This show was airing in the early or mid 2000s. The main character(dark hair, glasses, square chin, kinda timid looking) teaches physics at a university. He has a goth(if I remember correcrly) girl assistant. There was also his sceptic (I think) friend, a woman of color with curly hair. Three of them would investigate something paranormal and the guy would hope it is paranormal (I think) but he would always find a scientific explanation. I vividly remember an episode about an allegedly haunted apartment where a rocking chair would start rocking all of a sudden and a kettle would boil without anybody touching it. It turned out to be connected with seismic waves or electric impulses or something. The show's intro had paranormal terms floating on a blue or purple background(kinda x-files style). I've looked through tons of lists but it's nowhere to be found, please help!
