Description: Shadow Chasers features strait-laced British anthropologist Jonathan MacKensie, who works for the fictional Georgetown Institute Paranormal Research Unit (PRU). In the pilot, MacKensie's department head, Dr. Julianna Moorhouse, withholds a research grant to force him into investigating a supposed "haunting" involving a teenage boy. He is paired with flamboyant reporter and popular author Edgar "Benny" Benedek to reduce the length of the investigation.
