What goes THUD in the night?

For three amateur paranormal investigators, it’s a question worth risking their reputations—and occasionally their dignity—to answer.

Led by a wannabe director, followed by an overly trusting cameraman, and hosted by a washed-up television host, their mission is simple:

Make fake ghost investigations look real.

Then a grieving magician named Dave Cadabra reluctantly joins the crew.

Suddenly, doors open by themselves. Shadows refuse to stay put. Haunted locations become genuinely dangerous. And the team discovers there’s a very big difference between staging paranormal activity...

...and accidentally causing it.

As every investigation spirals further beyond explanation, the crew realizes they aren’t just filming the supernatural anymore—they’re becoming part of it. If they can’t uncover the truth behind the hauntings, they may never escape whatever has started following them.

They thought they were chasing ghosts. Someone—or something—has been chasing them all along.
