Ghost a Go-Go

Ghost a Go-Go is the 27th episode of the Second season of the CBS-TV series "Gilligan's Island," also the 63rd overall episode of the series. It aired on March 24, 1966.

Synopsis
The Castaways discover a ghost on the island trying to scare them off by moaning at night and doing mischief. However, the Professor gets suspicious when a boat suddenly turns up and proposes they turn the tables on the ghost. They create dummies to place in the boat which blows up off-shore as the Ghost watches and reveals himself to be a Russian spy trying to scare the Castaways off the Island for the off-shore oil property rights. Hearing the Castaways haunting the island as ghosts, he goes to investigate only to run screaming into the night and swimming off to reach his U-Boat off shore. The next day as the tide returns the clothes from the dummies, Gilligan is terrified when a sea turtle moves the Skipper's shirt without him in it.

Trivia

 * The ghost is played by Richard Kiel, best know as "Jaws" from the James Bond film franchise. However, it sounds like his voice is dubbed by another actor when he talks to Gilligan, possibly by Charles Maxwell, who supplies the voice on the Castaways radio.
 * Henry Corden, the original voice for Fred Flintstone, supplies the voice of the Russian commander on the radio, but some trivia sources identify Charles Maxwell as the voice of the Russian commander.
 * The Skipper, who has long believed in the superstitions of the island natives, such as in Three to Get Ready and Voodoo, now decides he doesn't believe in ghosts.
 * When the Skipper finally sees the Ghost and faints, he puts his hands out to break his fall.
 * It is possible that the Ghost was hired to scare off the Castaways from the Island based on Russian Intelligence from Nyet, Nyet, Not Yet, likely leading into Gilligan vs. Gilligan.

Gilligan: Oh, hi, Mr. and Mrs. Howell.

Mrs. Howell: Is there something wrong, Gilligan?

Mr. Howell: Yes, yes, my boy. You seem like you're in another world.

Gilligan: Mr. Howell, don't say that, I want to stay here in this world.

Mr. Howell: Permission granted. Ha!

Mrs. Howell: Thurston, you're so democratic.

Mr. Howell: Lovey, Lovey, Watch your language.

Skipper: What time did you say this was, Professor?

Professor: Shortly after eleven.

Skipper: Oh well then it couldn't have been me or Gilligan because we were both sound asleep.

Professor: Both of you?

Skipper: Well yes, uh...

Professor: Well, then, Skipper if you were asleep how could you know that Gilligan was?

Skipper: Because he told me when he woke up.

Professor: Well, if Gilligan was asleep, how could he know that you were?

Skipper: Well, because I... uh, well...... Yeah, well, if there's anything I can't stand it's logic!

The Ghost: Wait, I hear a feet step.

Commandant: A feet step?!

Skipper: Gilligan, I can't seem to find a coconut that's big enough for my cap.

Gilligan: You should have gone to the other side of the island and got a jumbo-sized one.

Skipper: I don't think that's very funny.

Gilligan: All I mean is that you're a big guy, and you got a big head...

Skipper: Gilligan...

Gilligan: ...And a big heart.

Skipper: Yes... Well... What is it that you're doing?

Gilligan: Making you...

Skipper: That's supposed to be me?

Gilligan: Only the bottom half.

Skipper: Come on Gilligan, I'm not this big!

Gilligan: Well, Skipper, you said to make it life-like, remember?

Skipper: But I'm not that big, Gilligan!

Gilligan: Sure you are.

Skipper: I am not!!!

Gilligan: Sure you are.
