You know the worst thing about being visited by a ghost? Well, it’s not the hauntings or the creepy noises, it’s the slimy green ectoplasm they leave behind. Droodle has a conversation with the ghost of Joel Haver and asks him to kindly clean up his goo.

The long-awaited follow-up to Ivan Reitman’s two Ghostbusters films was directed by his son Jason. It follows the story of a family who leaves the big city for the country and discovers they have a connection to the specter-fighting team. They end up dusting off the ECTO-1 and proton packs after spirits rise once again.

Halloween is over, so now all the ghosts and ghouls are out there looking for something else to do. Buttered Side Down shares one of his ghostly encounters in his latest silly POV video, which starts out looking like a first-person version of the arcade game Paperboy, minus the bicycle.

The grinning ghosts in installations by artist Roberto Cambi have won awards for playfully haunting European landmarks. Cambi also makes mini versions as tea light holders to decorate not-so-haunted houses everywhere. Artemest and Pasadena’s Gold Bug sell them in small, medium, and large. No two are alike.

We’ll forgive the omission of Slimer, if only because these 2″ Ghostbusters Minimates (available in two sets) include proton guns with detachable streams and a toasted Rick Moranis.

This Ghostwire trailer is as creepy as the game’s concept; you’ll use your DSi to hunt for EVPs (electronic voice phenomena) as it blends real-life with (hopefully) simulated ghosts.
