FAQ

We get all kinds of questions in our travels, but we spend a lot of time answering the same ones.  So here are some of the questions we get the most.

Q: Do you really bust ghosts?
A: We really are paranormal investigators.  “Busting” or “catching” ghosts are somewhat inaccurate terms.  We scientifically establish paranormal activity.

Q: Are you messing with me?  You’re actual paranormal investigators?!
A: No and yes, in that order.

Q: Just like Ghost Hunters/Ghost Hunters International/Ghost Adventures/Paranormal State?
A: Not exactly.  Those are television shows that are sensationalized for ratings.  There’s a lot of things that are created for ratings.  So they aren’t as real as the networks would have you believe.  Paranormal investigations in real life are a little…less exciting…than what you see on TV.  We relate it to the TV show COPS.  On COPS you get to see the most exciting 30 minutes of several 9 hour shifts.  Same thing with paranormal investigation shows, you get to see the most exciting 60 minutes pasted together from a week-long investigation.

Q: Where is Slimer/Winston/Egon?
A: He’s back at the firehouse.

Q: What do your packs shoot?
A: Positively charged ions.

Q: Can you shoot something?
A: No.  Aside from the fact that our packs are locked out and by discharging them we would incur a number of federal, state, county, and city fines, these packs are not toys.  Did you not watch the movie?

Q: What are the Cheese Its for?  Are they for catching ghosts?
A: No.  They are for snacking.  Watch the first movie, the scene where Dana Barrett visits the firehouse.

Q: Where is the Marshmallow man?
A: He got blown up.  You should probably go back and watch the movie.

Q: Is that car real?
A: Yes.

Q: Is that the car from the movie?
A: Thank you for the compliment, but no.  Our Ecto-1 is a recreation.  The original Ecto-1 lives at Cinema Vehicle Services in North Hollywood, California.

Q: How did you get Ecto-1 here?
A: We drove it.

Q: You actually drive it?
A: Yes.

Q: Where did you get the car?
A: The car came out of a barn in Pennsylvania.  We built the rest.

Q: You built all that?
A: Yes.

Q: Does all that equipment in the car work?  What does it do?
A: Yes, all the equipment in the car works.  Most of the equipment is sensor equipment for a wide array of paranormal related fields and bands.  Ecto-1 is a big mobile sensor for paranormal activity.  Sort of like a paranormal investigation mobile command center.

Q: What’s the gas mileage on Ecto?
A: About 8 or 9 miles in the city, around 15 to 18 on the highway.

Q: Can I drive Ecto-1?
A: No.

Q:  Who ya gonna call?
A: No one.  We’re already here.  The better question is Who are you gonna call?!
