    "Think he had seen a ghost"

    Explanation:

    I am not really sure what they mean by "Mr. Nuttel." It could be a phrase used to describe someone or their actual name. Assuming that it is his actual name, "think he had seen a ghost" contributes most of the humor to the text. It means how someone reacts as if they had seen something really strange or frightening. Maybe the people are really ghosts, or "Mr. Nuttel" is a nickname. I don't have enough information to form a clear opinion.
