Talk:Theory: Solving the casket mystery?/@comment-25867149-20151207030427

MYSTERY SOLVED! I just figured it out! Johnny spent some time in an insane asylum, right? They confirmed that in the prequels. And when he came out nobody heard any more of Casket until that episode with Billy and Sally and Gertrude and Maxwell, Johnny sees a room full of Casket and he gets into his head, and that's how Casket returned.

But how did it begin? Simple. The failed Johnny Toast clone "Cardboard Friend" was sent back in time by accident to the childhood of Gregory.Gregory. We all remember this. Now this part is purely conjecture but it explains a bit; if Box Friend was sent back too far it may have affected his mind, which would explain his later behaviour. And obviously eventually he would have died, in which case his ghost would probably haunt the area of the death, which we apparently see in the original episode. So let's assume for a moment that the house we see in the original is in the exact same location as the one in the sequel.

Box Friend would have to have been around when Johnny was a young boy in order to know about his family, and particularly his father. Where is this leading?

We know that Casket can jump into other people's minds occasionally, but he seems to have an affinity for Ghost. So maybe he somehow jumped from older Johnny to younger Johnny via Box Friend?

In any case, we know what happened next; Jimmy Casket was unleashed unto the world. He disappeared that day, and would not reappear until his capture and imprisonment in the insanitarium. By this time, the boy known as Gregory was long gone. And so from the depths of his kind, he pulled a name out from his childhood, one that he associated with moral courage in the face of terror: Johnny. His friend from so long ago.

Let's face it, Ghost is about as original as "Blues Bros 2000". PIE was Toast's company and Ghost was technically the number 2.

There are probably a million ways you could spin the theories round, and we'll probably never know the true story. But do we really need to know the truth, or does it enhance the mystery of who is Jimmy Casket?
