[This. This right here is why Napstablook never leaves their house.
Even going for a walk was dangerous, because it meant they risked running into other people. Other people who might try to talk to them or something. Slipping off to the Ruins was usually a safe bet if they needed to get out for a while, but today they must have gotten a bit turned around. Somehow, they've wandered into the forest, which seemed much bigger than usual, floating around for quite a while before finally emerging to find theirself at...some kind of...festival? With big crowds of strange looking people and bright lights and huge scary looking rides and loud noises and??
Okay, so they must have gotten REALLY turned around. The setting is strange enough on its own, as is the sight of more creatures in one place than they've seen in...maybe ever. But worst of all? Some of those creatures are pushy carnival barkers, and they're trying to talk to them.]
Oh, no...I was just looking...I don't want to play...no, I mean, I'm sure it's a fun game, I didn't mean, to, umm...sorry, I just...I wouldn't be any good at it, anyway, so...no...sorry...I just...I should...go......sorry.........
[They're so flustered over trying to extract theirself from this interaction that they aren't looking where they're backing up. Hopefully YOU are, or you're about to have a panicked ghost phase right through you.]

[Wherever you were going, you suddenly find your path forward blocked by...a spooky ghost!! Well, it looks more like a pillow with a face, but it's actually a ghost. A ghost that is just, really overwhelmed right now and has decided to deal with the situation by simply laying on the ground very still and pretending they don't exist in the hopes that this will all magically go away by the time they open their eyes. Who knows! It might work!!!
In any case, they're in your way now. Deal with it.]
