History

Kat was a lonely teenager who lost her mother, and has a widower father: Dr. James Harvey who a ghost therapist, who contacts with the spirits and help them cross through the other dimension. Unfortunately, this creates problems for Kat as she and her father has been moving around the country causing her not to have a normal life like most teenagers her age. After being discovered on the News by Casper who falls for her, he indirectly draws the News to Carrigan which leading her into hiring Harvey, so he get the ghosts out to collect the treasure hidden in the Whipstaff Mansion

When Kat and Dr. Harvey arrived, they were unintentionally scared off by Casper, so he have Kat locked in a closet for safety as he fights with the Ghostly Trio and have them vaccumed. The next morning Kat was walking around with a small vaccum, if she sees any ghost. She went inside the kitchen and meet Casper. As she was about the scream, Casper wrapped himself around her face, to let him know that he is friendly and that she with wake his uncles if she scream.

She sat down on the dining table as Casper prepares her breakfast. Dr. Harvey join her as they were confronted by the Trio. Kat then argued a bit with the leader Stretch until Harvey intervine, as she was getting ready for school.

At school she was being made fun of by the students especially by her soon to be rival Amber Whitmire, by her name, she then had everyone be invited to her house for a Halloween party. Back at home, she was asked by her crush Vic DePhilippi to be her date at the dance and agree much to Casper's depression. However, it was a plan set up by Amber that she has yet to figure out.

Casper does what he can to impress her, but she kept on brushing him off because he is ghost. Casper took her to the light house where they see the ocean. She asked him about his past, but he couldn't remember. Later in bed, Kat began explaining Casper about her mother and how she remembers the good times she had with her and wonders if her mother would forget about her as well.

The next morning, Kat went into an old attic and found a box that was filled with Casper's old stuff and redecorate the attic. When Casper woke up, she gave him a little tour of his old toys and a hand print of his human self making him realize that he has five fingers in each hand. After remembering everything, Casper gave Kat a dress his mother use to wear as Kat decided to use it for the party. He also showed her a sled, which explains his tragic death in that he has suffered a pneumonia attack after a sledding accident. Kat wonders what it was like to die to which Casper explained like being born, but only backwards, and that he didn't go where he was suppose to go, so he stay behind, so his father wouldn't be lonely. They both saw a news paper saying that J.T. McFadden was haunted by the ghost of his dead son and invented a machine to bring him back to life called the Lazarus.

Casper took Kat to the machine as they were being followed by Carrigan and Dibs. Casper had given Kat experience with his father's invention, one in particular is called the Up and At'em Machine. Inside the lab, Casper showed her around.
