What happens

Phantom Investigators is an American children's animated series that aired on Kids' WB in 2002, premiering on May 25 and ending on August 17 for 13 episodes. It was created using a special mixture of stop motion (used for the main cast and the other citizens), puppetry (used for many of the supernatural creatures that are encountered), and live-action (used mainly for ghosts). The show was co-created by Stephen Holman, known for his work on Joe Normal for MTV's Liquid Television and Life with Loopy for Nickelodeon's KaBlam! which ran during all the duration, and Josephine T. Huang, known for her work on Bump in the Night and James and the Giant Peach. In 2024, the series became available on the Indoor Recess YouTube channel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
