The Phantom Shadow, also known as The Green Ghost or The Giggling Green Ghost is a recurring antagonist in the Scooby-Doo franchise. It was originally a persona used by both Cosgood Creeps and Cuthbert Crawls to scare away the other heirs to Colonel Beauregard Sanders' fortune, which would later become it's own character in subsequent adaptations.

Biography[]

Scooby-Doo! Where Are You?[]

The Phantom Shadow first appeared in the Scooby-Doo! Where Are You? episode "A Night Of Fright Is No Delight". There were actually two Phantom Shadows. They were the disguises of two no-good greedy lawyers named Cosgood Creeps and Cuthbert Crawls. The two lawyers wanted the estate of Colonel Beauregard Sanders' will, but had to get the inheritors, including the colonel's relatives and Scooby-Doo, out the mansion so they could have the fortune to themselves. When Scooby and the other heirs arrived to be read the late Col. Sanders' will, it turned out that they would all have to spend the night at his mansion in order to collect their inheritance. Creeps and Crawls then donned their costumes and proceeded to scare off the heirs so they could keep all of the fortune for themselves. After scaring off the other heirs, they placed dummies painted just like them in coffins to make them look like victims. The plan went awry when they went after Scooby. Although Fred Jones' first trap failed to work, they were soon captured and unmasked. After they are arrested, Scooby, being the only heir left on the island, get the entire fortune. However, the fortune turned out to be all in worthless Confederate money, meaning the lawyer's plan would've been for nothing.

Supernatural

Phantom Shadow in Supernatural.

The Phantom Shadow makes it's darkest appearance in the Supernatural crossover with Scooby Doo, Scoobynatural. Sam, Dean, and Castiel use money from a recent job to buy a used TV unaware that it is possessed by a ghost child who imprisons the paranormal hunters inside the TV world and A Night Of Fright Is No Delight. After murdering Cousin Simple, Cosgood Creeps and (possibly) Cuthbert Crawls, the ghost child takes over the mantle of the Phantom Shadow, turning the Shadow into a true ghost and hijacks the entire haunting. In a sharp deviation from the traditional kid friendly nature of Scooby Doo, and in keeping with the darker and more mature tone of Supernatural, instead of scarring off the heirs, the Phantom Shadow murders the heirs in gory fashions. However, the Winchesters, with the help of the Mystery Gang are able to defeat the Phantom Shadow. In order to get the gang back into their normal mood, the Winchesters were able to convince the gang (with the ghost child's help) that the Phantom Shadow was really Cosgood Creeps, who used wires to fly, a projector to make it look like he could walk through walls and that the bodies was just dummies filled with corn syrup. After the gang left, the Winchesters escaped back into the real world.
