Season 1
We begin in 1969 with Winston and Derek Rayne driving in their car, in the rain. They end up at a cave. Winston goes in, while Derek is told to remain in the car. Inside the cave, Winston finds a sepulcher (a wooden box). He opens the sepulcher, and a demon skeleton emerges, which tries to drag Winston back in sepulcher, however, Derek runs in and manages to close the box. The demon is trapped back inside. However, Winston dies, but before he does, he gives Derek his Legacy ring.
Now in the present day, we arrive at the Luna foundation, an artifact finding organization. Derek owns the Luna Foundation, along with Nick, Alex, and Julia, who also live in the house.
As a new artifact is presented to Derek, he gets a vision of a young girl in a graveyard with a wooden box, which looks like the one that Winston opened. Derek assembles Nick, Alex, and Julia in a control room, in which to get to, you must walk through an invisible wall.

They leave their car to find out what is going on only to have Derek pull a gun on them, argue with himself about shooting his friends and then pulls the trigger on himself.

They continue with the investigation that Derek was involved in, in Rose County itself, trying to find out what is causing the large number of suicides that have been occuring around the town.

User Reviews
I'd say it was unique, but Friday the 13th had an equally good series like this based around an antique shop. And, of course, it is like the X-Files and Warehouse 13 and Mellinum...but there are reasons that shows like this are made and develop a cult following. They are almost always really good.
I think the draw back to the show is that it has the title "Poltergeist" and like "Friday the 13th" that kind of set people up for a let down when they realized that it had little to do with the movie franchise.
But, if you accept that it's not based around the film franchise, you can sit down and experience a very entertaining horror show that should have been far more popular.
