English version of "Duch z wyspy", adapted by
Anne Wood of the production company FilmFair, was shortened and re-edited to a ~5 minute episode titled "Island Ghost". It was originally broadcast in the UK in 1983 (as episode 45) on "Children's ITV" (on Central Independent Television). Missing from the UK version:
- The opening shot of the Moominhouse in the middle of the night with the owl flying to the tree, and a shot of the window; Moominmamma coming to the room with the lamp; Moominmamma bringing some cakes to the table, and Moominpappa putting his glasses and opening the book.
- The young Moominpappa renovating the rowing house and painting the stairs; a close-up of the Mymble's Daughter, a wider shot of the group when Moominpappa is starting his speech, a shot of Moominpappa, and another close-up of the Mymble's Daughter (with the Joxter on the background).
- At night, shots of the bat flying next to a young Moominpappa; Moominpappa seeing the ghost, closing the door and going under the bed; the ghost going to the stairs; the ghost inside the house for the first time and Moominpappa covering his eyes; Moominpappa going to the door while the ghost leaves via the stairs, and Moominpappa watching as the ghost disappears.
- The young Moominpappa bringing tableware and a tablecloth to the table; Moominpappa going to the rocks to howl; the group watching the flying ghost, and the Mymble's Daughter getting a cup from the table.
- In the following day, the young Moominpappa and his friends inside the house, and Moominpappa looking out the window; after Hodgkins has arrived, a shot of the group, the ghost rattling his chains behind the rock, and a close-up of the scared Muddler; Hodgkins showing a few new scaring tricks to the ghost, and the happy ghost dancing.
- Back in the Moominhouse, the last shots of the bird flying in the morning.
