|Synopsis= [[Sam ]] and [[Dean ]] work a case at the same place where the boys from Hell Hound's Lair, [[Ed Zeddmore]] and [[Harry Spangler]], are shooting the pilot for their reality show ''[[Ghostfacers]]''. Every leap year, beginning at midnight, a ghost who used to be a janitor at a local hospital kills people and keeps their corpses at the [[Morton House]] for company. Their spirits remain trapped in the house as well as any living person in the house at midnight. Sam and Dean become trapped in the house with the Ghostfacers crew and must figure out how to kill the ghost as it hunts them one by one.
Harry Spengler and Ed Zeddmore of [[1.17 Hell House]] fame are dressed up, sitting in front of a fireplace in chairs a la ''Masterpiece Theatre'', touting their new pilot as the bold new future of "reality TV.". Cue the ''Ghostfacers'' intro, showing Ed, Harry, Spruce, Maggie, Corbett, Sam and Dean (whose shadowed out middle finger is priceless) through shaky camera work in what looks like a haunted house setting.
Phase I: Homework. Ed and Harry pull up in their vintage AMC Gremlin doing the fake slo-mo. They reveal they can start ghost hunting at six o’clock thanks to the flexibility of their jobs at the Kinkos, and they hold their strategy meeting with the team a la ''Ghost Hunters'' in Ed’s parents' garage. Corbett is the Intern/Cook and very gay, Maggie is Ed’s adopted sister, and Spruce is 15/16 Jewish and 1/16 Cherokee, thus making him a “Shamanologist”“Shamanologist. They review a legend in which every four years on February 29th, Morton House becomes the most haunted place in America.[[File:GFwashere.jpg|right|236px]]Phase II: Infiltration.

After some fake reality show drama involving Maggie and Harry in a compromising position, we see Corbett and Sam tied to chairs at a table with a birthday cake and "It’s My Party" playing in the background. A big creepy guy kills Corbett with a spike through the neck, and then slaps a party hat on Sam. Dean figures out that a survivalist usually keeps a bomb shelter and heads for the basement, but the basement door locks behind him, separating him and Spruce from the others. The others meanwhile put themselves in a salt circle and see the [[ghost ]] of Corbett reliving his death. Dean finds the bomb shelter just before Sam gets his own spike through the neck. Sam reveals Daggett was the "Norman Bates"-type of lonely and killed himself after stealing the bodies, and each February 29th, he takes people for his "party". Ed talks to Corbett to get him out of his death echo and manages to get through just in time for Corbett to take on Daggett, who is tossing around Sam, Dean, and Spruce in the basement.
Everyone (minus Corbett) leaves alive the next morning, taking Ed and Harry back to the fireplace to lament over the loss of their friend in a completely exploitative way, even showing the typical reality confessional moment. They show their pilot to Sam and Dean, who warn them that revealing such ghostly secrets usually lands them in straight jackets or gets them a punch in the face or both. Sam and Dean go, but leave a bag behind; Ed pulls out a large electromagnet, which proceeds to erase all the hard drives, including the ''Ghostfacers'' pilot. Sam and Dean peel off in the Impala, confessing they didn’t think the show was half bad.
