story about them meeting the first talking ghost
The reason Danny feels so bad about beating people up is she was scold by her mom for hitting a little boy when she was eight.
But it's okay, she will become much more violent and causing more problem later.
And about the ghost, his dead body was wrapped up in a sheet when he was alive, that's how he got the obsession.
He got his conscious back around the time when the portal was open, and then decide to go crazy.

Breakdown/analysis of the old Danny-Vlad body swap nickelodeon comic ¨Bring Back My Body to Me!¨
For those who don't know, Danny Phantom had some comics that got published in the early 2000's in the Nickelodeon magazine. One of them being a comic that involves Danny and Vlad switching bodies written by two writers of the show, Marty Isenberg and Sib Ventress + another writer.
You can find the full comic pages here in the DP Wikia:
https://dannyphantom.fandom.com/wiki/Nickelodeon_Magazine
I'm writing this post to make some commentary of the comic since it haven't seen any post talking about it. It has some things i found funny and others interesting.
The screencaps were taken from the DP Wikia.
Let's start:
Okay, so the first page introduces us to what Danny and Vlad are planning to do in the story. Danny is going to a dance and trying to ask Paulina while Vlad is stealing from the Fright Knight.
For some reason Danny is still trying to get Paulina to pay him attention. I wonder when this comic was intended to take place since Danny's crush for Paulina was something from very early in the series and over time he got over it.
Also why is Vlad in human form in the Ghost World? He later transforms but there isn't any reason for him to be as Masters in here.
Okay, but here is a thing that is inaccurate: Danny doesn't beat Vlad because he is more powerful than him, that rarely happens. Danny usually beats Vlad by either tricking him (Maternal Instincts) or with someone else helping him (Kindred Spirits). I think the only time he does this is in ¨Phantom Planet¨ by freezing Vlad, and that itself is for a minute.
Why Plasmius does have dark pupils in this comic. It's super cursed.
It would have been less of a problem if they were something like white instead of black.
This is an interesting concept to me because i don't recall the series exploring the concept of what happens if a human-ghost hybrid uses powers or amulets that are intended for full ghosts use only. I feel like it is an idea i haven't seen much done in fanfics neither. It opens to the idea of the difference between full ghosts and halfas and how they react to the Ghost World.
I really like this narrator commentary about how ghosts are constanly showing up in Amity Park thanks to the Ghost Fenton Portal being open. The narration is funny in this comic.
I find it funny Danny using the mocking nickname ¨Plas¨ to refer to Plasmius in this panel.
And Danny is so small. His head is the size Plasmius' hand. He is baby ghost size in comparison to others.
Okay, so when the two touch the spirit stealer at the same time their... spirits? get switched. This was a secondary effect that Vlad was warned about by the Fright Knight earlier.
What i don't understand is what gets switched in here. Their consciousness/inner selfs? Their minds?
It is interesting that these are represented in their ghosts forms and not in their human forms too.
From what i can guess is that the spirit stealer may have mixed their ghost halfs in some way since in the next panels their are both seen wearing each half of the amulet. Since it is intended to be a ¨glitch¨ that is how i think it works.
(Insert spiderman pointing meme here)
I kinda like this callback to ¨Splitting Images¨ episode. It is a nice detail that wasn't necessary for what it is a standalone comic but is still cool.
One thing i appreciate in this comic is how you can easily tell who is inside the body by the way they speak and their body language. You can see that Vlad is in Danny's body because of the detailed use of vocabulary that is so specific about Vlad. Or the way he refers to Dash after he pulls a prank on him.
I also appreciate Sam pointing out why Vlad!Danny is wearing half of the amulet. It is weird that Vlad didn't pick up that he was wearing it until now. However, i think it does make sense in the context considering that he changed bodies with a 14 year old.
Okay, i don't know why there is suddenly a timer for this and how the Fright Knight knows about this, unless something like this happened before. I suppose is one of those ¨ghost amulet plot convinience logic¨ things.
By the way, i do like Fright Knight's role in this comic. He is pretty cool in here.
It's weird that Vlad doesn't consider what Danny is telling him here. You would think that he would get suspicious after he saw how he only had half of the amulet and switched bodies with Danny but he doesn't question it too much.
It does make sense to an extent though. Vlad probably believes that it just some trick to make him give his half of the amulet. He would be skeptical of what Danny is telling him.
They only had to put the pieces back together? That easy? Huh, well, okay then.
Go Fright Knight, kick his ass.
While Dash getting scared is fun, i'm not a fan how Danny usually gets in trouble or bad ending in some episodes just because. I kinda could make a a bit of exception in this one since Dash got thrown into baskball ring for something that it wasn't that serious. Still, it something that bothers me.
In all i do enjoy this comic. While it has plot holes from what you can expect from this plot, it has some funny interactions and interesting concepts like amulets having a different effect in halfas. Part of me wonders how interactions with other characters would play out in this scenario, like Vlad!Danny interacting with Jack or Danny!Vlad with Skulker. had the comic been longer.

Clover looked fondly at the photo, unaware of the footsteps behind her.
"Can I help you?" A voice said from behind
Clover turned holding the photo in one hand a ball of ecto fire in the other. She glared at the person for a moment before she recognized them.
“D- How- Sir..” Clover cleared her throat
Vlad looked at Clover, his eyes wide and his mouth hung open.. “Lucky..?” He asked quietly, his voice breaking “You are her? aren't you. You're her ghost…” Tears filled his eyes
“I- um..” She tried but no real words form
“How ironic.. On her death day I'm seeing her ghost..” Vlad rubbed the tears from his eyes well he laughed at the absurdity
