Duncan Gets Spooked

"Haunted bridge. Pah! It's as tame as a pet rabbit!"

- Duncan

Duncan gets Spooked is the twenty-fourth episode of the fifth season.

Plot
When Peter Sam's trucks break away and fall into a ravine Duncan chortles that Peter Sam's trucks will return to haunt him, so Rusty tells him of an engine who tried to cross the same ravine and fell into the swamp below. Duncan is dismissive, but his crew plan to teach Duncan a lesson and take him across the bridge. After seeing the ghost heading towards him (though it's just an engine formed by fireflies) Duncan is spooked and runs back to the safety of the shed.
