Ghostbusters: Back to Amityville
It was a dark rainy night in New York. Roland, Kylie and Dustin had just returned from a call at the Sedwick Hotel. Their business had been steady. It was just like the days of the original Ghostbusters where they had a call all the time. Sometimes they would go on a dry spell and not have one for a few weeks which made Dustin bored out of his mind. Sometimes he'd look for any supernatural occurrences somewhere but as of late, he stopped doing that. A few months ago they took a trip to Japan to investigate a supernatural curse that had cost the life of Eduardo. Dustin took off his original Proton Pack and hung it on a hook in his locker. He walked up stairs and lied down on his bed. He was exhausted, he ended up falling asleep. Roland went into the living room and started watching TV. Kylie sat on a nearby chair on her laptop. The three Ghostbusters took this time to relax. For all they knew it could be the last time they could relax before their next call.
A few hours later about 3:30 in the morning, the phone next to Dustin's bed rang and woke him up. He reached over and answered it.
"If this isn't an incredibly hot girl, I'm hanging up." Dustin said groggily.
At that moment he was hit with a pillow from Kylie who was across the room.
"I mean Ghostbusters. What can we do for you?"
While Dustin was taking the call Roland and Kylie got out of their beds and walked over to him. Roland stood next to Dustin's bed while Kylie sat down on the edge. After writing things on a notepad and hanging up the phone. Dustin turned his attention to his two comrades.
"We've got a haunted house on the other side of Long Island." Dustin said getting up and heading to the closet to get dressed.
"What's the address?" Roland asked.
"112 Ocean Ave. Amityville."
"Why does that sound familiar?" Kylie asked.
"Because it was a movie."
Kylie and Roland looked to each other, confused. Dustin pulled out his black jumpsuit and looked back at Kylie and Roland.
"It was called The Amityville Horror." Dustin said. "I'll explain the story on the way. It'll take us about an hour to get there."
Minutes later, Ecto-1 was on its way to Amityville with its lights on and siren blaring. Roland was driving while Dustin sat in the passenger seat and Kylie was in the back.
"So tell us the story." Kylie said.
Dustin shifted in his seat to have Roland and Kylie in his view.
"Back in 1974 Ronald DeFeo killed his entire family. In December of the following year a family by the name of Lutz moved in. The first signs of a haunting were when they had a priest come by to bless the house as a precaution. However, when the priest began to prey he heard a voice say 'Get out.' Then on the following visit the priest developed signs similar to a stigmata. The Lutzes didn't experience anything at first but soon things started happening."
"What kind of things?" Roland asked.
"Kathy Lutz would have detailed nightmares about the killings. George would wake up every morning around 3:15 and go to the boat house. Sometimes he would see glowing red eyes from his daughter's room. Unseen forces would damages doors, locks, and windows. Crucifixes would rotate upside down. George would wake up to loud noises that no one else would hear. Kathy would levitate off the bed. George also noticed that he had a strong resemblance to DeFeo. Green slime would ooze from the walls and locks. Shortly later, the Lutzes left. Even though they never saw anything I'm guessing we're dealing with a low class 1 with the abilities of a level 2." Dustin said.
"So this is a typical haunting?" Kylie asked.
"Yes and no. Most hauntings aren't famous. This one for some reason is. I believe it's just from the intensity of the murders."
"How do you know all these things?" Roland asked.
"Wikipedia." Dustin replied with a smile.
About a half hour later the Ghostbusters arrived outside of the infamous house. The three got out and put on their proton packs. Dustin hooked one of the original traps to the left side of his Proton Pack and attached a P.K.E. Meter to his belt.
"So this is it, huh?" Roland asked.
"Yep. This is it." Dustin replied.
"Are you the Ghostbusters?" A voice said behind them.
The three turned around to see a man at least in his forties in a rain coat holding an umbrella and a flashlight.
"My name is Dennis Grandon. I live across the street. I'm the owner of that house."
Dustin walked around the car to the man and shook his hand.
"I'm Dr. Zofchak. This is Dr. Jackson and Dr. Griffin." He said pointing to the other two.
Roland leaned over to Kylie.
"We're doctors?" Roland whispered.
"Just go with it." She replied. "Besides, it sounds better if we are."
"Come with me to my place and I'll explain everything." Dennis said.
