“Working Ogretime!”
    Egon and Peter answer a call of an Ogre report in an Iowa bean field.  They meet their prey, but soon learn the Ogres are the ones who called them to help them deal with another supernatural problem: the Vile, evil spirits that possess ogres and turn them into the beasts of lore!  They’re gonna need to put in some ogretime on this one.

“Winston’s Diary”
    The Ghostbusters wake up to find New York transformed into a medieval fairy tale land.  Egon surmises that Trumm’s Grimoire is at the center of it all.  Now it’s just a matter of navigating the twisted world to find the tome and restore New York to its modern glory.  
“Dead True!”
    A young artist named Shadwell spent the summer in the home of a clergyman and had seen a strange little girl one night.  The clergyman told him about a little girl who once lived there, and after being accused of stealing died the next day after a fit.  The girl he saw was a ghost!

“Ghostbusters II” Part 6
    Five years after the Gozer bust, the Ghostbusters have been shut down for the amount of damage done to the Shandor Building.  Unfortunately, Dana needs their help once again as her baby carriage with her son, Oscar, had taken off down the street by itself.  The Ghostbusters eagerly investigate and tunnel their way through First Avenue to discover a river of slime flowing underneath the streets!
