Inside the attic of an old home we find a ghost lounging around. The ghost is a boy who's physical appearance appears to be about 14 years old. He has glowing green eyes and messy, snowy white hair. His jumpsuit has a white D logo with a p inside It, and his gloves, boots, and collar are white. The rest of his jumpsuit is black. This ghost boy is known as Danny, Danny Phantom. Poor Danny does not remember much about his past life, just that he was 14 when he died, killed by Tuberculosis, and died 100 years ago.

Danny has lived in the Fentons' home for 100 years, this is because Danny died here and his spirit is bound to the property, he can never leave the property. Jack Fenton is actually Danny's great, great nephew. Danny's last name is also Fenton. This is because Danny's sister Jessica wanted to give her son her last name, Danny recalled as he remembered his sister scolding her son when they came to visit their parents. Danny would watch all activities that occurred in the house by turning invisible.

Danny lives in the attic of the home because he does not want to scare Jack's family in case any of them walked in on Danny hanging out in his old room. Danny kept good tabs on the Fenton family. Jack has a wife named Maddie and they share a seventeen year old daughter, Jazz "Jasmine" Fenton. He has watched the many generations of his family grow up in this home.

Lately the Fentons have been working on a ghost portal. Being the curious type he is, Danny just had to be there when they turned the portal on. Being invisible, he watched from the ceiling of the lab with anticipation. When Jack and Maddy plugged the portal in, it gave out a few sparks but nothing happened. Jack and Maddie had such gloom faces as they walked up the stairs and out of the lab.

Danny decided to check out the inside of the portal, he can't die anyways since he is already dead. As Danny walked inside the portal, he kept a hand along the wall to help guide him. Danny then felt a part of the wall push in. He lifted his hand and was about to laugh at the fact that the "on" button was inside the portal, but he did not get the chance to laugh as his body was engulfed in painful electricity and his vision became black.
