"It's Great to Be a Ghost!" is the 6th episode of The Backyardigans.
Summary[]
The episode starts with Pablo introducing himself to the audience and says that he is pretending to be a ghost. Uniqua and Tyrone soon enter the backyard to play hide-and-go-seek, and Pablo sneaks up behind them and scares them. He tells them that he's a ghost. Uniqua decides to be a ghost like Pablo as well. Tyrone becomes reluctant at first, as he's afraid of ghosts, but then he decides to join in as well. The backyard transforms into a dark, misty landscape and the trio comes across a haunted house, where they realize that they have become actual ghosts.
Upon entering the house, they decide that they should practice scaring however, Pablo manages to scare his friends by hiding in a painting then Uniqua scares the two by becoming invisible and moving a candleabra around. Tyrone is about to show off his scaring skills when the doorbell rings. They open it and shout "Boo!", hoping it to be an unsuspecting stranger, but it's only Tasha.
Tasha tells the them that she's not afraid of ghosts and that they suggest playing "hide-and-go-boo" (a ghost version of hide-and-go-seek) to see if this claim is true. The ghosts all go to find their hiding places very quickly except for Tyrone, who still feels nervous. Pablo and Uniqua are soon discovered by Tasha and they then use their respective powers to try and frighten her, but they don't succeed.
Upstairs, Tyrone starts hearing his friends calling out for him and laments that he's just not spooky enough to scare the two. When he puts his hand on the wall, it suddenly rotates 180 degrees and Tyrone finds himself in a bedroom. A white sheet falls on his head; he looks in the mirror and he soon thinks that there is a ghost that is after him. However, he soon realizes that he is the "ghost" and he gets an idea.
Uniqua, Pablo, and Tasha all walk upstairs; the wall changes back to its original position. Tyrone chases his friends downstairs. A frantic Tasha runs into a room to escape and then she slams the door. Tyrone bumps into the door and the sheet falls off his head but Uniqua and Pablo tell Tasha that there is no ghost and that it's only Tyrone.
Tasha immediately comes out of the room and she commends Tyrone on his scare, admitting that she was truly afraid. Pablo says that it's great to be in a haunted house, and a voice replies "It's great to be a ghost!" in a spooky manner. Pablo then nervously invites them all over for apples at his house, and the rest of the gang accepts. They all go running out of the haunted house as it transforms back into the backyard and go inside Pablo's place. Tyrone opens the door and yells "Boo!" at the audience, ending the episode.
