What do Sherlock Holmes and Scooby Doo have in common Many things, actually, but at the core they both represent the triumph of investigative reasoning over wide-spread superstitions. The basic scenario is this.
A crime is committed.
It appears to be unexplainable except by paranormal instances.
The locals end up buying into this supernatural theory- often scary, terrifying, and ultimately able to ward off further serious curiosity.
Sherlock Holmes and/or Scooby Doo uncover the reality behind the illusion in Wizard of Oz fashion.
Reoccuring moral...no matter how much they try to give you a hokey, far-flung, imaginary, or supernatural reason, if you remain grounded enough and persistent, the truth is often found to be quite earthly.
