Snaxburg Gets Spooked is the second event of the main quest. It becomes available after getting Triffany and Wiggle back to Snaxburg.

Filbo figures gathering by the campfire makes for a good social occassion to strengthen the community. While a western practice to share spooky stories during a campfire, such was not necessarily what Filbo had in mind to spend the night as he can barely handle them himself.

Ghost Stories!

You've got that 'party' look again.
Snaxburg is looking pretty busy tonight! Seems like a great time to gather everybody around the ol' campfire!
Yeah, let's do it!		I'm not ready yet...
*Skips to night time - Everyone sits around the fire*
Ahh, nothing like a campfire, eh buddies?
Beats sittin’ in the dark. I tell ya there’s some spooky stuff out there.
There ain’t nothin’ out there, just Bugsnax and trees. Yer just yellow.
I’m not yellow, I’m pink! There’s really somethin’ stalkin’ me! Watchin’ me from the shadows. Keeps me up at night!
I’ve seen somethin’ similar. Up on toppa the canyon. Real curious.
Probably just a wild animal -
Darling, there are no animals here. None but we, that is!
I, uh, I too saw the thing!
Can we talk about something else?
Y’know the Desert Grumps, they had some odd rituals. They’d take their old ‘n dying and seal ‘em in secret caves.
*gasp* Whatever for? Were the dead going to… rise from the GRAVE!?
No, not as such. It’s more the bodies would just…disappear!
Hwut? How?
The writing’s kinda vague, sadly. All I know is they had a rash of vanishing corpses. Long as they were exposed….heck, even if they buried em in the sand, the body wouldn’t be there the next day. Though somma the time, there’d be a little left, just a few bones.
I’m getting’ a chill just thinkin’ about...
Yer getting’ a chill because the fire’s gone out!
Oh, you’re right. Uh, hey, buddy, would you mind picking up some firewood? It’s over by the mill.
*Tidbit dialog at the Campfire*
So we're just gonna sit here in silence or uhh... Yeah, okay, well?...well, fine.
*humming*
Hmph. Zombies...*laughs*... ridiculous...
Hmm, shoulda brought some Snax to roast!
Boo...uhm, boom, crash. Uh, oh? I think I heard something out in the woods...

Ghost Stories Part 2!

Ghost Stories Part 2! The fire has gone out in a conveniently spooky manner. I should get more wood from the mill. Objectives: Get some firewood from the mill.

Okay, where were we? Um...Triffany, you were saying something about the...zombies?
No, no zombies! Listen. Spooky as the disappearin' stiffs may be, that's just a story I read on a wall. We got nothin' to fear from the dead.
I'm more worried about the living.
The...living!?
Obviously we're not the first Grumpuses to make it to Snaktooth. So what makes us think all the others are dead? I've seen those chewed-up skeletons around the island. We all know something kills Grumpuses out there, and it has teeth. Bugsnax don't have teeth. And like Wiggle said, there aren't animals out here...other than us.
She's not wrong about the bones...
Ah! Ah! Um! Time out. I gotta use the little Grump's room.
Now hold on, you sayin' Grumpuses turn cannibal? That's ridiculous, we ain't got the stomachs for it.
Floofty eats Grumpus.
Aah! No way that's true!
Oh, it's true. Late one night, I saw Floofty dragging something along the beach. When I got closer, I saw what it was. A severed leg! And as I watched...they held it up to their mouth...and then... they took a bite out of it!
Aah! Don't mess with my head, Beff! You're gonna scare me snakless!
AAAAAAAAARGH!
...oh grump...I-is somebody gonna check on Filbo?

Ghost Stories Part 3!

Ghost Stories Part 3! Filbo screamed after leaving for the toilet. Hopefully he isn't dead. Objectives: Check if Filbo's okay in the bathroom. Return to the fire...

*gurgle*
Filbo?		Who's in there?
*unnatural growl*
Oh, hey, Buddy! Uh, sorry, I uh, I got a little too spooked and I came here to calm down.
What was that!?	Who's in the bathroom!?		How'd you get behind me!?
Huh? I-I-I don't know what you're talking about, Buddy. Are you feeling okay? You look like you've seen a ghost! He hye hya! *ahem* Well, let's keep it together and get back to the fire! Sorry about that! What'd I miss?
Can we just quit it with the spooky stuff? I don't think I'm gonna get any sleep!
Darling, calm yourself. For I know what lurks in the shadows. It is the Queen of Bugsnax! A Bugsnak bigger than any we've ever seen. She conducts this delicious orchestra, bringing music to our mouths...and once we're dancing to her tune...
She gobbles us up...?
That's precisely right, darling!
This story makes no sense. Why would Bugsnax have a monarchy?
Oh, Wambus, it's just a title. I've seen Bugsnax big enough to eclipse the moon! What else would you call that?
Uh...a hallucination.
Believe what you will, Wambus. For I know what I've seen. Regardless of what sort of monster you believe in, SOMETHING is lurking out there! And it's only a matter of time before it comes for US!
Grumpin' Snax! It's comin' for us!
I said she's comin' for us! Yeah-yeah! She's gonna get us! Ohhhhh, ooooo!
W-w-wai- no need to freak out, it's prolly just a... something safe.
I'm freaking out, Wambus! I'm not getting eaten by some monster OR Floofty just cuz you won't admit you're scared!
Don't worry, Gramble! We'll go check it out!
If something goes wrong, sacrifice Filbo first!

Ghost Stories Part 4!

Ghost Stories Part 4! Strange noises are coming from the mill. Surely splitting up to investigate is the rational thing to do. Objectives: Investigate the noise in the mill.

I think that sound came from the mill. Maybe there's a trail we can follow?
Chandlo?
Whoa, it's Filbo! And somebody new? Hey, how are ya?
Doing better these days, yeah! Snaxburg is coming back together!
I noticed! I saw the fire and I thought whoa...Snaxburg's on fire...so I came down here to check on it. Then I remembered I left some stuff at the mill, so here I am. Is Shelda around?
Oh...no... nobody's seen Shelda since the, uh, the fight.
Major bummer, bro. I could use her wisdom right now. Anyway, can't stay and hang. I gotta get all this stuff back to Snorpy right away. You know how he gets.
Don't you at least wanna say hi to everybody?
Nah, if I do that they're gonna want me to stay. Catch ya later, bros!
But I- but I DO want you to stay... Darn it. Oh well. Let's get back and tell the others.
Don't worry, folks, I'm fine! Heh heh heh heh! Uhm...oh, a-a-and the noise was just Chandlo.
Phew, that's a relief!
So that settles it. Things are good n' safe n' boring.
But wait... What if Chandlo WAS the Queen of Bugsnax?
Oh please, that brute doesn't have the grace required for royalty!
Yeah, if anybody's Kween around here, it's me.
Ya know, the Desert Grumps had a history of matriarchal leadership. Real fascinatin' system they had! Every year the ladies would go huntin' and the one to bring back the biggest Bugsnak was the new head honcho...But only if they could eat the whole snak in one sitting, doncha know!

Trivia

• During Ghost Stories! the Journalist can look behind them and spot the Snaxsquatch in front of the Donation Box. Once having been in the viewpoint it loudly stomps of but only for the Journalist to notice. They make no mention of it.
• During Ghost Stories! the Journalist is supposed to gather wood from the Mill. Optionally the wood stacked at the Unfinished Hut can also be taken.
• Floofty, Snorpy and Shelda are mentioned and Chandlo makes his grand entrance. Cromdo is absent of mention regardless if he is even likely met by the player at this point.
