Phantom Investigators was a cool animated TV show that aired on Kids' WB in 2002. It started on May 25th and finished on June 29th. This show was super unique because it mixed different animation styles! It used stop-motion for the main characters and other people in the town. Puppets were used for many of the spooky supernatural creatures the characters met. And live-action footage was used mostly for ghosts!

The show was created by Stephen Holman. He's also known for his work on Joe Normal for MTV's Liquid Television and Life with Loopy for Nickelodeon's KaBlam!.

The story of Phantom Investigators was all about four 12-year-old kids in junior high. Three of them had special supernatural powers. Their group was called The Phantom Investigators, or "P.I." for short. Together, they worked to solve supernatural mysteries happening all over their town. Sometimes, while solving a mystery, they would also figure out a personal problem they were dealing with at the start of the episode.

Characters in the Show

  • Daemona: She's the leader of the group. Daemona doesn't have any special powers herself, but she's smart and guides the team. She was voiced by Courtney Vineys.

  • Casey: He's a boy who can morph, or change, into different things. Andrew Decker was his voice actor.
