Ghost Agency – Vol.1: Good Job, Will Moogley!
Will Moogley, the young and reluctant heir to the failing Ghost Agency, is struggling to keep the ghost-placement business afloat. His agency provides ghosts for hauntings, but with few clients and little money, things look bleak.
An unexpected opportunity arises when a luxury hotel chain, Scary Inn, announces plans to renovate an old castle into a haunted hotel for wealthy guests seeking supernatural thrills. Seeing a chance to revive his agency, Will decides to compete for the contract. However, he faces stiff competition from Adam J. Fullerton, the owner of a rival, more professional ghost agency. With the help of his eccentric assistant Tupper and a ragtag group of ghosts, Will devises a bold plan to impress the hotel owners: a mass haunting to showcase his spectral workforce. But things don’t go smoothly—his ghosts are unpredictable, his equipment is unreliable, and his rival will stop at nothing to sabotage him.
In a whirlwind of comedic mishaps, spooky encounters, and clever tricks, Will fights to prove that his agency deserves the job. Along the way, he learns the value of teamwork, persistence, and believing in himself.
