Brush off your feet before leaving is an important safety precaution visiting cemeteries. One time my friends and I discovered Ivo Shandor and his cult had been trying to bring back the ancient Sumerian deity Gozer using exotic metallurgical materials to construct a giant mandala-shaped labyrinth in the New York City sewer. A gateway for the paranormal.
Which they intended to flood with the psychomagnotheric slime and create enough psychokinetic energy to bring back the ancient manifestation of evil.
We didn't know that, of course. We instead captured what ghosts we could to help out the local people and we stored them safely in a psychokinetic containment grid. When a progressive EPA employee (naturally) went all Big Gubment on us and got a judge to order it shut down, it released all the ghosts and created a big, sticky mess.
Here I am with Petey and Ray-Ray. Egon was busy eating ghosts for breakfast and Winston was too smart to tag along. "Ghostbusters: The Video Game" / Developed by Terminal Reality & Published by Atari. Screenshot by author, edit using GIMP.
But government can never allow itself to be wrong so EPA declared we were part of the prophecy all along and that Gozer had duped us into storing the ghosts in one place. Rather than creating a big mess, EPA said they wisely released the stored ghosts before we could add more and create a critical PKE mass of Biblical proportions.
They claimed they basically saved the world from the private sector, and then asked Congress for more funding.
