The correct answer is 'soul prospectors'
Maurice told Mulder that he'd gotten experience with all the visitors to the house and noted that they all fell into the same category: "Narcissistic, overzealous, self-righteous egomaniac." He then psychoanalyzed Mulder, getting everything pretty much exactly as it was: "You kindly think of yourself as single-minded but you're prone to obsessive compulsiveness workaholism, antisocialism... Fertile fields for the descent into total wacko breakdown. [...] You've probably convinced yourself you've seen aliens. You know why you think you see the things you do? [...] 'Cause you're a lonely man. A lonely man chasing paramasturbatory illusions that you believe will give your life meaning and significance and which your pathetic social maladjustment makes impossible for you to find elsewhere. You probably consider yourself passionate, serious, misunderstood."
