When death is not an end but a pause, what path will a lingering soul choose? In a world where the boundary between life and afterlife blurs, Ghost Hunting Journal draws you into a modern tale of spirits, secrets, and unresolved fates.
When mortals pass, most souls ascend to heaven for reincarnation. Yet some refuse to move on. Bound by lingering attachments, they remain in the world of the living, classified by heaven’s registry as Spirit Permanent Residents (SPR) and more casually known as “Soul Squatters.”
As heaven prioritizes large scale soul recovery and recycling, these unregistered spirits fall into a state of limbo. Most fade quietly into obscurity, but a mischievous few grow stronger and use their powers to interfere with the living, giving rise to ghost stories and urban legends across the city.
Thus, an ancient profession finds new purpose in the modern age: Spirit Agent.
