The Ghost Hunt anime begins as Mai Taniyama and her friends
stay after school to tell ghost stories. One of them speaks about the
freaky events which occurred in the old abandoned school building next
door. A teacher had commited suicide there and sometimes students
see his ghost at the windows at night. When demolition crew tried to
tear the building down, a section of the roof collapsed on the workers.
Another time, a construction truck suddenly lost control and almost
killed some students nearby. They are interrupted by a handsome man,
Kazuya Shibuya, who wondered what they were doing that late at school.
Kazuya was friendly, but Mai was a bit suspicious of him because he
didn't look like a student and was too young for a teacher.
Curious about the old school building, Mai decides
to go have a peek the next day. She finds a camera inside but is
surpised when a man shouts at her. She knocks over a shelf and would
have been crushed if the man had not pushed her away. At this point,
Kazuya appears and tends to his assistant who suffers an injury while
rescing Mai. He tells Mai that he is from Shibuya Psychic Research
Center and was hired to investigate the paranormal activities in the
old building. Since Mai is responsible for his assistant's accident,
she must now serve as his replacement. They are joined by other
spiritual
professionals including an exorcist, a miko, a monk and a spirit
medium. But after they gather at the old school building, odd things
begin to happen.
