Having exposed a group of fraudulent spiritualists, investigative journalist Joanna Cross is intrigued by the claims of psychologist Dr. Sam Towne that paranormal phenomena do exist. Accepting his challenge to join an experiment to 'create' a ghost, Joanne, Sam and six volunteers bring to life 'Adam Wyatt', a young American living in France after the American War of Independence, He dies tragically in the French Revolution. The experiment is a great success, with poltergeist activity and disembodied messages, all scientifically recorded. Sam's theory seems to be conclusive - ghosts are created by the people who see them. But a series of inexplicable and ominous events force Joanna and Sam to realise that the ghost they have brought to life can also cause death.
