While on vacation, we visited a copper mine in British Columbia, just north of Vancouver. We took a guided tour through a tunnel that had been used for transporting the copper out. The tour was designed mostly as a train ride with a bit of walking at the end. The train was broken so we walked along the tracks seeing the sites along the way.

At the end of the line, there was the broken train. The girls looked at it and declared it spooky. Picking up on that, I said it was like a Scooby Doo episode. There'd be a ghost that would start the train moving but in the end, the gang would find out that it was a guy in a mask scaring the tourists away because he wanted the copper to himself.

The guide looked at me funny. Unsure of how much she had heard, I said we were discussing Scooby Doo. As it turned out, she was surprised because they had just finished filming the Scooby Doo II movie there and, hold onto your hats, the plot was like the one I had just described. (Was there any other plot possible?) At the end, I asked, was it a guy in a mask? No, she reported, it was a girl in a mask.
