:Woah nice find. Scheme checks out too... seems the only differences I can spot is a delay of one turn instead of two and an extra teleport.

History
Strangely enough, I found a Ghost Knocking scheme here, which's last modification dates back to 2000, but still, I can't really figure out if the date is authentic or not. I'd say its worth a check, as it would make Ghost Knocking a very old scheme. Balee 00:43, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
