wait does an icon actually show on the map in that location when theres a NPC there or a pumpkin spawned there O.o

No it's just an image made on paint lol  

For me, sometimes the ghosts candy disappears when it hasn't been taken yet. This seems to only be for me because people still huddle around it to get the candy and eventually someone does.

I think that happens to everyone, cause it does for me as well. It obviously has to do with the lag, and the one way I've figured out how to avoid it is to catch the candy as SOON as you see the ghost on your screen. The longer it floats around, the less accurate its position is. You could also wait til it fades and returns, because that resets it to its true position, if that makes sense.

In other words, I think the ghosts are moving faster on your screen (clientside) than it is on the server, so although it looks like you caught the candy on your screen, it actually still has it. Just my guess though

I get what you're saying.. I will try that. The thing is that the candy only disappears when I try to catch it, and it seems to be an accurate hit because it freezes me as if I caught it, except it didn't add it to my total, or anything that would consist of me catching it. Not sure.
