Revealing mistake: Casper is shown tying together the shoelaces of the students in Kat's class. When the bell rings and class ends they all get up and fall down. If you look closely you can see that their shoelaces are not tied together.
Casper (1995)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Brad Silberling
Starring: Bill Pullman, Christina Ricci, Eric Idle, Cathy Moriarty, Chauncey Leopardi, Malachi Pearson, Spencer Vrooman
After Cathy Moriarty's ghost gets Casper's treasure (which turns out to be a baseball mit), she no longer has any unfinished business, and therefore crosses over into the next world. Bill Pullman finally gets a chance to talk to his dead wife. She tells him that Christina Ricci is growing up and that he has to move on after her death and be a good father. Casper gets his wish to dance as a human with Christina Ricci at the Halloween dance, but at the stroke of 10:00 pm, he turns back into a ghost. This freaks everyone out and they run out of the house. Then Bill Pullman, Christina Ricci, Casper, and his three crazy uncles dance to Little Richard's rendition of the Casper the Friendly Ghost theme song.

Kat: In two years I have been to nine different schools, eaten in nine cafeterias. I can't even remember anyone's name.
Trivia: The interior of Whipstaff was built at Universal Studios. Early in production there were several moderate earthquakes in the Los Angeles area and many of the large cracks that appear on the walls, etc. were real.

Answer: The Ghostly Trio were, at the time, playfully teasing James, so Fatso wearing something else instead of what Amelia was seen wearing in the photo, was just a way for them to have some fun at James' expense. At the end of the movie however, they did keep their promise and let James have one final chance to speak to his wife.
Why that specific outfit, though?
Again, to playfully tease James.
