== Characters ==
=== Main ===
* Detective Riley Seahorn - a strangely upbeat and happy yet genius teenage girl who investigates mysteries all over Dead End, claiming to be one of the best detectives in Dead End, usually dragging herself into the bizarre and unnatural, never truly being scared.
* Scruffy - Darla's talking pet dog who was cursed to be able to talk as he often talks about wanting to have adventures although he is forced to join Riley in solving these mysteries.
* Reginald "Reggie" Sampson - a ghost acquainted with Riley who lives inside of her closet as he often steals whatever food she owns as he is sometimes forced to join in the mysteries as well, being quite sarcastic and rude.
=== Supporting ===
* Darla Hardy - Riley's nerdy best friend and an aspiring reporter although she is rather incompetent at her job, trying her best to catch the supernatural but often fails, usually needing Riley's help, although she tries to prove that she is not as bad as a reporter as she thinks she is.
* Detective Anna Quimby - an egotistical yet cowardly teenage girl who also claims to be a detective as she is Riley's friendly rival, occasionally trying to outsmart her and sometimes working with her, as she has quite a bit of ego problems that she claims is hard to control.
* Ludwig Kushner - an eccentric Exorcist who used to be a part of the Church before running away from them as he is friends with Riley, often helping her out whenever she needs help from an Exorcist to deal with ghosts, demons or other supernatural deals.
* Frederick Clay - the chief of Dead End's police department who finds Riley to be way over her head and usually tries to halt her but has no way to figure out what exactly the supernatural is in these cases.
*Rudolph Murphy - the mayor of Dead End who wants to use the supernatural as tourist traps to lure people to Dead End as he usually gets upset at Riley for ruining his schemes to make the town money.
**Celia Roman - Murphy's personal assistant who is his cohort in his schemes to create tourist traps as she can sometimes be over stressed and overworked but is loyal to her employer quite a bit.
=== Antagonists ===
*Madame Jane Lockwood - an elusive female crime lord who is the head of Dead End's criminal underworld, planning many schemes, both supernatural and not, often clashing against Riley, claiming her to be her greatest rival and often scheming to get rid of her as well.
**Russ - an idiotic and literally braindead zombie who works under Jane as he usually tries to help his boss out but usually messes things up in quite the silliest way possible.
*Dryden Scourge - a silly and strange salesman who sells numerous items of magic as he turns out to be a somewhat sinister demonic force, wanting to see humanity go through whatever tricks he plots as his schemes often cross paths with Riley, who he finds to be quite a fascinating young lady.
*The Seamstress - a creepy shadowy woman who uses a cursed sewing kit as it can cause horrific tragedies and sinister scenes as she just wants to cause suffering and chaos, with Riley stopping her schemes in multiple occasions.
*Joseph "Joey" Zuckuss - a greedy ghost who is a compulsive stealer as he often tries to steal riches although he usually gets defeated easily by Riley during her cases, working alone and just being a big greedy hoarder.
