I remember Revelations 6:12... And I looked, and he opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake. And the sun became as black as sack cloth, and the moon became as blood.

CREATURE FEATURE Molly McBartworth aka The Recycling Plant Banshee Dimension of Origin: 68-F Class: IV Audio-Sonic Vaporous Free Floating Apparition Power Level: 5 In the later part of the 19th century, many immigrant factory workers perished due to management negligence or worse. MOLLY, unfortunately, was not an exception. An early advocate for safer working conditions, MOLLY died under mysterious circumstances on the factory floor. Now, two centuries later, a recycling plant opens in the same building and a mysterious apparition appears wailing right before or perhaps causing major accidents. Luckily, THE REAL CIRCLE CITY GHOSTBUSTERS were called to bust the BANSHEE. Footage of the encounter can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYGz_mUo_Yg #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
CREATURE FEATURE The Fortville IT aka Fortville Vathek, Robert Gray, Eater of Worlds, Child Eater, Spider Monster, Pennywise the Dancing Clown Dimension of Origin: UNKNOWN Class: VII Corporeal Killer Clown Creature Power Level: 7 (Full Power) This FORTVILLE IT is a type of VATHEK, a spectral form that can enter the realm of the living through the act of writing. IT has taken the form of the fictional shape-shifting creature known as “IT” aka PENNYWISE. The literary “IT” is a type of ancient entity that would awaken about every 27 years to feed on people's fear and due to the nature of a VATHEK, IT has become and always was “IT.” The FORTVILLE IT’s many powers are proportionality fueled by belief and fear, including: reality altering, superhuman agility, superhuman strength, superhuman stamina, superhuman durability, superhuman speed, size alteration, shape shifting, telepathy, invisibility, telekinesis, teleportation, and various other psychic powers. In September 2019, the creature tried to take over the town of Fortville, Indiana with a surge of red balloons tied to the sewer grates to lure in choice victims… children. The CIRCLE CITY GHOSTBUSTERS were dispatched and baring Jacob Bartlett’s "ethical dilemma" of using the Junior Ghostbusters as bait to flush out the entity, they were able to surprise and barely able to capture a portion of the creature. Further investigation determined the creature is no longer in the sewer systems. Is IT still lying in wait in Fortville? Only time will tell. #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
CREATURE FEATURE Demogorgon Pollywog aka Frogogorgon, Infant Demogorgon Dimension of Origin: 11-L Class: V Psychic Psychomagnatheric Phantasm Power Level: 2 Called to the town of Hawkins, Indiana in late 2020 to deal with a child disappearance and monster sighting. The CIRCLE CITY GHOSTBUSTERS encountered a nest of the infant form of the DEMOGORGON, while in dimension 11-L, the “UPSIDE DOWN.” The team had to fight off a horde of the malevolent adult creatures as Nick “Coop” Cooper accidentally crushed an infant, alerting them to the team's presence. Luckily, multiple high-powered proton blasts or boson darts temporarily neutronized the beasts, allowing the team to escape, while a timed PROTON PACK generated hyperspatial implosion was successful in vaporizing the nest of DEMOGORGONS and the surrounding quarter mile radius. Footage of the encounter can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYsApfcXqOA #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
CREATURE FEATURE Demogorgons Dimension of Origin: 11-L Class: V Psychic Psychomagnatheric Phantasms Power Levels: 5 Monstrous creatures that hail from a parallel dimension reminiscent to a dark reflection of our world, now known as the “UPSIDE DOWN.” Sometimes using a tear, they can travel to other dimensions and feed on inhabitants from there. After a gate was opened in Hawkins Lab some 40 years ago, DEMOGORGONS began crossing between the two dimensions and feeding on people until the dimension was ultimately sealed or possibly destroyed by the CIRCLE CITY GHOSTBUSTERS. The team first had to fight off a nest of the malevolent creatures as Nick “Coop” Cooper accidentally crushed an infant POLLYWOG, alerting a horde of monsters to the team's presence. Luckily, multiple high-powered proton blasts or boson darts temporarily neutronized the beasts, allowing the team to escape. Footage of the encounter can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYsApfcXqOA #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
CREATURE FEATURE Mind Flayer Dimension of Origin: 11-L Class: VII Psychic Shadow Entity Power Level: 8 This colossal shadow entity rules a supernatural dimension (11-L) sometimes referred to as the “UPSIDE DOWN.” It acts as the hive mind for its resident creatures. While in its dimension, the CIRCLE CITY GHOSTBUSTERS suffered from headaches, uneasiness, mild-incontinence, and dread. The team could feel an evil tugging at their minds while in its domain. Setting its sights on our Earth, the MIND FLAYER has orchestrated numerous schemes to open interdimensional tears across the town of Hawkins, Indiana, in order to invade our reality and feast on humanity. The creature was possibly destroyed or sealed permanently in its reality by a 40-megaton antimatter blast (EPISODE 2: Stranger Things in the Neighborhood). Footage of the encounter can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYsApfcXqOA #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
CREATURE FEATURE Possessed Nitro Dimensions of Origin: 68-F & UNKNOWN Class: V Wandering Wyvern Possessor Power Level: 5 A powerful POSSESSOR ghost took control of the Indy Fuel’s beloved mascot, NITRO, one night in 2021 during a game. Several hockey players removed their gloves and helmets and attempted to quell the rampaging, transmogrified NITRO in what they described as “a hell of a donnybrook” (whatever that means). Ultimately, the services of the CIRCLE CITY GHOSTBUSTERS were required. Unable to get close to the fire-breathing DRAGON and fearing shooting him with the particle throwers, we sent our ectoplasmologist in to exorcise the ghost. He performed a slap shot on a slime grenade into the goal, which the possessed NITRO was guarding at the time. The positively charged psychomagnetheric ectoplasm forced the POSSESSOR spirit out of NITRO’s body, returning him to normal. We were able to capture the ghost before it was able to inhabit the body of anyone else. A reenactment of the shot can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pjWmbs1LAA #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
CREATURE FEATURE Puddles the Demogorgon Dimension of Origin: 11-L Class: V Psychic Psychomagnatheric Phantasm Power Level: 4 PUDDLES self-regenerated in the lab from its severed hand (EPISODE 2: Stranger Things in the Neighborhood) thanks in no small part to experiments with psychomagnatheric mood slime and an argument between ectoplasmologist Jacob Bartlett and Nick “Coop” Cooper over a borrowed $20. Coop had, in fact, paid Jacob back, but Jacob’s memory had been wiped of the event. Now, PUDDLES is something of a “pet" that subsists on a diet of mostly junk food and the occasional ghost. This DEMOGORGON regeneration is smaller, heavier, more docile, and sedentary allowing the team to take it to major sporting events for charity (as long as the home team is winning and the crowd is positive). But don’t underestimate her, she can still rip your arms off and crush a human skull in her mouth. Footage of the original PUDDLES can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYsApfcXqOA #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
CREATURE FEATURE Bodyless Terror Dog aka Hellhound Dimension of Origin: UNKNOWN Class: VII Fully Corporeal Possessor Power Level: 6 TERROR DOGS are a vicious breed of demonic HELLHOUNDS not of this world. They are large and bulky monsters vaguely resembling actual dogs, having horns, glowing eyes, a degree of intelligence, superhuman strength, superhuman agility, and can possess human beings as vessels. The most infamous TERROR DOGS are the two loyal servants of GOZER known as ZUUL and VINZ CLORTHO. When searching for our original LARRY CRYE and/or Josta soda using our REMOTE PORTAL, we stumbled across a lone TERROR DOG. The creature tried to jump through the portal and luckily new Larry was able to turn it off, decapitating it. We mounted the head in the office. We’re hoping it never re-incorporates. #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
CREATURE FEATURE Bernie Duenorth aka The Dock Devil Dimension of Origin: 68-F Class: IV Vaporous Full Torso Apparition Power Level: 5 Sometimes you REALLY don’t want to leave your job. BERNIE was the best and continued to work well after he passed in 2022. The bread depot haunting wasn’t an issue until the total solar eclipse on April 8th, 2024, when ambient psycho-kinetic energy (PKE) levels increased in the Midwest causing BERNIE to become destructive. Luckily, the CIRCLE CITY GHOSTBUSTERS were called in to take care of this pretty pesky poltergeist. Footage of the encounter can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiNMb41ko5o&pp=ygUYY2lyY2xlIGNpdHkgZ2hvc3RidXN0ZXJz #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
CREATURE FEATURE Slimer aka Onionhead, Spud, Green Ghost, Sedgewick Hotel Ghost, Pork Tenderloin, Pork Chop Dimension of Origin: UNKNOWN Class: V Full-Roaming Vapor Power Level: 3 An ectoplasmic manifestation of definite but non-human form hailing from some other universe, but crossing over into ours when Larry tried to use the REMOTE TRANSDIMENSIONAL PORTAL to get a bottle of Josta Cola from a dimension where it has not been discontinued. This “SLIMER” is definitely a version of our universe’s SEDGEWICK HOTEL GHOST that is residing at the New York City HQ. Although this variant is “intelligent” and can communicate, he mostly speaks in an incomprehensible gibberish and unfortunately, he cannot tell us where he is from. His time is usually spent eating anything he can get his hands on, while being a test subject for the team’s experiments, accompanying the team on busts, and accidentally (or intentionally) sliming people. Footage of the encounter can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfcreCEOPXA #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
CREATURE FEATURE Mini-Pufts Dimension of Origin: 68-F Class: V Possed Pufts, Gozerian Destructor Form Remnants Power Levels: 3 In 2021, during the second battle with GOZER by the original Ghostbusters, STAY PUFT MARSHMALLOWS in the area started to reconstitute into MINI-PUFTS (Similar to the 1991 battle with a STAY PUFT MARSHMALLOW MAN reconstitution and its MARSHMALLOW MINIS). These MINI-PUFTS are small humanoid marshmallow men that somewhat resemble the original STAY PUFT MARSHMALLOW MAN, except they the lack the sailor collar and tie. They may look cute but are quite destructive. MINI-PUFTS tend to not think before acting, and do not care about each other’s well-being. We don’t know if they are breeding but they are reproducing somehow. In 2024 a small shipment of possessed “pufts” made its way to Indianapolis where the CIRCLE CITY GHOSTBUSTERS attempted to destroy the entire lot of corrupt confections. After experimenting on the survivors, they promptly escaped and commandeered the HQ’s Roomba. The MINI-PUFTS are currently at large. Footage of the encounter can be found here: https://youtu.be/K47b_lIcq28 #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
CREATURE FEATURE Genzon aka Genzon the Cruel Dimension of Origin: UNKNOWN Class: VII Black Dragon Power Level: 6 The young (in dragon terms) GENZON made his nest near the ever-murky White River. He was drawn to Gen Con 2024 to usurp its RED DRAGON guardian GENEVIEVE and to take con merch (mostly dice and collectors’ items) to hoard at his lair. The CIRCLE CITY GHOSTBUSTERS were called to deal with the issue and Sean McFadden was able to neutralize its acid/fire breath (and hateful demeanor) with positively charged psychomagnatheric ectoplasm while Erika Bartlett was able to hit its vulnerable underbelly with a proton beam at full dispersion mode at a wide angle, causing the creature to flee. BLACK DRAGONS are far and away the most vile tempered and cruel of all dragons. Most live in swamps, jungles, and fetid marshlands. Because of this they smelled like rotting vegetation and foul water. They are excellent swimmers and often make their lairs in submerged caves or underground chambers near swamps or murky ponds. BLACK DRAGONS can grow to be around 16 feet tall, 85 feet in length, with a wingspan of 80 feet. They weigh around 159,000 pounds. BLACK DRAGON powers include: super strength, razor sharp claws, acid breath, flight, communicate with lesser reptiles and can influence them to do their bidding, water breathing and can stagnate water, making it become still, foul, and unable to support life. GENZON can spit a stream of flammable acid which he can ignite to breathe fire as well. According to some lore TIAMAT took the longest time to create the BLACK DRAGONS. #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
CREATURE FEATURE Jumanji Dimension of Origin: UNKNOWN Class: VII Trapped Transdimensional Trickster Power Level: 7 JUMANJI is a seemingly antique carved board game containing two dice and game pieces of a keratin rhinoceros, metallic elephant, obsidian crocodile, and a jade monkey. Once the player's piece lands on a square, JUMANJI's crystal ball forms a rhyming riddle to inform players what will be manifested into reality, whatever the text reads into the real world or the jungle world inside JUMANJI. The game’s crystal ball is a gateway to this alternate dimension which the game controls. The entities created by JUMANJI can only be stopped by finishing the game, hence why the instructions advise players to not begin unless they intend to finish. The only way to end the game is by reaching the game's crystal ball center, calling out the name of JUMANJI and the game will undo all the consequences and alternative timelines of the game. The old man who gave JUMANJI to us said he has tried to get rid of the cursed game by burying it, burning it, and sinking it. But it always managed to survive. So, he gave it to us at Gen Con 2024. Jacob Bartlett labeled it at HQ with a post it note, “For Jeremiah” as in Jeremiah Ashlock our cursed artifact curator. Sean McFadden thinking it was a present, opened JUMANJI and accidently rolling the dice, was teleported into the game. The Professor, Nic Farnsworth, realizing that it was Sean’s turn to load the dishwasher rescued him via REMOTE TRANSDIMENSIONAL PORTAL using the games’ P.K.E frequency. This angered JUMANJI and it again took Sean, and after repeated teleportation the team realized we had to finish the game. Jacob Bartlett, Cole Seger, Sean McFadden, and the Professor proceeded to play, test, and study the game. Cole Seger theorized the game feeds on the emotions of those playing it. It was determined JUMANJI has the abilities of invincibility, reality altering, portal creation, time manipulation, form manipulation, entity creation, and the occasional drumming that only children and players can hear. Sean McFadden’s P.K.E. METER scans inside and outside the game were invaluable research and we were able to determine that the game is a bound primal trickster god/demon. Sean luckily was able to win the game after being shot by Van Pelt. Our equipment had some interesting effects on the entities the game created. The game may have reset time to before we started playing, but the smell of burning monkey remains. When we weren’t looking, the game changed into a Sega Genesis cartridge, trying to entice us to play again. We are now sending the game to the corporate Paranormal Research Center in Staten Island. #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
CREATURE FEATURE Peter Pumpkan Dimension of Origin: UNKNOWN Class: V Wrathful Will-O'-Wisp Wraith Power Level: 5 While making a scarecrow of founding Ghostbuster, Peter Venkman for a charity event in 2024. We were surprised when it lit on fire, bent over backwards and quickly started spider crawling toward us, as its jack o’lantern head spun around, screaming: “Destroy the Ghostbusters! The midnight army is close at hand. The door will be opened. All hail the lord of Halloween!” We thought that was pretty odd and Scotty shot it in the face. We were able to trap it with minimal fire damage to Cole’s property. WRAITHS are violent, evil spirits that hate all living things. They are the embodiment of concentrated fear.

CREATURE FEATURE Rodefhiri aka Boogieman, Boogeyman, and Bogeyman, Schreckgespenst Dimension of Origin: UNKNOWN Class: VII Legendary Repeating Corporeal Entity Power Level: 7 (Full Power) A lot of monsters claim to be him, but there is only one RODEFHIRI the BOOGIEMAN, a malicious, supernatural creature who has been terrorizing human children all over the world and feeding on their fear for generations. While his many powers are proportionality fueled by belief and fear, including: reality altering, portal creation, superhuman agility, superhuman strength, superhuman stamina, superhuman durability, razor sharp claws, size alteration, shape shifting, invisibility, possession of inanimate objects, and a powerful scream which can knock the strongest Busters off their feet. The BOOGIEMAN at his most powerful can create and maintain his own realm. It’s been said around the office that the BOOGIEMAN used to terrify Dr. Spengler when he was a child, and it was these encounters that inspired him to study the paranormal. One of the few entities to escape the original team’s entrapments (multiple times over the years) RODEFHIRI hates all Ghostbusters for these imprisonments and will take his anger out on any team that may cross him. The CIRCLE CITY GHOSTBUSTERS have encountered the BOOGIEMAN at least twice and a liberal application of BOOGIEMAN SPRAY ™ in the closet or under the bed will deter him and any other monsters in the general area. In late 2024 the team mistakenly believed he was the KRAMPUS. The KRAMPUS was captured but the BOOGIEMAN is still at large. Footage of the encounter can be found here: https://youtu.be/-GJyrF25Bbo #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
CREATURE FEATURE Krampus aka Knecht Ruprecht, Certa, Perchten, Zwarte Piet, Black Peter, Schmutzli, Pelznickel, Belsnickel, Père Fouettard, Klaubauf. Dimension of Origin: UNKNOWN Class: VII Legendary Repeating Corporeal Entity Power Level: 6 (Full Power) KRAMPUS punished naughty children during Christmas time by swatting them with bundles of birch. The vilest and naughtiest children were kidnapped to be cooked and eaten. KRAMPUS was a malicious, supernatural creature who has been terrorizing human children all over the world and feeding on their fear for generations until bound by another, more powerful, belief empowered entity, CLASS IV ST. NICHOLAS OF MYRA (later SANTA CLAUS) in the 17th century and later imprisoned by SANTA in the 20th century. While his many powers are proportionality fueled by belief and fear, including: approximating the appearance of a dirty old man to “blend in”, superhuman agility, superhuman strength, superhuman stamina, superhuman durability, razor sharp claws, teleportation, demon magick, Extra Sensory Perception (ESP), and a powerful roar which can knock the strongest Busters off their feet. The CIRCLE CITY GHOSTBUSTERS encountered the KRAMPUS during an escape from SANTA CLAUS in late 2024. The team utilized the DESTABLIZER to render him non-corporeal allowing a good child (that he can’t sense) to trap him. KRAMPUS was handed over to SANTA, and he gave KRAMPUS a new purpose, punishing the greedy 1%. Footage of the encounter can be found here: https://youtu.be/-GJyrF25Bbo #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
CREATURE FEATURE Santa Claus aka Saint Nicholas of Myra, Nicholas of Bari, Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Saint Niklaus, Father Christmas, Père Noël, Sinterklaas, Santa Dimension of Origin: 68-F Class: IV Legendary Repeating Corporeal Entity Power Level: 5 (Alive), 7 (Full Power) Born in 270 and died December 6th, 343, the man who would become SANTA CLAUS was already a powerful bishop in Myra, what is now Turkey. SANTA has been delivering gifts since the 4th century and worldwide from the 16th century on to all the good children of the world who believe in him. During the 17th century SANTA bound the KRAMPUS and later during the 20th century, SANTA imprisoned the KRAMPUS for crimes against children. SANTA has belief-based powers and abilities comparable to Class VII entities including: superhuman agility, superhuman stamina, superhuman durability, teleportation, time manipulation, flight, alter himself/objects/beings, Extra Sensory Perception (ESP), and can perform miracles. The CIRCLE CITY GHOSTBUSTERS encountered SANTA CLAUS during the KRAMPUS’ escape from SANTA in late 2024. The team utilized the DESTABLIZER to render KRAMPUS non-corporeal allowing a good child (that he can’t sense) to trap him. KRAMPUS was handed over to SANTA, and he gave KRAMPUS a new purpose, punishing the greedy 1%. Footage of the encounter can be found here: https://youtu.be/-GJyrF25Bbo #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
CREATURE FEATURE Prince Vigo Von Homburg Deutschendorf aka Scourge of Carpathia, Sorrow of Moldavia, Vigo the Carpathian, Vigo the Cruel, Vigo the Torturer, Vigo the Despised, Vigo the Unholy Dimension of Origin: 68-F Class: IV Madman Mage Power Level: 5 (Alive), 7 (With Psychomagnotheric Ectoplasm), 6 (Reformed), 1 (Current) Born in 1505 and killed in 1610, the medieval tyrant and sorcerer who ruled over the small Balkan kingdom of Carpathia, what is now the border or Romania and Ukraine. In 1989, when the river of psychomagnotheric ectoplasm beneath the streets of New York City became negatively charged, the spirit of VIGO grew quite powerful. With this abundance of negative energy to draw upon, VIGO was able to escape the painting his soul was bonded to and gained abilities comparable to Class VII entities. Once defeated by the original Ghostbusters the portrait of VIGO displayed the first painting on the canvas of the Ghostbusters victory, painted by a psychic before it was painted over for VIGO’s portrait. By 1991 the portrait of VIGO had reformed and was stored at the New York City firehouse HQ, escaping again shortly after in the TIAMAT incident, but was quickly dispatched back to his painting prison. After hearing a story from Mr. Zeddemore in 2016, we made several copies of the portrait from original 1989 gift shop slides and discovered VIGO can communicate through copies as long as there is a high concentration of ambient psycho-kinetic energy (PKE) in the surrounding area. In late 2024 the team brought VIGO to the Indiana State Museum New Year’s Eve event. He kept taunting the patrons and asking them to bring him a child so he may live again. #Ghostbusters #WhoYouGonnaCall #CreatureFeature
