It's a horror anthology series kinda inspired by the whole LINDA thing from the Dr Who episode Love and Monsters.
Buncha nerds form a paranormal investigation group when they meet on a forum and discover that the weird shit they've been seeing is all happening in the same city.
Pilot episode would be called Case of the Sodden Man:
Bloke gets caught up in traffic on the bus ride home from a late night working. As he looks outta his window he notices a figure in heavy winter clothes dripping with water walk right past the bus turn off into an alley and disappear. Normal stuff if not for the fact that it's a dry summer night, and if the headlights of a car coming to a stop behind the bus didn't show the alley to be a dead end. He thinks nothing of it until weeks later he's out drinking with his mates, and he sees the strange figure again. He calls out to it but it doesn't respond. So he follows. But it's moving faster than it looks like should. Still he it heading for the alley it disappears down before. When our hero arrives at the dead end he finds only a strange wet patch on the wall.
Supernatural events escalate from there, blah blah blah, the building the damp wall is on turns out to've once contained the backdoor an old theater. Blah blah blah, Sodden Man is the lingering spirit of a dead escape artist who died during a botched trick. The protagonist tries to find a way to put his soul to rest, but he stacks shelves at a supermarket so has no fucking clue how to banish ghosts or whatever, so ultimately he gives up. Cue a montage of of him trying to forget about the Sodden Man and get back to living his life interspersed with shots of the damp wall. Until one night he sits bolt upright in his bed walks over to the desk he keeps his computer on and starts searching the internet for advice. Cut to credits.
