Combination 40a: Occult Detectives
40) GURPS Horror: Beyond the Pale and How to Be a GURPS GM: Ritual Path Magic

When something truly odd happens, the police quietly bring in consultants. The right consultants. People like you, with the gifts to understand what's going on. You've handled strange crimes before, but this is weird even for you. How did they die in such different ways? What motivates these particular creatures? Where did they come from? And when you meet them, will you be ready, or will their unusual nature catch you off guard?

Of all the magic systems you could throw at Horror: Beyond the Pale, (non-adept) RPM is probably the best fit, with the possible exception of book/path magic. It fits the feel, and gives the PC's the tools they need... while still leaving them vulnerable, especially if they are rash or reckles.
