The Golden Tongs that Doc Orhpeus tries to capture the Japanese Oni Spirit with unsuccessfully in this episode is I believe a homage-nod to the powerful paranormal instrument used in a story during Grant Morrisons's run of his revamped incarnation of the DC comics "DOom PatROl" series( Issue 43, " Anyhow Stories ", http://www.rpi.edu/~bulloj/Doom_Patrol/issue43.html , and Issue 44, "Voices", http://www.rpi.edu/~bulloj/Doom_Patrol/issue44.html ). In the two comics story arc,It is revealed that the Silver Sugar Tongs are really a facet of a higher-dimensional object, used by a evil subsection of the US military to snare ghosts and make them into supernatural agents-soldiers.

now i thought that dr o's tongs looked more like tweezers. in Hellboy's "Box Full of Evil", he finds some demon tongs and they look much more like fireplace tongs. like what you would use to grab something hot and throw it back into the boiling pitch from whence it came.
