Deze serie volgt een team van dappere, zij het ietwat arrogante, agenten die gespecialiseerd zijn in het aanpakken van het bovennatuurlijke. Met behulp van geavanceerde technologie en unieke psychische vermogens nemen ze het op tegen spectrale entiteiten en andere paranormale bedreigingen. Elke zaak is een spannend avontuur dat actie, donkere humor en een vleugje mysterie combineert. Zij zijn de laatste verdedigingslinie van de mensheid tegen het spookachtige en het griezelige.
The Carnacki Institute exists to "Do Something" about Ghosts - and agents JC Chance, Melody Chambers, and Happy Jack Palmer will either lay them to rest, send them packing, or kick their nasty ectoplasmic arses with extreme prejudice.Their current assignment: investigate a major haunting deep underground at London's Oxford Circus Tube Station. Difficult - and dangerous - enough without the added interference of a pair of agents from the infamous Crowley Project whose mission is much simpler: eliminate Change, Chambers, and Palmer, whatever the consequences...
The operatives of the Carnacki Institute--J. C. Chance, Melody Chambers and Jack Palmer--are sent into the private research center of one of the biggest drug companies in the world to investigate a distress signal that led to the disappearance of police and a national security team. Original.
Meet the Carnacki Institute's operatives--JC Chance: the team leader, brave, charming, and almost unbearably arrogant; Melody Chambers: the science geek who keeps the antisupernatural equipment running; and Happy Jack Palmer: the terminally gloomy telepath. Their mission: Do Something About Ghosts. Lay them to rest, send them packing, or just kick their nasty ectoplasmic arses... The Ghost Finders are investigating a haunting at the long-abandoned Haybarn Theater, which is being renovated. But work has been thrown off-schedule by the some peculiar and unnatural activities. And after the potentially world-altering recent events of their previous assignment, the team thinks that a haunted theater (aren't they all?) will be a walk in the park. Until they encounter the Phantom of the Haybarn--an ancient evil whose ability to alter reality itself will test the skills, science, and blind luck of the Ghost Finders to the limit.
Seznamte se se zaměstnanci Carnackiho institutu – JC Chance: vedoucí týmu, statečný, šarmantní a až nesnesitelně arogantní; Melody Chambersová: technočarodějka, která udržuje v chodu veškerou jejich nadpřirozenobijeckou výbavu, a Štístko Jack Palmer: děsivě ponurý telepat. Jejich popis práce: udělat NĚCO s duchy, uložit je k věčnému odpočinku, vypudit je, a když to nepůjde po dobrém, tak jim nakopat ty jejich ektoplazmatické zadky.
Jejich nejnovější úkol zavede JC a jeho tým do malé vesničky na venkově, která se pyšní slavnou strašidelnou hospodou. JC se zprvu domnívá, že duchové U Králova erbu jsou spíš městský mýtus než něco, co vyžaduje zásah Hledačů duchů. Ukáže se ale, že jedna z historek má pravdivé jádro: ta o ženě, která v hostinci našla útočiště před neobvyklou bouří, večer odešla na kutě do svého pokoje – a zmizela navždy.
Ta neobvyklá bouře… se patrně hodně podobala té, která začala zuřit venku, sotva Hledači duchů dorazili do hostince.
Členové týmu se pustí do pátrání, ale záhy jsou jeden po druhém nuceni čelit nepříjemným pravdám o sobě, o svých vztazích a strašení jako takovém – pravdám, které by mohly Štístka Jacka popostrčit přes okraj příčetnosti k šílenství, jehož se vždycky bál…
