In the montage in part two, is there a different version of the regular [ghost trap](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/ghost-trap) used to catch the Jogging Spectre? It looks like a much thinner version of the standard trap but I was just wondering. I did a basic search on the topic so I apologize if it’s been discussed ad nausem before but my curiosity is peeked.

Is it just a trick of the camera angle or something? If not has anyone ever constructed a thin trap like in the montage? Intriguing because it’s only seen once in the film and never again (as far as I know).

Here’s a direct link to the trap in question. What’s the consensus on it? It’s at the 1:08 mark of the video.

… Holy Christ I’m dumb. \<\_\<

I don’t know how I did not see that. Must have been the YT resolution. But yeah, that’s what it is. For some reason I was thinking that was concrete it was on but it’s clearly a dirt path in the park.

Duh, never mind me.

Seems as good a place as any to ask if anyone knows the deal with that neat laser trap setup in the Jewelry store scene in the montage.
