About this list

Parapsychologists with clipboards, married demonologists, ghost-hunting TV crews with night-vision cameras: horror has always loved the people who walk toward the haunting on purpose. Sometimes they find proof. Sometimes the house finds them. This is a list for films where the protagonists investigate the supernatural as their work or their obsession.
