Puzzle No. 29: Scavenger Haunt

Scavenger Haunt

By teamcrazymatt
Seven ghosts have hidden somewhere in this grid, transforming seven answers into different English words while changing the enumerations to match. The definitions of the new words are hidden as extraneous parts (one to three words) of seven other clues. Find the spooks and solve the grid, and the unclued entry at 34 Across will tell you if it is safe to leave. Happy Halloween!
