**Smokin' Joe** is an Apparition who joins the Ghost Master's team at the start of Act I. He was meant to be the main spirit in Field of Nightmares.

## Appearance

Smokin' Joe is a tall caucasian man with pure white eyes with green tint. He wears a standard baseball uniform consisting of a blue shirt with white stripes, a white undershirt, white trousers with blue stripes on the thighs held up by a white belt and white sneakers. The trousers are visibly dirty with dirt from presumably a baseball pitch. Smokin' Joe's face is visibly scars all over it as well as having a few golden teeth. He is also bald which he covers with a blue baseball hat with white stripes.

## Cut Content

Smokin' Joe was supposed to be the main ghost of cut mission Field of Nightmares. He was once a raising baseball star who unfortunately brained himself with his own baseball bat. In death he was trapped on the plot near Hamner's and wanted the plot to be turned into a baseball field. The construction of the baseball field was the main focus of Field of Nigtmares and would be interrupted by many different groups which want to take the land for themselves.

Additionally, Smokin' Joe would have also appeared in Spooky Hollow but it would not be possible to free him, instead Smokin Joe would have served as a teaser for his proper appearance in Field of Nightmares, with lines telling the Ghost Master to "Wait until the season begins".
