Trivia
- This episode was initially titled The Tower Inferno. Much like The Tower Of Terror, the episode wasn't banned, but the title was renamed after the September 11 attacks, as the title was reminiscent of the incident.
- The English title of this episode is taken from the phrase "A Ghost of a Chance"
- This episode features the Item Finder, it is referred to as a "Treasure Detector" though.
