Plot
The series revolves around Mosley "Mo" Moville, a high school student in Ouigee Falls, where the supernatural and strange happen almost every day. Mo loves the supernatural, and loves getting involved with solving the mysteries. Joining him are his friends Tommy "Hitch" Hitchcock and Mimi Valentine. Occasionally, they are joined by local conspiracy theorist Billy "B.B." Boon. The three sometimes don't have anything to do with the plot of the story and instead Mo acts as the narrator.
Characters
- Mosley "Mo" Moville (voiced by Frankie Muniz) is a rather short kid that loves the supernatural. He acts as both the main protagonist and narrator of the series.
- Tommy "Hitch" Hitchcock (voiced by Dan Petronijevic) is Mo's best friend who speaks in stereotypical skater lingo and wears 3-D glasses all the time. Hitch isn't too bright and occasionally gets the team into trouble.
- Mimi Valentine (voiced by Tara Spencer-Nairn) is the lone female of the group and the most level headed. She acts as the voice of reason and loves animals.
- Billy "B.B." Boon (voiced by Cliff Saunders) is the local conspiracy theorist who always believes aliens are involved in some way. He occasionally is right, just not in the way people think.
