If you are new to the Moomins, this video essay is a fantastic starting point to learn about this family-owned franchise.

I vaguely remember this scene from my childhood, and can't remember anything else about it. Does anyone remember what episode this is?
If this is against the rules, please let me know (feel free to delete the post), so I know not to do it again, and accept my apology : /
My first thought was the two part story about the lighthouse that the family temporarily moves into, where they encounter a ghost (and a ghost ship).
These are episodes 25 and 26. The ghost is similar in appearance, but it isn't the one.
Then I thought this might be a scene from the first house moominpappa built in his youth. The vibe in that house was a lot like the lighthouse.
This was correct. The scene is from the third episode about Moominpappas youth, or episode 68.
The scene occurs at 9:30. Pappa and the gang aren't scared of the ghost, so he essentially became Pappas roommate. The ghost takes up knitting, since he can't seem to scare anyone.
That's it!! Yay! Thank you!!
You're welcome! And posting this kind of thing is absolutely fine.
It's all in appreciation of this wonderful world Jansson created.
A wonderful world created that, if analyzed and modeled, will create, itself, a wonderful world. I have long dreamt, since I was a youngling, of living in Moomin Valley.
I'll need to do some looking up.
