NOTE: Spook Central was a demo game prior to Ghost Story Island in 2011. Only paid members could complete it, and it was not available following the release of Ghost Story Island in January, 2012
The object of Spook Central is to catch 5 ghosts, one from each of 5 Poptropica islands, and return them to the ghost hunter's lab.
(You must be a paid monthly member to complete this quest!)
Spook Central
The preliminary game "Spook Central" is a promotion for the 23rd Poptropica island, Ghost Story Island. In it, you meet ghost-catcher Daphne Dreadnaught, who is working on a ghost containment machine in her lab. She wants you to help her by catching 5 ghosts that are inhabiting the Main Streets of 5 other Poptropica Islands. You receive a file listing the ghosts, a Plasma Web device to catch them, and an EMF Meter (upper left of screen) that detects the spirits by their energy. When the meter shows a ghost near, you select the Plasma Web and use the spacebar to try to trap them.
NOTE: Both the Plasma Web and the updated file are in your item bag under Ghost Story, not the island you are on.
Open the file to see the list of ghosts. Travel to the five islands, in any order, to catch the ghosts there. Non-members will be directed back to Daphne's Lab after catching 3 ghosts. There is no way to play the rest of the mini-game without having membership.
Skullduggery Island - You will find The Brown Lady moving through Fort Ridley, from the telescope atop the fort all the way to the covered bridge. The best places to intercept her are at the Broken Barrel (multiplayer room). Try standing in the doorway, or by the small window at the upper right.
24 Carrot Island - The Headless Horseman ghost is at the Carrot Cake Factory (far right). He will move from the upper left, down and back up to the roof window at the far right. The easiest intercept is at the large green-dripping tank next to the Factory's Carrot Cake billboard.
Shrink Ray Island - Sweet William's Ghost is haunting Main Street, mostly around the school. There are several spots around the upper windows, just right of the Science Fair banner, where you can intercept him.
Steamworks Island - The ghost Deogen is in the Museum just right of the Cantina. Use the Dozer-lift at the right side to climb up to the upper levels, where you can intercept the ghost near the three small zipper-lifts.
Wild West Island - The Bell Witch is inside the Trading Post. Climb up and you can intercept her right at the trader's desk on the second floor.
The captured ghosts seem to be warning you that there is more to the story than just catching pesky ghosts. Return with all five to Daphne's Lab at Ghost Story Island. But when you turn them over, you find that she has intended to use the five to take over Poptropica. She uses her own Plasma Web to release them.
You have just 1 minute to catch all five again as they float around the lab. If you do, it will overload the Containment Machine, which explodes and knocks out Daphne. You take her Plasma Web and the mini-game is over. If you return, she has disappeared. Members who play the quest receive a special costume, the Ghost Hunters Suit.
* Players may encounter a strange effect if they try to "restart" this mini-game (the small island map at upper right). Your avatar may be thrown back to one of the other islands where you captured the ghosts. There does not seem to be a way to play the promotion again.

Where is early Poptropica on Counterfeit Island?
You are actually travelling to another island* (which is actually a simulation of the Pop Art Museum on the real Early Poptropica). When you receive the message, get in the Poptropica blimp and go there.*This was the first island where you would leave the island during a quest. This idea was later used for the Spook Central promotional game for Ghost Story Island. In 2012, a cross-islands theme was used for the first Poptropica game for the DS, Poptropica Adventures.
How do you beat the demo on ghost story island?
There was no demo. There was a game called "Spook Central" that featured a hunt for ghosts on 5 other islands. It was discontinued when the island was released. (see related question)
