GHOST- The series

In the not so distant future, a secret government service (in the US, never in Msia) was formed to monitor ghost activities. The independent team consist of the following members:

1. Holo, team leader, with ancestral ability as a ghost whisperer. Last descendant of an ancient Shaman tribe, he advocates peace between human and ghost. (Future season reveals he's capable of severing his spirit from his body into a ghost state, and back)

2. Beam, newly recruited to the team for his new- found ability to pinpoint a ghost's weakness. Strong believer of science, despise his own ability but struggling to cope. (Future season, he finds out how he gained his ability, when he lost it.)

3. Stellar, her bio field has a ghost- repellent effect, meaning she can never be possessed. Apart from her martial art background, she's a historian specialised in cross- cultural ghost studies. (Future season her ability develops that she can discharge her bio field to cause harm in ghost.)

4. Sage, has an immeasurable IQ and photographic memory, he's the walking information database. Provides backup and comedy to the team, he might be the key to the mysterious 'The Source'. (Future season he became the 'Messenger' from 'The Source')

The team was put together to investigate paranormal activities threatening humans society, they also need to protect some ghost from other ghost, protect ghost from some humans/ wizards that could manipulate ghost, and as usual, protect the weak from the strong.

The government has been hiding their research on ghost from public eyes, especially from religious groups. Field teams are established to collect more data on the unknown, with hope that one day, ghost can drive the scientific breakthrough of mankind.

Along the way there are others parties coming into the fray:

1. Wizards and witches are generally sole proprietors who utilise age- old spells and charms to manipulate certain ghost for their own gain, or to achieve certain task. Fearing the government would complicate their livelihood, they sometimes sabotage the team.

2. Civilian are generally susceptible to ghost's influence, but there are some who posses certain ability, though they could be unable to control it. The special ones would be placed under radar for studies.
3. Ghost is mostly independent, but some old- timers have come together with sinister intentions. Like people, there are good ghost and evil ones. Abilities of ghosts vary from one another, and presumably, all ghosts have a weakness.
4. NGOs also involve in their own studies on ghost, some are terrorists.
5. Religious groups have their own perspectives on ghost; they are not actively participating in the ghost hunt unless called upon by their followers.

It would be like ‘Charmed’, ‘Buffy’, or ‘Angel’, except that here, science is the mainstream in explaining what is ghost. Also a lot of discussions on life, death, afterlife, much like ‘6 Feet Under’.

Each episode would start with a fact line, such as:
1. Man becomes ghost when he dies.
2. Ghost may or may not realise he is dead.
3. Ghost retains all his memories and is at the emotional state when he dies.
4. Ghost can feel and have emotions, though he doesn’t have the necessary neural systems.
5. Ghost exists in a form of energy field, very similar to humans’ bio field. Etc.

And each episode would end with a quote, such as:
1. If you know not living, you know not death. – Confucius.
2. While I thought I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die. – Leonardo Da Vinci. Etc.

Season 1 would be basically introduction to the fictitious world order, characters and their relationships. The team’s standard issue equipment enables interaction with ghost. How they investigate and decide on the best action in the field. Friends and enemies met. At the end of season 1, a cult protagonist instigated a mass suicide, and broadcasting live on You-tube. The team were chasing around the clock to stop this, but failed. The world watched in horror as thousands of people died, and became ghosts.

Season 2 would depict how the society copes with the knowledge of ghost’s existence. Some people treasure life even more, some can’t wait to join the underworld. Religious bodies could not but concur that ghost is true. The world is in chaos, each faction wants to have a say in revamping the world’s order. The team stayed focus on protecting the weak, them be human or ghost. Season end, a mad scientist created a device to extract spirit from human, effectively killing him. How would they stop him?

Season 3 The spirit extraction device can be reversed to reincarnate life, but there are certain limitations. How would people like to experience death, when they know they could come back to life? Can people really be immortal? The device has become the prize, every imaginable human and even ghosts wish to have it. Season end, they make a hard decision to destroy the device, yet somehow, the device has developed a consciousness, declaring itself a life of its own.

Season 4 Some ghost have special ability, like telekinesis, mind reading, human possession, etc. When a handful of people died and came back to life, they too, have gained some super power. The catch is, you may or may not have any super power, and when you die, you may not come back to life. Would people risk it, to have a super power? Can they handle their power? Another endless debate of what people want to do with their lives, and whether or not live is worth living. Season end, scientists have determine that ghost, is actually the theoretic ‘Dark Matter’.
