Powers and abilities
The Space Ghost left glowing footprints and fingerprints that dissipate after an undetermined time. This was later revealed to be due to rubber gloves and boots dipped in phosphorous.

History

When Scooby-Doo managed to get the Space Ghost trapped in an air tunnel, the costume fell off, revealing the identity of Henry Bascombe, the next door neighbor of a local farmer. He was trying to scare the Farmer and the Air Force into selling their lands cheap.[1]
