"It's been giving us all nightmares for a week now," the man told the four Ghostbusters as they walked into his house. "We just thought it was from indigestion or something else. It wasn't until last night when my youngest son woke up to get a drink did he see the ghost hovering over his sister. He said it had its hand inside her head. Kyle went over to wake her up, but the ghost wouldn't allow him until all the lights came on and it disappeared." Egon peered at his PKE meter.

"Most ghosts are sensitive when it comes to light," Ray responded. "They like to sneak around in the dark."

"Among other things," Peter retorted poking his friend. Ray shot him a look. "We will solve your problem, Mr. Cullen."

"Hey, it's the Ghostbusters!" A voice shouted. Winston, Ray, and Peter turned around to see a small boy and taller girl. He rushed up to them with the girl right behind him.

"You must be the brave guy that saved your sister," Winston said.

"Yeah, I'm Kyle," the boy replied. "This is my sister Sarah."

"Hi," she said quietly. "You're going to get the ghost, right?"

"Of course, Sarah," Dr. Venkman answered. "It's our job."

"You won't have anymore nightmares," Dr. Stantz added. "I hate nightmares."

"Me too," Kyle responded. "They're scary. The ghost was really scary too."

"Gentlemen, a word please," Egon said from his position near the bottom of the stairs in the two story house. Winston and Peter went over to Dr. Spengler. Ray looked at the two kids.

"Don't worry," Ray told them. He joined his friends. "What's up, Egon?"

"We're dealing with a very powerful ghost. Possibly a class 7 or 8," Dr. Spengler informed them. "I'm getting extremely high residuals from all over the house. Especially upstairs. From the description Mr. Cullen has given the ghost must thrive on the energy created by the panic of his victim. He has the ability to create a nightmare than take the energy to survive."

"So, in a house with four people it can do this for quite a while," Ray said. "Especially with the kids."

"Let's bust this sucker," Peter said.

"Whoa, guys, let's not jump into anything," Winston told them. "Egon, do you think it's possible for the thing to get to someone who isn't sleeping?"

"It's quite possible," Dr. Spengler answered. "I'd have to study it though."

"Not a good idea," Dr. Venkman interjected. "I don't want another goober floating around the firehouse eating all our food and putting more slime in my bed."

"I wouldn't do that," Egon replied. "It's highly unadvisable. Most of the ghosts we come across are vicious and unpredictable."

"It would be a good experiment," Ray commented. "To see if we could tame a ghost." His friends stared at him. "It was just an idea. I wouldn't do anything like that."

"Well, let's get this over with," Dr. Venkman said. He pulled out his proton gun. "Upstairs, men."

"Be careful, guys," Dr. Stantz told his friends. "Dani said that something might happen. She had a bad feeling."

"Did she happen to have a vision?" Winston inquired. "That might help a bit more."

"No," Ray answered. "She just said she had a bad feeling."

"Don't we all," Peter responded. Egon led the way up the stairs with his PKE meter in front of him. Winston, Ray, and Peter followed. "Peter, Ray, check the kids room. Winston, you and I will check the attic." The two went into the room as the black man reached up to open the stairs that led to the attic.

"You sure about this, Egon?" Winston asked. "Attics aren't really our thing. We do more damage falling through the ceiling than shooting the ghosts with our proton guns."

"I doubt we will fall through the ceiling, Winston," Dr. Spengler responded. He went up the ladder with his friend in tow.

"Cool toys," Dr. Stantz commented as he and Dr. Venkman walked into the kids' room. "I love video games."

"We aren't here to play, Ray," Peter told his friend. "We have a job, which you pretty much think of as a game anyway." He watched as his friend went over to the closet. "What are you doing?"

"Checking the closet," Ray answered. "It could be hiding in there." The two heard a thump above them followed by Winston's shouting. "Well, now it could." The young man opened the door and was knocked down by the ghost flying out of the closet. It screamed at them with a high pitch squeal. Ray covered his ears.

"That is one ugly goober," Dr. Venkman commented. He fired at the thing and hit a toy hanging on the wall. "Ray, help me out here." The ghost flashed its mouth full of teeth at Peter and let out another scream. The psychologist let go of his gun and covered his own ears. "Damn. That hurts."

"I've got it!" Ray yelled. He fired just as the ghost stuck its hand into Peter's head. "Peter!" He let go of the trigger and watched in horror as his friend's face contorted into pain. "Peter!"

"Got it!" Winston shouted hitting the ghost with his proton beam. Egon joined him as well. It shrieked and released Peter. The brown-haired man fell to the floor. "Trap, Ray!" The young man threw it out and the ghost was quickly sucked in. Egon and Ray went over to their friend's side.

"Peter?" Egon said tentatively kneeling down next to his friend. Ray took Dr. Venkman's proton pack off his back so Dr. Spengler could roll him on his back. The Ghostbuster looked taunt and extremely pale.

"He doesn't look good," Winston said.

"The ghost must have taken a lot from him," Ray replied. "He didn't have to give Peter nightmares. We've live through enough of them."

"Peter, wake up," Dr. Spengler said. He touched his friend's shoulder and Peter lashed out grabbing his friend tightly by the throat. Egon let out a sound like cat about to hack up a fur ball. The blonde scientist tried to remove his friend's hand. Ray started to help. Winston muttered a few swear words.

"You touch any of my friend's again I will kill you myself," Dr. Venkman growled. He opened his eyes and quickly released his grip. "Oh, God." Peter sat up ignoring a wave of dizziness. "Egon, I'm sorry. I thought I was somewhere else. That ghost had me reliving a few nightmares." Dr. Spengler nodded as he rubbed his throat.

"We caught it," Winston told him. "This thing won't be bothering anyone for a really long time."

"Egon, are you okay?" A voice cackled over Ray's radio. Ray pulled the radio off his belt. "Hello?"

"Yes, Dani. Egon's fine," Ray answered. "How did you know?"

"I'm not sure," Dani stuttered. "I was just suddenly linked with Peter. I saw a lot of stuff." Peter grabbed the radio from his friend.

"Dani, I don't want you thinking about anything you saw. All that stuff was a long time ago," Dr. Venkman said into the radio. "Do you understand?" He waited for an answer. "Dani, did you hear me? Don't bother with any of it." There was still no answer and he looked at Ray.

"Maybe she got distracted," Dr. Stantz suggested. "Slimer could have done something. Or there was a call."

"That's why we have Janine, Ray," Winston said.

"Dr. V., you there?" Another familiar voice asked over the radio.

"Yeah, Janine. What happened?"

"I'm not sure. Dani just grew really quiet and went to her room. She told me to warn you guys about an accident. Be careful speeding in the Lincoln Tunnel."

"Why would we speed?"

"Because there's a giant moth attacking the mayor's office and he wants you there now."

"Thanks, Janine," Ray told their secretary. He put the radio back on his belt loop. The room was very quiet as the four guys sat thinking about what had just happened.

"I guess we better go," Winston said breaking the silence. "The mayor is one person we can't put off until next week."

"Yeah," Peter agreed as he stood up. "Let's go, guys."
