Well, the event was bad, but the Doctor's finding out that it's not as bad now that he's effectively shuffled off the mortal coil.
It's all a bit strange, this business of traveling to Oregon, but it's also very historical, at least to an extent, and if there's anything that interests the Doctor, it's history. Of course, this is maybe a bit too historical, because having to ford rivers and hunt oxen and buffalo really wasn't what the Doctor signed up for.
Actually, no one signed up for it, but that just proves the point, in a way. Either way, the Doctor's just floating around from place to place, enjoying his newfound ghostliness, and that's when he happens to spot Martha off by herself in the back of a wagon.
Of course, this might come as a bit of a shock to her, because he's not usually see-through nor floating, but that thought is quickly squashed beneath other thoughts about how amusing it might be to surprise her. And, well, her reaction doesn't fail to disappoint.
The Doctor just laughs when Martha yelps and then glares. "Oh, sorry, must've forgotten to get my hands on some chains. That would've announced my approach, wouldn't it?" Well, that and moaning like a proper specter. "But really, Martha, it's not as though ghosts are very loud when they're moving." Maybe obtaining some chains is a good idea after all.
