“You don't get explanations in real life. You just get moments that are absolutely, utterly, inexplicably odd.”
A group of native-Magnolian close friends with personalities loosely based on the members of Mystery Incorporated in their mid-to-late 20’s who know there is something odd about their hometown–and they want to be the ones to uncover it. Mystery hunters, conspiracy theorists, scholars of the paranormal–but completely and utterly ordinary; with the exception of one (1) friendly ghost.

THE PRODUCER - Remington Chamberlain
The frantic founder, he’s convinced that Magnolia is being prepared as the site for an alien invasion. Obsessed with uncovering the truth of the town since he saw an apparition in his youth–he runs recklessly into abandoned houses with little care for his own safety. Finds the gang places to check out, drives, and is generally just a cheerleader for the gang. He’s an idiot–but a lovable one, at least.
CO-HOST #1 - Reserved
The rational one, who lays out the straight facts. Think the Shane Medaj of the thing–conspiracies are not real, and there must be some kind of sensible reasoning behind all these strange occurrences–right? So why are they involved in the first place? One reason: the clout. They aspire to fame, but how the hell are you going to get famous when you live in a town like Magnolia? Everyone loves a good ghost story–right?
CO-HOST #2 - Open
Funny and laidback, they have the perfect personality for hosting–any other podcast. Their cowardly nature has them jumping at every little thing, meaning they get all of their information funneled to them through Remy. Why’s that a bad thing? Well, they confidently spew his conspiracy theories on the air, much to the chagrin of the rest of the crew. So what was that strange mist in the woods? Vapor trails, or regular old fog? Don’t expect this podcast to come to a decision.
THE RESEARCHER - Open
Someone on this team needs to have a little brains, and that’s where the researcher comes in. An expert on the paranormal, they try their best to convince the rest of the team that their opinion is the right one–and it usually is, even though they are most often ignored. The one who remembers to bring all of the ghost hunting tools to the jobs. The responsible one, like the person who mans the cameras back in the truck in Phasmophobia.
THE SPOOKY - Reserved
Even the dead want to have a little fun, right? A spirit from a home the crew has investigated in the past who now gets their kicks following them around to make strange things happen. They love hearing the different rationales behind their pranks–and love casually “bumping” into the crew when they are corporeal. Probably watches them while whispering the lyrics “Part of Your World” to themselves.
