There’s Something Weird in the New York Public Library (Again)
And when I say “weird,” I also mean “shockingly low-budget” — three sheet-wearing ghosts invaded the library’s public reading room, one of the locations from the Ghostbusters movie’s opening sequence; luckily, the library staff remembered the answer to “Who Ya Gonna Call?” and the Ghostbusters arrived accordingly. Sure, it may seem like the ghosts were innocently doing research before the Ghostbusters chased them out, but I’m pretty sure that one ghost was looking up dirty words in the dictionary. Thanks to Melefim for the tip.
