I guess we could take it to YKTTW to trawl for examples if there's a volunteer to watch it.
Rhymes with "Protracted."
It really should have examples as it's the genre that Ghost Hunters and the like belong to.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick

Add Series.Friday The Thirteenth , as well. The heirs of an antique dealer discover that he was selling cursed items and travel around trying to find them all.
We don't have a page for that? Shame that I don't remember it better.
Then there's Scooby Doo: it was the whole premise of the show.
Many of the Cthulhu Mythos stories start with this — a scholar or academic type investigating a legend or occult artifact.
Sherlock Holmes: The Hound Of The Baskervilles.
The standard plot of the "Carnacki" stories by William Hope Hodgson, a contemporary of Conan Doyle.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
I moved some of the examples in the description to an example list and added one or two of my own.

It's under Friday The13th The Series, its actual official title. A little unwieldy, but hey, I never minded, personally. (One of my favorite shows, BTW. :))

Ah, good. I'm glad we've got a page on it. I enjoyed it, as much as I enjoyed any horror-type show. 
Which isn't saying much, but at least I didn't leave the room when it was on...

I hate it when I have to watch a show from under the blanket.
Posted the examples listed here and see that there are others. It is beginning to look like a page and not a stub.
Zzzzzzzzzz
I read a lot while it was on.
Would this include your genre of "supernatural P.I." along the Dresden Files mold?
-and did they end up retrieving less and less of the cursed antiques in later seasons?
The article has 28 examples and is related to 35 pages. Can we shut this down now. I'll let one of the other mods pull the trigger.
There are a couple written into the description that can be moved to an example list and I am sure there must be more out there. Anyone?
