Ghost Parade Event
Description
The Ghost Parade Event is an event concept on the Tower Defense Simulator Wiki. It would reward either Ghost Buster Accelerator and Ghost Minigunner, or 
The event started on October 24th, 2026 at 8:00 UTC and ended on November 23rd, 2026 at 12:00 UTC.
Cash was only gained if an enemy was killed, or in some cases, damaged by a specific amount of health. Additionally, the amount gained was a set amount of cash, which was not always equal to the enemy's health. In solo, you received 100% of the cash when an enemy was killed, or if it was damaged enough. With each additional player, this decreased by 12.5%, which meant that in a quad, you only got 50% of the cash. This amount was distributed between players based on how much damage they dealt. However, if a player did not deal any damage, they would receive 0%. If it was a decimal, it got rounded up or down depending on the decimal value. If it was at least 0.5, it got rounded up. If it was less than 0.5, it got rounded down.
Enemies increase their health by 12.5% with each wave due to the Mutation modifier.
Interestingly, there is no legacy version of this concept.
Design & Path
The Haunted Past takes place at Stage Two of the original map of The Haunted Past, similar to Trick or Threat Town. In the center of the map was a large hill with a statue in the center of it which provided valuable cliff space. The path began at a similar broken down stone gate-arch. The path had changed, with a small turn beginning the path before immediately doubling back to a longer stretch, circling around the center statue and another hill before making a few final turns to the exit. Various lampposts could be found around corners, with fallen trees and rocks decorating the landscape. A large cottage was found near the rear half of the map, and various hills and rockfaces stood out across the path. Various village houses and even a burial house could be found towards the side of the map, with the path terminating at a large communal structure.

Trivia
- The Ghost Parade Event is intentionally similar to Act II of the Lunar Overture Event, and this is shown in many ways.
- Most enemies are from the Lunar Overture Event.
- One of the creator's favorite enemies, Reaper, is the final boss of this event, though renamed to Grim Reaper.
- The event map chosen is the exact same map as the map chosen in Act II, being The Haunted Past.
- Waves are not skippable, similar to Act II.
- Ghost Buster Accelerator can be rewarded upon triumph, which was also obtainable during the Lunar Overture Event.
- This event does not have any dialogue.
- This is intentional, as the creator believes it'd make the event look too janky and too disorienting, just like the Flying Fiends Event.
