The narrator and his friend climb up to the roof of the house to find out what's going on. The narrator tells his friend that they're going to have to figure out who's been messing around on the roof. He's got a message for his friend: don't worry, there's only a small chance that a modern-day person will know how to spell "earthbound spirit" . The two men climb down to find the "earth bound spirit" and the "red string swish" , and the narrator warns them to be careful. He tells them that if they get caught in the spell, they'll get his body back, but they should be careful not to worry too much about the red string swish. He also warns them not to be too worried about the other guy, because he'll be able to play with them. They climb down and find that the "green toad" is talking to them. It's not a frog, it's a giant golden toad. They need to get the heck out of there ASAP.
