Figure out what’s causing the mysterious deaths and stop it. The Podcaster extraordinaire Gary Runcorn. The International surf legend and ghost of twenty eight years, Trystan Retallack. Gary Runcorn is a boring man. Even his name is boring. He presents Britain’s dullest, and unsurprisingly, most unsuccessful true crime podcast, and he’d do just about anything to increase his listener numbers. Including dying for them. When the opportunity to work for an infamous paranormal hunting team The ExorSquad arises, Gary grabs it with both hands in the hopes of uncovering an exclusive mystery or two for his radio show. He soon finds himself in the cliffside location of Cornwall’s most haunted hotel and the presence of The Paragon Phantom, but Gary never expected that on his first night he himself would fall victim to this gruesome unsolved mystery. With the help of the hotel’s spectral residents, including one very charming local surfer dude Trystan, Gary sets up his new studio and endeavours to solve his own homicide, live on air.

Clawson & Stoker Land Development Group, Cockfosters, London Borough of Enfield. An incomplete build, Plot 47 is a shell of steel supports and reinforced concrete. Following numerous reports of thundering strong enough to shake the ground, deep and resonant bellows, heavy snort-like vocalisations, an intense burning smell, sightings of a ghostly figure, a short but vicious string of work-related injuries, and the recent death of a foreman, workmen now consider it cursed and have downed tools. A swift and discrete resolution. Bonus offered. The ExorSquad Hollis Nachtmann (Tech Support), Theo Irving (New Recruit). The Theo. He can do as he’s told, he just prefers not to.

Number of ghosts: It’s anyone’s guess, really. Location: The village of Ballycorven in West Kerry, Ireland. History: Long and bloody. Full of fire, covert poisonings, plague, and various mysterious deaths since its construction in 1219. Wanted: Get the ghosts under control by October 31st for the grand opening of Céad Míle Fáilte Medieval Dining Experience inside the renovated castle, “Where the Mead Flows, the Bards Roar, and Everyone’s a Lord (for the Evening). ”. The Expert: Rafferty O’Meara, formerly Kerry hurling’s star midfielder. The Complication: Eric James Crawford. Ghost, American, tourist. Chaotic Good Boy who’s about to rearrange Raff’s world as they try to figure out just how Eric really died. Rafferty O’Meara has somehow survived six months of working for the ExorSquad—the UK’s least reputable ghost removal service—after a career-ending injury took him away from the sport he loved, hurling. Living out of his van on little pay, Raff has already seen his fill of haunted pubs, soggy bog brides, and endlessly chanting monks when he gets called to his biggest assignment Ardruin Castle, a crumbling estate in west Kerry, Ireland. The ancient building’s ambitious new owners have been trying to renovate the place for months, but there’s always some catastrophe pushing back the grand opening, because the place is undeniably haunted. Enter ExorSquad—or rather, Raff. He’s on his own to remove the castle’s many ghosts so the new tourist attraction can open to guests the week after Halloween. Well, not entirely on his own. The hot, smug ghost of an American tourist who loves D&D turns out to be helpful in learning about and managing the other ghosts. Plus, Eric is easy to talk to. Easy to trust. And…Raff isn’t sure he can be the one to move him on. Not when he’s forming an unearthly attachment that feels a lot like love. He’s also not sure he can protect Eric or the castle’s other ghosts—who, despite their quirks, aren’t all that bad—from the more sinister presence that’s doing its best to avoid him. Something powerful and ancient, an entity that might have murdered Eric and now wants Raff’s heart—literally.
