Ghost Stories
When nearby construction disturbs a spiritual resting place, its disgruntled denizens do what any supernatural beings would do after a rude awakening: they terrorize the local school. And that means it’s up to a scruffy band of young ghostbusters to expel their satanic schoolmates before everyone gets sent to permanent detention! So join Satsuki, her crybaby brother, the resident class stud, the school nerd and "physical researcher," a born-again beauty, and a resentful, demon-possessed cat in the funniest, scariest school you’ve ever enrolled in.
Episodes
Tonight the Spirits Will Be Resurrected! Amanojaku
Moving to a new town is tough on kids. Nothing is familiar, and with no friends, it can be scary. In Satsuki's case, that last part isn't helped any when she, her little brother, and three kids from school end up in the old schoolhouse, which just so happens to be haunted by ghosts!
A Hand Reaches Out of the Toilet... Akagami Aogami
Something is stinking up the town, and it isn't just urban reconstruction! A ghost has invaded the school's bathrooms, and it's up to Satsuki and the gang to find out how to put it back to sleep. The old book left by Satsuki's mom just might be the ticket.
Raise the Curtains! The Cursed School Arts Festival – Kutabe
The big play is coming up, but the boy in the lead role is scared. He makes a wish for the gymnasium to catch fire--and it does.

Requiem from the Dead – Elise
While in the old schoolhouse, Satsuki hears a haunting melody drifting through the halls. The only trouble is the lack of a pianist! It seems that if Satsuki hears the melody a total of four times, she'll die. The gang saddles up to put the ghostly piano to sleep.
The Bloody Sports Festival – Datto!

People all over town begin acting strangely, but it isn't their fault, as most of them have been replaced by mirror world clones of themselves!

The Corpse that Roams in the Night – Shirotabi
There's a girl in Satsuki's class who is a little off. She tends to the rabbits at the school, whom she says are her only friends. But if that's weird, then it gets only stranger when a dead rabbit shows back up at the pen, alive and well.
The Tunnel with No Exit – Anamaneki
Hajime has a close encounter with a spooky cab, which the rest of the gang doesn't believe. Even when they see it for themselves, it seems like a perfectly normal cab... that is, until the cab driver takes them to a life-draining tunnel!
The Talking Mary Doll! Shadow of Terror
The gang finds a strange doll in the trash. Satsuki prevents Keiichiro from bringing the doll home, but it shows up regardless. And then, late at night, Satsuki gets a phone call from none other than the doll herself! With the doll stalking her relentlessly, how will she ever be rid of it?
The Nurse Who Tells Your Death – Mother's Feelings

The Picture that Swallows People – da Vinci

The Devil's Spell – Rite of Darkness
Satsuki falls in with a bad crowd, or it might be better to say coven. Several girls at her school conspire to cast spells together, and she reluctantly joins in.

The Apartment That Eats People! Nest of Evil Spirits

Terror at Bloodstain Lake! Apparition in the Snow
The gang takes a trip to the mountains to stay at a resort run by Satsuki's cousin Miyuki. However, upon arrival, a young girl tells them that Miyuki is dead. It seems that her ghost still haunts the frozen lake, turning it blood red. But this story might not be as simple as it seems...
Akane of the Broadcasting Room! Voice of the Dead

Farewell, Amanojaku
The entire school is possessed and drawn into the old schoolhouse, all to lure Satsuki and the gang into a trap. Lord Ohma has awoken, and seeks vengence upon Satsuki for her family's past attempts to seal him. In this final confrontation, who will emerge?
