The second most popular documentary-style supernatural reality show on basic cable, the Mystery Gang follows the exploits of a group of teenage and twenty-something "supernatural investigators." Every week, the group gets in their "Mystery Bus" with some hand-held cameras and "ghost-hunting gear" and drives to a new locale to search for ghosts, goblins and television ratings. Generally, they roll into town, set up some equipment in the old mansion or abandoned mine, then sit back and look photogenic, jumping at a noise every so often. While the show became a cult-hit for the mix of personalities, the Blair-Witch style camerawork and the scripted banter, the team has never found anything legitimately supernatural... Until now!
Two weeks ago, the production team for The Mystery Gang got a hot tip of some supernatural activity going on in the seaside town of Darkmist, Massachusetts. Apparently, there had been a rash of strange vanishings, and people reported seeing bizzare sights throughout the town. One man had even been so terrified, he was forced to go to the psych-ward, his mind broken. While the authorities discounted any trouble, Professor John Simpson, who had written to the production team, sounded quite upset and paranoid about the goings on. The rp starts as the Mystery Gang are riding the Mystery Bus into town.
