Biography
Pamela and her father moved from Clock Town to Ikana Canyon in order for her father to research the ghosts and spirits that haunt the Ikana Valley. They settled in a house at the top of the canyon, which he later turned into the Music Box House. While studying Gibdos, he discovered a song entitled "Farewell to Gibdos," which drives away the mummified creatures in an instant. He programs the music box house to play this melody, effectively keeping Gibdos away from their house.

One day, while continuing his research of Gibdos, he tried to go into the nearby well. He was cursed, which gradually caused him to start deteriorating into a Gibdo. The frightened Pamela shoved him in the closet of the basement, keeping him away from the Gibdos that had begun roaming the outside of her house who believe that her father is one of them. Pamela, in turn, keeps her door locked at all times and refuses to open the door to anyone who tries to enter, thinking that they are Gibdos trying to take her father away.

Link eventually drives away the mummified creatures by restoring the flow of the river, which causes Pamela to unlock the door to her house. He tricks Pamela into leaving her home while he sneaks in and goes into the basement. There, Pamela's father lunges out from the closet in which he was being kept and starts approaching the young hero at a slow pace. Link cleanses his soul by playing the Song of Healing on his ocarina, lifting his curse. Pamela then comes in and embraces her father, who is completely unaware of the events that have taken place. When Link later talks to Pamela, she reveals that she keeps his assistance a secret from her father.

Pamela's father has an extensive knowledge about Gibdos and Garo Robes, and he is happy to explain the background of the monsters; there is no other researcher who can match his wisdom about ghosts. If Link speaks to him while wearing one of the Transformation Masks, his "Ghost Radar" will react fiercely, and he will ask the young hero to stay so that he can research him. He's also interested in studying Tatl, who he claims is more lively than most he's seen, and the Gibdo Mask, which he believes will help him understand the Gibdo life-form itself.

Trivia

 * Anton from looks somewhat similar to Pamela's Father, and both men also wear the same style shirts.
 * If Link gets too close to Pamela's Father while he is approaching or tries to draw his sword, Pamela will throw herself between the two. Her father will then seem to recognize his daughter and will curl into a ball, moaning and clutching his head. This suggests that, at least at this particular point of his transformation, he retains some of his humanity and memories.
 * Inside the closet where Pamela's Father is locked up, a mummified teddy bear with a Gibdo-like face can be seen, as well as a fish skeleton that faintly resembles the Guitar of Waves.
