Ep. 80: Ataru and friends encounter a timid ghost at a summer inn
Aired on August 10, 1983

Ataru, Lum, Mendo, and Shinobu check into an inn where they meet Otama, a timid ghost. Each summer, Otama attempts to frighten an elderly couple staying there, but her efforts consistently fail. The situation is ironic because the old couple is unintentionally much more terrifying than the ghost herself. This recurring event highlights the contrast between Otama's fearfulness and the unintentional intimidation provided by her human guests during their seasonal stay.
