Science and magic, though vastly different from each other, both represent a fundamental facet of pony civilization. The supernatural, however, is easily regarded as fiction. In all of the tomes and scrolls of Equestrian history, there has never been any evidence that has proved the existence of things like clairvoyance, extrasensory perception, or even ghosts and apparitions. At least, none that have been recorded. When a strange incident at the Canterlot Archives occurs involving floating books and a white flash of light, Princess Twilight Sparkle volunteers to investigate after the authorities are baffled. Unfortunately, her initial findings are ignored and scorned. She vehemently believes that the incident was the work of a ghost. Refusing to back down, she formally establishes the Paranormal Research and Containment Committee in order to fully understand the nature behind these bizarre incidents.

"Oh come now, Twilight Sparkle. Why don't you just call us what everypony else calls us?"
