## Synopsis

Secrets of Sulphur Springs (2021-2023) is an American family mystery series created by Tracey Thomson for Disney Channel. Twelve-year-old Griffin Campbell (Preston Oliver) moves with his family into the small town of Sulphur Springs and takes over an abandoned hotel rumored to be haunted by the ghost of a girl who vanished decades ago. He befriends Harper Dunn (Kyliegh Curran), a bright and mystery-obsessed classmate, and together they discover a secret portal that lets them travel back in time. Across three seasons and twenty-seven episodes, the engine is a steady push to find the key to an old unsolved case, with each episode built around a clue, a detour, and a hunt through past and present. Griffin's parents Sarah (Kelly Frye) and Ben (Josh Braaten) and his siblings anchor the family side of the story, while the mystery touches everyone close to the young detectives. The tone is gentle, curious and mildly eerie, with a wistful suburban warmth and a light touch of supernatural dread. Fans of Gravity Falls, Stranger Things and Goosebumps will find resonance in its blend of kid sleuthing, small town secrets and time travel adventure.
