙂
I had muted it the first time I solved the island. I made a new account and looked through the telescope. I came back to the phb cause nothing was happening. Then Are you looking for someone?!?!? I’m still shaking. Also, I thought she’d sound old and talk dryly. But she sounded like she was a young woman!
I got the dude and wife out of the closet, but after threating them, when I clicked on them it said chat/battle!! They won’t battle you, but they do respond when you chat!!!
That happened to me, too. Is it supposed to?
Yes, this is supposed happen but it does not prevent you from getting the violin.
no
It’s probably a glitch. What should happen is that you are told to play the violin if you want to see the woman in the window.
It also happened to me. She has lost a tooth, and she drives people crazy! He/her name is (yes, they are the same user) Maroon Rider.
For some reason that has happened to me on EVERY ISLAND!!!
that happened once to me
Great guide! Only thing, I wish it came out sooner cause I finished the island before the guide came out!
The old lady made me jump to! It REALLY freaked me out!
Oh, heck yes! Not a great idea to do this at night in an old church like I just did. :S
I know right?My computer has these really strong stereos and my volume was on 100 so it was loud when it happened.
I’m pretty sure how you found out that the thing you use to find the newspaper article is called a microfilm cause there is a box that says that.Sorry…I’m not trying to be rude if you think i am
when is the ghost story island is released for everyone?
yo, shaggy fish ghost story will come out 1-12-12 k
I loved it! I still read it without member ship!
Well, the whole version for non-members comes out on 1-12-12! And where do you live Calm Sinker? Cause where I live it’s still December 30, 2011!

~ALLISON ANNIE BACHE
anyone know when the train stops
what?
When i got back to the mainland after going into the lighthouse for the first time, the thermometer never went off! I tried going back and walking through the prison and the lighthouse, but nothing works! HELP ME! What did i do wrong???
did u click use in the room at the lighthouse
Have you checked out the prison yet? Go back into the lighthouse and go up. Go up the split ladder and enter through the top. Point the light around until you see a prison on an island. Get down and go there. Details on what to do in the prison is in the walkthrough. After you return to main land from the prison, the thermometer will go off.
The exact same thing happend to me and and i did everything the walkthrough said! have you figured it out?
That happened to me too! It was so weird. I did everything that the guide told me to do but it still wouldn’t work. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!
Please let me know–i made sure that i have all of the items and did everything that was supposed to come before that…do you have any ideas?
If anyone’s wondering, I’ve got about half of the violin song down. Like up to the duet sounding-part thingy.
Awwh, cute. Its an island bout some Poptropican love triangle .
x] Anyways, finished it! thanks for teh guide!
i need help
with what?
what about the money
you put it in the bank
how do you leave the flowers on Fiona’s grave after you get the medal?
The only way to do this is to buy the flower power card from the store, equip it, and then press space when you’re in front of Fiona’s grave. It’s completely optional, though.
omg i am confused how do ypu get in cell 8 in floor d i am stuckk here anyonee helpp please !!! and it wont click on the book even my sister tryed but she doesntg get it pleasee helppp!!!!
push the bed (the big lump to the right) aside, and there should be a hole. crawl through the hole. if you need to get in the cell itself, go to the elevator and go to floor D. then walk to the right until you see cell 8. hope this helps!
Go through the elevator 🙂
wow i actually did it!!! 🙂
What hot crossbuns??Where can i find them?!?!?
in the bakery
when you go to the abandoned house the “woman in the window” is this lady named Fiona and she will send you to Jane the baker. Jane will give you this cool ghost hunting gadgets and then say you can have some hot cross buns too. youll need them later in the game.
Thx this guide really helped
theres this glitch that if you show the ring to the guy again you,ll earn another meadallon
That is so cool! I definitely have to try that next time. Thanks!
It also works if you play the song on the violin at Fiona’s grave at the end. Although, everyone was already invisible for me, but still.
Oh. My. Glob. I can’t even type my own name in properly >.<
what does it mean when it says your comment is “awaiting moderation”? cause mine said that am i in trouble???
I don’t know what it means,but I know you aren’t in trouble ’cause mine said that to, but I think you must have figured that out by now…

When i tried to play the violin it didnt work what do i do now?
Did you move your mouse side to side…
You need to move the bow side to side with your cursor, and how much of the song you’ve played will be shown in the ‘Progress’ bar. Don’t worry if the bow starts glowing; that’s supposed to happen.
I moved my cursor for a long time. STILL NO PROGRESS!!!! 😦
How’d you get that hair? I love it! 8D
It’s a combonation of the Vampire 3 hair (back hair) and the Prom Queen over-eye bang.
I keep getting logged out when i enter certain areas of the island why? this happens in other islands as well. i just want to play.
Try a different computer, it might just be you computer acting up. 😀
Brave Tomato u rock! this is a out there help blog. 5 star totally.
Thanks! I thought I didn’t use the salt… anyway, what happens to the spirit in the bank ? 🙂 😉 😀 ;D
i think that was the guy fionna loved it starts with the letter v.
I think his name was Valiant
he showed up at the end with all the other ghost but did not say anything
“Board the boat and head towards the regular land.”
What do you mean by “regular land”?
That’s you go on to get to the Woman in the Window house and Main Street. Where you started.
she means hemlock harbor, Wild Kid aka Suri Spellriver aka Magyk
It wont let him say, “Be gone, Mortal!”
Is there something wrong with my computer? I’ve tried to use the salt dozens of times, but it wont let me.
Actually, you shake the salt automatically.
try to re-boot the computer
you did not have to use the salt i did not use it and i had it and it said be gone mortal!
i love th walk thourgh! But who was the woman in the window if its not fiona???????
It twas Fiona.
Great guide, BT!
who was the other girl that said she was Fonia?
it was fionas spirit.
CREEPIEST ISLAND YET!!!
the vampire curse island was the creepiest one!
I think cryptids was sooooooo……. Much scarier!
LOL The voice freaked me out!
Well, lesson learned: Don’t EVER play this game at night.
What do you mean, “Board the boat and head towards regular land?” The lighthouse, or the main island? After we escape the prison…
The regular land mentioned in the walkthrough is the mainland, with Main Street on it.
Wait then who was the person in the window if Fiona is dead?
fionas spirit
I finished this island, but I only got half the credits. Why did they half it up?
Poptropica recently made a change that instead of earning 100 credits after every island, it would be 50. This is normal. They probably lessened it because there were so many islands, which in turn would give so many credits.
What you should do is give the man the ring do double up your credits and get the original amount you should’ve gotten. Let me know if this works! 🙂
i cant find the gates marked A please help me
in the trail there is a map with flashlight and an a,the flashlight is you so follow it to the a.
i dont get how to get to the engraver’s shop
is it in gate A or what???
its in lot B and brave tomato you could not go foward twice because of you i got lot B before lot A!
It’s in Lot B in the cemetery, in a small house on the right side past the guy with the tin foil hat.
Oh, about the nervous sweaty emote, your character has done that before. In Wild West island (during the bubblegum mini game) and Game Show island (during a Scaredy Pants game).
LOL!! If you click on the people that run the hotel after they attempt to scare you, the chat battle bubbles will pop up but when you click chat or battle and click on something, nothing will happen! 😀
i had a tree that makes people dance i planted one in the cemetery when i was finshed the game to pay respects to fiona and then the ghost the warden prison and lighthouse keeper came out from behind a headstone and started boogying it was really funny
lol
i feel stupid….. my poptropican new who the cloaked spirit was before me!!
I have done everything in the lighthouse and i put that temperature device but when i came to the main island the temperature device is not showing that the temperature has landed down. What do I do?
On top of the lighthouse, make sure to shine the light on the prison and examine it. Also, make sure you’ve done all the steps in the prison, as written in the walkthrough.
Awesome walk through! Thanks! 😀
hey when i do the violin thing,nothing happens!!!NOTHING!!!! what did i do wrong?!
get his binoculars and look at the very top window
nvm but now i cant get the lady to go to her window
. ITS DRIVING ME NUTS!!!
my name is actually fearless owl on poptropica i put the wrong name!!! XD
HEY BT ARE YOU SURE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO STAND ON THE ROOF OF THE INN WEN WE LOOK THROUGH THE BINOCULARS?
CAUSE NOTHIN HAPPENS
I know this is happening to me too!! I tried to report this to the creators but they still havn’t fixed it! Its more annoying that I’m done all the islands exept ghost story cuz of this error! I tried everything but nothing happens HELP!
When you’re looking through the binoculars, move your cursor up so that it’s pointing at the top window where the woman should be. Also, make sure you’ve played the violin song (by moving the bow side to side).
i went to the roof and used the thing and it worked maybe you have a glitch.
Lolz, i have completed all these islands and im currently working on vampire’s curse! I’m halfway so im really proud of myself, i play on it once a week so yeah :)))
thats preaty good but i have plyed that game and already
vampire’s curse freaks me out
vampire curse is scary this island is not so scary its a love story not a scary story and the only scary parts when you acually heard the person and found out she was dead.
Thank you verymuch
But at the end i thought there was more to it
Loved this island!! But I wouldn’t have been able to finish it if it weren’t for this site!! love it!
LOL! THEY ALL DIDNT LEAVE AND FIONAS MOUTH IS MOVING AND NOTHING COMES UP! 🙂
It did that to me too! And she’s looking at you instead of at Valiant.
lol.
I got the guys with the newspapers in front of the souviener shop, but the magistrate never ordered them off
You must click on the stack of newspapers, took me a lot of time to figure that out XD
when I click the camera nothing happens and then I can’t open the inventory. Maybe the world IS ending!
Are you talking about the flashing camera icon in the corner? If so, clicking on it should bring up your inventory. If it doesn’t, still try to open your inventory so you can use the camera to take a picture.
how did u put the flowers?
They’re optional; BT just did that for fun. You can get them from the “Flower Power” gold card in the Poptropica Store. 😛
the ol lady was soooooooooooooooooooooo scary I really fell off my chair.
I had my heart racing and I screamed when i heard that old lady too. But thank you for the island guides I always come to this site for help.
My stomach had butterflies in it and then when she said it I was like WHAT the CHEESE! *SCREAAAAAM!!!!!* But I just said that inside my head, so no one else heard it but me.
now i hear what you heard its so funny how i am imagganating this!
I was playing based on this, and I went back to the lighthouse and the temperature didn’t drop! Did I forgot to do something?
Oh nevermind I solved it.
Yes why has the tempature not dropped? Please help:)
When i was playing the violin the progress bar didnt move. I moved it side to side but nothing happened at all. Did i do something wrong or is it some kind of glitch?
Slanted Fish: Maybe you’re not moving it enough, so keep it moving side to side until the progress bar moves!
OH MY GOODNESS WHEN THE LADY SAID LFS I SCREAMED I WAS SO SCARED
At the bit where I get out of the tree stump, I do n’t hide or anything. I am just standing there. Can you help me? My username is gloria19012.
Maybe it’s a glitch – are you able to move? What needs to happen is that your character walks over to the other person staking out at the graveyard, and you both hide so you can spy on the cloaked guy.
There is no other person!
There should be. Make sure you’ve done all the steps leading up to that part, because you can’t really skip around or you may miss something. Check the guide for more details.
Yes I can move, I even went back into the labyrinth and restarted the island!
I restarted the island from scratch… Wat do i do now?
You follow the guide and complete the island.
@Samwow5: Duh, I meant that what do I do cause I did follow the guide, thanks to your FANTASTIC advice and I get the same problem! Now what do I do?
Make a new person I guess, and I was not being mean to you I thought you didn’t know.
You do not need to make a new account if you’ve restarted the island. Follow the guide in the right order and you will eventually reach the point where you need to take a picture of the cloaked character. When you’re there, a girl will automatically come up to you and say that the spirit will be here any moment, and both of you hide.
Your cursor won’t allow you to move until he appears and you are prompted to take a photo. If this doesn’t happen, make sure you have followed ALL steps leading up to this point. Also note that after you exit the labyrinth, you still need to go up a short distance to see the girl. Standing around isn’t going to do anything.
slanted fish i think she means when you have to go somewhere in the fog and the guy comes and he sneezes i think that was the part.
the blonde girl who was first hiding behind a grave,waiting for the cloaked spirit,the one who forgot her camrea so you take a picture.
tank u for this guide guys i lov-… lik-… ur good
where do i find fionas scrapbook?
fiona didnt drop anything what do i do!!!?? i tried logging off and then on but it didnt work!
please help i still cant find it!
this island scares me,but i finished it anyway
Please help me! When I went back to the lighthouse after escaping from the prison, it didn’t mention the temperature, so now I can’t see the ghost in the lighthouse. I tried logging out and in again, but it didn’t work.
Slanted Fish: Try going back to the mainland (the area that isn’t the prison or lighthouse), where you started the island.
Will you hear the violin music when you are playing the violin with the volume on?
Slanted Fish: Of course. But if you turn your volume off, you won’t hear any sounds from the game.
Yes.
where is the lady running the newspaper place ? i dontknow where she is
Slanted Fish: Inside the newspaper building, keep moving around until you see her.
thankyou slanted fish
I don’t want to be mean, but this is NOTHING THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!! 😦 I was looking for what to do on S.O.S. Island! |:(
Slanted Fish: Then you’re on the wrong page – this is the guide for Ghost Story. For SOS island’s guide, click here.
i cant find the scrapbook
I almost had a heart attack when she talked!!! i thought my girlfriend walked into my room!!! thats what she sounds like when shes trying to be “suductive”. lol my life is screwed!!!!!

I love the Les Mis reference.
Hahaha I nearly peed my pants when I heard “Are you looking for someone?”
What should I do if I accidentally do the prison thingy before the lighthouse thingy?
Slanted Fish: Go back to the mainland, and if you’ve set up the thermometer, it should have dropped.
