How does a scaredy-cat dog, afraid of ghosts become a mystery-solving ghost, boogeyman, and villain hunter? It all started with Frank Sinatra's 1966 song "Strangers in the Night" which closes with a cutesy catchphrase that inspired the name of an equally scaredy-cat ghost-hunting canine. Sinatra...
