Spookane (Halloween in Mother) is a town in EarthBound Beginnings divided by a downtown area (West) and a residential area (East). Upon entrance from the train station, the party finds that enemies walk the streets of the downtown area and that all of its residents are staying outside of their homes which have become haunted. The residential area will not spawn in any enemies and is occupied by most of Spokane’s citizens. However, enemies will spawn once again up the path to the haunted mansion. The fourth melody must be obtained from the Rosemary's House (a key must be obtained from a resident beforehand). Spookane is accessible by train and by PSI Teleport.
While the downtown area of Spookane is largely uninhabited, the hotel south is in operation and being run by a suspicious man with a gray skin tone. After offering a very cheap stay, the hotel operator reveals himself to be a Starman in disguise. Defeating him will make him disappear, rendering the hotel useless.
