The phantom was the disguise of Ruby and Trudy Lutz.

Physical appearance[]

Although it was initially believed to have been only one phantom, because the plan has two perpetrators, there are two phantoms, though they never appear together.

The phantoms were wraiths wearing a tattered hooded robes, which had been made fluorescent using sodium maldehyde, a substance made green at low, humid temperatures. Their faces were darkened except for red eyes and mouth, and had skeletal hands.

Personality[]

The phantoms do not speak, only creating demonic laughs as they chased their victims.

Powers and abilities[]

  • Flight: The phantoms had the power to levitate and fly into the air. In reality, this was staged using hooks attached to the ceiling, which allowed the phantoms to fly from the ceiling.

Ruby and Trudy Lutz unmasked

Ruby and Trudy Lutz unmasked.

Ruby and Trudy Lutz used the phantom costumes to scare the other heirs away so that they would give up their inheritance from Colonel Lutz. Dying their cloaks green using sodium maldehyde, their first attack was against their cousin, Cal Lutz, who immediately fled the mansion.

The phantoms proceeded to kidnap or scare away the other heirs so that the twins would receive all of the inheritance. When Mystery Inc. began to investigate the phantoms, the twins faked Ruby's disappearance to ward suspicion off Trudy.

They were caught after diving through a painting, falling onto the front steps, and being crushed by a portrait of Colonel Lutz. After they were captured and their identities were revealed, they were removed from Colonel Lutz's will and handed over to the authorities.
