“Ghoul Street Crash”

“Winston’s Diary”
Monday, March 6th, 1989
    Winston and Peter were enjoying a James Bond movie when an old colleague of Peter’s calls them down to the Metropolitan Art Gallery.  Apparently, a man named Hugh Jeers is the reincarnation of famed Italian artist Bertalucci Fetuccini. Before he died, he had cast a spell so he could observe what becomes of his legacy.  Disappointed, he’s become a nuisance to Hugh, which is where the Ghostbusters come in to alleviate him of his ancestral burden.
  
“Dead True!”
    The story behind Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s haunted car.

“Ghost Buttress”
    Peter and Winston set out to investigate a haunted house.  They don’t find a thing until they spot their ghost leaning against a wall, claiming to hold the house up.  The Ghostbusters aren’t about to fall for such an obvious line, are they?

“Blimey!  It’s Slimer!”
    Slimer’s dreaming ends up a little too real.
