the only kid in the neighborhood with my

own ghost what's a ghost a ghost is a

strange looking thing from another world

hi guys hi

ghost I just came by to see if there was

any more ghostly activity last night

but this time I'm prepared no ghost will

bother me as long as I wear this what is

that it's to keep evil spirit's way it's

a string of

anchovies

anchovies harod is supposed to be garlic

that does that garlic darn it I spent a

whole hour picking these off of

pizza well it's not a total loss it'll

keep me

away well Jamie I really oh no

Vicky Vicki what are you doing

hovering well do it a little closer to

the ground you know you're not supposed

to do that in front of people come

down I can't I have no control oh

look Vicky what are you doing get down

from

there get down I don't even know how I

up she says she has no control over

herself D can't you do something I

better she stays like that her radiother

thonic generator will rupture her

polynucleotide processor what does that

mean I'll throw up

[Music]

K I'm worried the house is a disaster

area we can't get any sleep and Vicki's

hanging off the wall like a

bat I guess she's off the

wall we just have to figure out what's

causing all of these things that's easy

ghosts I never thought I'd say this but

Jamie might be right I feel like I'm

living in a horror movie yeah the

lawsonville

horror I just fell off the wall on my

head did you put a dent in it no but

there's one in the

Floor come here Vicki let me see honey

we have to look at all these happenings

objectively rationally but I really

think I really think I've just lost a

Sideburn better make a phone call who

you going to call Dad

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Ghostbusters oh this is terrific we got

a ghost in the house not necessarily

Jamie there could be other explanations

for all this phenomena but if it's not a

ghost then why did you call the

University to send over those

parapsychologists I didn't say a ghost

wasn't a possibility I called the

parapsychologist to to investigate

it it must be there uh Vicki would you

go in the kitchen and get the tray of

Refreshments please the tray of

Refreshments help her

[Music]

Jamie did you see that the door opened

and closed by

itself some other reasons

huh maybe it's a BL ghost dis open doors

for

[Laughter]

ladies oh Ted did you see that the

doorbell just RAR by itself there's

nobody

there just a little Spirit humor there

are you Mrs lawsen it's left of well I'm

Dr Fenster from the University and I'm

Dr

Dickens hi hi I'm uh I'm Ted Lawson nice

to meet you how do you do sir listen I

uh I feel a little foolish calling you I

mean I mean I'm a scientist myself

cybernetic engineering but there are

some strange things happening here that

I just can't explain no reason to feel

foolish Mr Lawson some very reliable

people have encounters with psychic

phenomena and some real ding-dongs

too oh oh these are our children Jamie

and Vicky this is Dr Dickens and Dr

fster no no I'm I'm Dickens he's Fenster

now why don't you start by giving us a

little more background on the events

around here oh pictures have uh been

turning themselves upside down and and

Furniture has been all rearranged and

and doors they've just been opening by

themselves and the ghost threw a butcher

knife at dad and tried to turn him into

shishabar well the trick is to determine

if all those happenings are imaginary or

for real

[Music]

I I vote for

[Music]

real now this is a motion detector over

here we have infrared sensors and this

oh don't touch this it's a high-speed

video camera and this is a spill camera

for time-lapse photography and this is a

tone modulation recorder for measuring

Sonic movement now if our instruments

register the presence of a spectral

entity or what you would call a ghost

then we can go about getting rid of it

how do we do that well show it reruns of

Gilligan's

Island not funny Dickens I'm Fenster

you're

Dickens we are now entering the Winer

sanctum of the Haunted Lawson house for

an extra 50 cents you can take a picture

of yourself with a

ghost har

it what do you think you're doing making

a Fast Buck they're paying me a dollar

each to see your haunted house but I

make my big money on the anchoi

necklaces Harriet you Suk to a new low

presence in the room look at these

case of paranormal occurrence there's a

center of activity a particular place or

thing in the house that the ghost

chooses to inhabit turn on the dish now

the center of activity is now everybody

the ghost well how could she make the

knife and all those other things move

last night when she came in to fix the

circuit breaker there was that power

surge she must have gotten Zapped and it

Disturbed her electromagnetic field and
