Mystery Skulls Animated - Ghost 

It’s one of those “watch the entire mystery skulls animation saga” nights

Arthur: "Do I know you?" Lewis: *summons purple hair* Arthur: "oH SHIT"

This isn’t your first time here. Welcome back.

9 years later this still hits the spot

Primary colours find dead secondary colour

Arthur: “A skeleton?” Lewis: *Gets fire hair* Arthur: “LEWIS THE SKELETON?”

10 years later and this feels nostalgic. I was 15 when this first came out. Time flies man

I think what’s interesting about this whole storyline is that Arthur is not jealous that Vivi and Lewis are together because he wants Vivi or Lewis. He’s jealous because he wants something like that and feels like a third wheel constantly. I like that the animators did that rather than another toxic love triangle because it does make all characters likeable

remember when in 2014 literally everyone in the world collectively went batshit crazy when this epic video dropped.......wild times

Shaggy straight up murders Fred after he becomes the bait for traps too many times, 2014 colorised.

It's hard to believe that this is going to turn into a decade long video in just a few months time.

I’d never noticed this little detail: when the castle comes alive and the ghosts appear, Vivi is very excited, until the deadbeats become menacing.

2:12 Lewis: *grows hair* Arthur: *terrified*

and we're all still visiting back on this series in 2020 i love that

This music video is more faithful to the Scooby Doo franchise than the entirety of the "Velma" show

2:18 it took me so long to realize how his arms bends compared to his robotic arm, extremely nice touch

Lewis: *stands there* Arthur: uh ok Lewis: *grows hair* Arthur: HOLY-

These people need to get their car fixed. Seriously like every episode begins with their car breaking down

2024 watchers anyone?

I can’t believe this video is turning ten years old this year.

POV: You just came from watching “The Future” MV and now you’re watching the whole saga again

This is Scooby-Doo but with very different music and Shaggy fucking murders Freddy and he tries to get revenge as a skeleton ghost thingy.

Coming back to this again just to enjoy the insane storytelling despite no words actually TELLING a story. you can understand everything that happens over the course of the video, just. absolutely stunning

forever a childhood classic of mine

I can’t believe it’s been over 5 years, I feel old

Cartoon Logic: Gravity doesn't work until you look down.

I was here when I was 16 years old, now I'm 25 and I still don't know how this will end

It's interesting to note that at the beginning, we see the trio of Arthur, Vivi and Mystery all happy with wherever it is that they're going. Meanwhile, when we see the flashback to when our ghosty friend was alive, Arthur looks more dejected than anything. His arm only started possessing him during the cave, but the colorization was green as it took control...such as green with envy. I don't think Arthur was wanting Vivi to himself or anything, but maybe he was envious that Lewis, our ghosty friend, had all that Arthur wanted? He was the leader, had a girl he loved and a goal in life while Arthur was in the background unable to get into the front seats. He had taken Lewis' place in the van, being part of the foreground whereas before, he was merely in the background barely able to be seen behind the others. Maybe he felt there just wasn't room for himself in the gang unsure of what to do?

Basically Scooby-Doo, except Daphne and Velma merged into one person, who is mainly blue, and also Shaggy brutally murdered Fred after being possessed by a demon, and Scooby is an ultra-powerful magic dog.

These guys are like the unofficial mascots of Mystery Skulls now Mystery Skulls should make em’ their mascots!

its been like 9 years and i still love this

The year is 2022, this animation is like, 8 years old already, and it still doesn't get the recognition it deserves; it has so much heart and depth packed into what looks like a child's scribble. This has the same breath of maturity hiding behind an innocent style that made the original "gold age" Cartoon Network cartoons so great and memorable. It's a shame something with so much soul like this is getting "lost in time".

i like how through this whole thing they were bouncing to the music

**lip smacking** hm. **more smacking** tastes like.. *nostalgia*

I can't believe this gem turns 10 this October. It's been a hell of a ride since then.

My childhood friend passed away last month. this was one of his favourite songs, he would always play this while walking to school or when we’d play on our tablets together😔. Miss you Tyson

I literally just searched "pink ghost man singing owowowowowo ah" and it worked

Arthur: *Exists* Demons: “It’s free real estate.”

Welcome again! I know this isn't the first nor the last time you watch this

Gotta go back to this series after seeing Mystery Skulls in concert gahhhhhh I love this so much

''Ghost'' is lowkey a RU-vid Classic. They did such a good job telling a whole narrative in under 5 minutes. Ugh I love Mystery Skulls so much.

"Like, Scoob. This Arthur guy is stealing my vibe, man."

i swear- every year since this came out >skeleton with pink hair pops to mind >scours whole favorites list >googling >googling >googling >finally finds the same thing again & foavorites > wait a year and repeat why does this come to mind so sparsely despite being such a bop and WHY does youtube decide to remove it constantly? its the same account ive been rolling on for a whiiile

Revisting my childhood is crazy dawg

The ending the the story's gonna be better than endgame

"Shaggy, Scooby you two explore the caves beneath the manor. Daphne, Velma and I will take the bedroom."

I’m so glad I saw this, literally life changing bro.

ok everybody talks about the music video and the animation itself (which i know is legendary) but can we appreciate the mixing on the song? love the synths so much and the nu disco nature of this song.

Rewatching this now that Hellbent is out... Man I've missed these guys hahaha

Lewis : grows hair Arthur : HOLY SHIT

It's Ben 9 years since this came out I feel like an old man💀💀💀

I WAS SO INVESTED IN THIS SERIES YEARS AGO AND THEY'RE ANIMATING THE LAST(?) ONE SOON!!! SO EXCITED!!

It took me too long to realize Vivi SAW Lewis die, so the whole glowy eye thing at 3:12 is him making her forget... Which is why Freaking Out shows that they've been searching for Lewis this whole time, thinking he's just gone missing

I just can't believe that this series have got 9 years now.

i remember how fascinating i was when i found out about mystery skulls

This brings back so much nostalgia omfgg

Who’s binging before part four ruins our lives tonight?

Who’s here for the hype of the next one dropping in October??

It's insane to me that we used to get such amazingly well animated videos almost a decade ago. I wonder what happened...

HOLY CRAP?!! THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD !!!!!!

1:26 This just occurred to me. What if the mirror's are showing us what's real? It's the mirror's truth. Vivi has been blinded by lies. Arthur's arm isn't real. Mystery's true form is too powerful for the mirror to reflect. I just love that scene. It's really well done.

Wow the fandom just appeared overnight

Going to their concert for this album so we gotta revisit the classics 😤

Waiting literal years for these updates is so worth it

3:14 the human part of arthur is crying, I’ve seen this video tons of times and this is my first time seeing that. We know that he didn’t mean to push Lewis, and that it was a demon esc thing that possessed his left side which pushed Lewis off. Every time I see this I learn more, this series is amazing

Can we just appreciate the fact that like.. This song singlehandedly launched an entire universe of mysterious lore upon us that's still being expanded upon to this day???

Rewatching this makes me think back to when I wasn’t f falling apart as a kid

The fact that this video is turning 10 this year proves we're getting old

Anyone else re-watching Ghost and Freaking Out to prepare themselves for Hellbent that's coming this Saturday?!! xD

It's been 8 years and I just now realize Arthur pokes his head around vivi 3:18

GOD 9 YEARS ALREADY?!! I FEEL OLD!! 😭

I miss the feeling this song gives me that uncertainty of who I am and who I'm supposed to be. Now my subconscious keeps me down but someday someday I'll be free

My biggest question is why am I just now finding out about this instead of 3 years ago?

Rewatching it now that “The Future” is out And seeing this compared to the future... wow the animation got a Big glow during each time it got out, like it is notable that in each one the animation is getting to move more smoothly then the last one, specially on the future. My favorite part would be the fight of Viví Vs shiromori, I really can’t wait for the next video... welp now time to go back to my tomb until the 5th episode is out in 2022. Buh Bye guys.

It's just amazing that this started as a sort of Rhythm Heaven tribute and it made Ben the lead designer for all of Mystery Skulls' music videos...

Happy 10th Anniversary, y’all. :)

I can't believe this is already 2 years old.

Friendship, love, murder, revenge from beyond the grave, this music video has it all. I love it and the song too.

Aint no way people are actually coming back to this 😭

As of Mindnight this will be 8 years old. man time flys. While we might not have our new part of the story till 2023 i'm still so glad that this came to be

i just noticed it was on the radio!

3:31 YOU'RE BLUE NOW. THAT'S MY ATTACK!

Comecei a assistir os clipes à 7 anos, e smp q lembro da existência dessa perfeição, eu volto pra ver tudo novamente

Man….. it’s been 8 years since this released and it’s still catchy and the animation is still really great!

Jesus, I forgot that this was supposed to be Scooby-doo parody with some deeper lore. Just look at how it’s grown!

Took me 6 years to realize one of the paintings was Miles Edgeworth from Ace Attorney-

Yooo! I totally I forgot about this video💀 I used to watch it all the time, in 2018? Or 2016 idk I forgot.💀👍🏼

1 year later and this song will be 10 yeas old congratulations man you should do a remaster of this song

1:55 "fuck, it's you I hate the most"

I keep coming back here to watch this. It's got everything. Buying the album.

this is such a spectacular piece in isolation. the other parts have the groundwork of being part of a set, but this can always be enjoyed by itself and has the strongest theming.

I’m shocked how well this holds up in 2023. Stellar work Ben!

i want to absorb this video into my being

ok theres a lot of controversy about what the story is so im gonna go ahead and give my two cents :0 i've read a lot of stuff on different social media talking about this and i think i got a pretty stable theory arthur (yellow) vivi (blue) ben (red) and lewis (purple) are all a gang that does paranormal research, much like scooby doo. when they enter the green cave, it's haunted by a spirit that possesses Arthur's left arm, and makes him push Lewis into the spikes. in the pan out of the scene, we can see Vivi at the bottom, suggesting she saw lewis die, but doesn't know who pushed him off. Ben was behind arthur when it happened, and saw the whole thing. he tore off arthur's arm, trapping the ghost inside of it, and freeing arthur. the arm was later replaced with a mechanical arm. arthur looks pretty upset in the flashback from the beginning. this could be because he originally didn't like lewis that much, or had feelings for vivi and was jealous. (which could have influenced the possession, and pushed him to kill lewis, though that wasn't his own intention) ben turning into a kitsune in the picture could have been symbolism, or literally. i don't know what it means, but he turned into a kitsune in order to remove arthur's arm. in 1:20, all the characters view the mirrors. this is a hint to all of their mishaps/insecurities about lewis' death. in Vivi's reflection, her eyes are missing. this is because she saw lewis die, but didn't see how he died. In Arthur's reflection, he is missing his arm. this is because, of course, he doesn't have a real, living arm there, and that arm is what was responsible for killing Lewis, but that part of him is gone. with Ben, the mirror shatters completely. this is because he knows how Lewis died, and that Arthur, with the demon, killed him. but it shatters because Ben is unable to tell anyone what really happened. In the end, Lewis sees that his life is gone and there's no way to get it back, and moves on. (He disappears, along with the house.) I think the characters bopping along to the music also symbolizes their connection with the real world, or being "alive". after Lewis died, his spirit stayed, symbolized by the beating gold heart, and was connected by Lewis and Vivi's relationship, which was symbolized by the picture inside the heart. After the heart broke and Vivi was dragged off by Arthur, the connection was severed and after that part the heart, as well as Lewis, never "beated" again, while the others still did. we can also see at 3:12 that the spirit seemed to influence the ghost version of Lewis, Vivi's pain about not knowing what happened (being unable to see) and in the last bit, we can see Arthur holding back his own possessed side while crying, which also says he was really upset about what he did to lewis :0 thats all i got for now lmao

Honestly cant believe this was 10 years ago...

First time watcher here. It’s absolutely as wonderful as I’ve heard it was. Also surprisingly faithful to its inspiration!

The true reason Fred always put Shaggy on the other team when they split up

After The Future came out it's funny how far these characters have developed in just a few songs

Cant believe its already been 8 years

This is only a brilliant Masterpiece
