In a bet to prove whether ghosts or aliens exist, two high schoolers face terrifying paranormal threats, gain superpowers and maybe even fall in love?!
When high schooler Momo, from a family of spirit mediums, first meets her classmate Okarun, an occult geek, they argue—Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts. When it turns out both phenomena are real, Momo awakens a hidden power and Okarun gains the power of a curse. Together, they must challenge the paranormal forces threatening their world.
Momo believes in ghosts. Okarun believes in aliens. To make each other believe what they deny, they head to a spot famous for UFO sightings and a spiritual hotspot.
Momo awakens psychic powers, while Okarun is cursed by Turbo Granny. They evacuate to Momo's house, but a giant alien appears before them.
After Momo's grandmother temporarily suppresses the evil spirit within Okarun, she says that a game of tag may be the key to defeating it for good.
Okarun and Momo arrive at the tunnel to confront Turbo Granny. Just when they think they've won, a giant crab spirit crashes through the wall.
Momo and Okarun’s ordeal with Turbo Granny has brought them closer, but things remain awkward between them. Okarun realizes he still has a problem.

On the way to investigate the Enjoji house, Okarun feels uneasy about Jiji's closeness to Momo but finds himself drawn to his friendly nature.
As Momo fends off an attack in the outdoor hot spring, Okarun and Jiji panic over how to handle the mysterious room. The doorbell rings.
In a bid to free Okarun and Momo from the Mongolian Death Worm’s psychic power, Jiji attempts to carry them to safety but runs into a powerful entity.
Unwilling to leave Jiji behind, Okarun helps Momo escape to the surface. Momo then begins forming a plan to expose the Death Worm to sunlight.
Momo tries to stop the magma, but the Kito family gets in her way. The tsuchinoko shrine priest joins the fray... but so does the possessed Jiji.
