New description:

 This is an original script bug, which I tested on V1 (German C64) and V2
 (German PC DOS), and it appears in both versions.

 How to set the bug up:
 Get a jar full of radioactive water from the pool, put it into the
 microwave, then wait until Ed starts to move to the kitchen. Turn on the
 microwave, then wait until Ed caught you and open the microwave. The kid
 will die, but then the game enters a confused state, where Ed throws the
 invisible ghost of the kid into the dungeon, where it stays.

 That clearly is a script oversight which does put the game in this
 confused state.

 Two saves in ScummVM are added for V1 German C64 and V2 German PC DOS. Ed
 is already on the way. Turn on the microwave and open it after Ed has
 caught you.

 Edit: The following video shows the effect at 15:51 on the Amiga.
