Plot

SpongeBob and Patrick accidentally anger the Flying Dutchman by riding a lawn mower through his graveyard and shavng his beard. With firey anger, Flying Dutchman curses them – and turns them into ghosts! The Flying Dutchman tells them that the curse wil be broken when his beard grows back... in 1,000 years! SpongeBob and Patrick decide to go with their life as normal as ghosts. However, they have disadvantages. First, they can't scare Squidward (for no apparent reason). Second, SpongeBob can't sleep on his house's top floor. Third, Patrick can see through his eyelids, making him wide awake, and finally, SpongeBob is unable to cook Krabby Patties at the Krusty Krab. He breaks Spat in anger and Spat's ghost rises up. Soon, they turn to the Flying Dutchman begging to become normal again, but he says that if they help him prepare for his date with a beard, the curse will be broken in a few months. After several attempts, SpongeBob poses as the Flying Dutchman's beard. Several months later, SpongeBob and Patrick return to normal, and the Flying Dutchman's beard is back. The Flying Dutchman comes to SpongeBob and Patrick, saying his girlfriend wants to be married and he hates the marryin' times. At the end of the episode, the Flying Dutchman's girlfriend is seen as he runs away from her.
