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.
