    14 x 60 minute episodes

    Ghosts, zombies, grave robbers, and nutty curses filled this obvious but unacknowledged ripoff of the hit comedy movie Ghostbusters (1984).

    The young parapsychology investigators, in this case, were Professor Jonathon MacKensie (Trevor Eve), an anthropologist with the Georgetown Institute of Science, and Benny (Dennis Dugan), a wisecracking reporter for the tabloid The National Register.

    Dictatorial Dr Moorhouse (Nina Foch), who worked in a dark, cluttered cave of an office, sent them off on their missions to neutralise the spirits among us.
