if there is one thing that could be considered ‘stereotypical’ of a ghost, it’s that they prefer the night. and, though casper does typically go against any sort of stereotype, it’s the same for him. it’s not that he isn’t a morning person, but the concept is just foreign to him nowadays. being a ghost, they aren’t bound by time as humanity is. but he finds himself more active in the later hours of the day.

it might also be because of his childhood. as a human boy, he did not like the mornings much because it just wasn’t safe for a small black kid as himself. he didn’t like to go outside, out of fear of what could have happened to him. it was the early 1950s when he was a pre-teen. the civil rights movement was in it’s beginning stages ; no one was fighting those with his skin tone. it was better for those like him to play within their homes at night time than to risk being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

now, as a ghost, he isn’t against going out in the early hours of the day. especially in this newer climate, but he doesn’t forget the past so he tends to keep to the afternoon & onwards when he can.
