Revealing mistake: Casper is shown tying together the shoelaces of the students in Kat's class. When the bell rings and class ends they all get up and fall down. If you look closely you can see that their shoelaces are not tied together.

Casper (1995)
Plot summary
Directed by: Brad Silberling
Starring: Bill Pullman, Christina Ricci, Eric Idle, Cathy Moriarty, Chauncey Leopardi, Malachi Pearson, Spencer Vrooman
Bill Pullman plays a failed ghost psychologist who is hired by Cathy Moriarty to rid her Maine mansion of the ghosts that live there, including Casper. Pullman and his daughter, played by Christina Ricci, move into the house and make friends with Casper and his three crazy uncles. The reason Moriarty wants the ghosts out of the house is because she heard that a treasure is hidden somewhere in the house.

Question: What was the treasure? Because Casper says its just his baseball bat and glove, but then what does the note at the beginning mean that Carrigan and Dibbs find when the deed is thrown in the fire? Because it talks of treasure but its really only a baseball.
Answer: A machine that could bring dead people's ghosts back to life would be worth trillions of dollars. And that's why It was kept "secret" and hidden away from the rest of the world.





Answer: When Carrigan tosses the Whipstaff documents into the fireplace, one paper's hidden message appears on the back from the heat (if using lemon juice instead of ink, messages stay hidden and only appear when heated); it has a drawn map and handwritten "Buccaneers and buried gold, Whipstaff doth a treasure hold." Later, Casper tells Kat that he and his dad had great fun together playing pirates down in the lab, and Casper quotes the words from their hidden "pirate" message. So the handwritten note with map was actually part of their father/son beloved pirate-playing shared fun (note when the living Casper appears at Kat's party, he wears a piratey costume with a sword at his side). The pirate "treasure chest" contents were merely Casper's personal treasure: his glove and cherished autographed baseball, and it was kept in the lab's vault; even after Casper succumbed to pneumonia, Mr. McFadden kept it in the vault.
