“An Inspectre Calls”
    Ray and Peter arrive on the scene of a call, only to find that a man dressed as a Pilgrim had already taken care of the problem.  He reveals he’s Josiah Ezekial Hopewright who has come to inspect New York and bring peace and Godliness to it.  Ray and Peter are trying to wrap their heads around their new competition…especially when he makes a ghost explode right before their eyes!  Is this powerful preacher their newest ally, their greatest competition, or something far, far worse?

“Down in the Dumps”
    The Ghostbusters are called down to the garbage to deal with some ghost problems.  It turns out that the garbage has somehow come to life and is scaring off the men who work there.  Now, they need to clean up the dump.

“Winston’s Diary”
Wednesday, 3rd August 1988
    The boys get called out to Bangor, Maine to deal with some problems in a neighborhood involving strange happenings within the homes.  They go to investigate but soon find out they may be dealing with one of Maine’s big, bad urban legends!

“Escapeologeist!”
    The boys return home to find their firehouse invaded by Dogs.  Mr. Johnson of the city dog pound tells them about a possible haunting resulting in the dogs getting out from locked cages.  Apparently, an escape artist died in the theater that became the pound performing one of his feats.  Can their gear even hope to hold the Escapeologeist or will he succeed in death where he failed in life?

“Blimey!  It’s Slimer!”
    Slimer takes a nice stroll through the woods, terrorizing some animals in his wake.
