Earth-4088480

The sun was beginning to set behind the hills as the car made its way down the road. Trevor was at the wheel, his brow furrowed as he stared out at the horizon, focused on the road that stretched toward Salem, Massachusetts.

Beside him, Phoebe adjusted her glasses, reading an old book she had found in the archives of her grandfather, Egon Spengler.

The wind blew the pages away, but she held them steady, her eyes scanning each line as if searching for answers.

Podcast in the backseat, always ready with his video camera, he spoke enthusiastically about Salem's paranormal history.

He asked - Did you know that Salem is not only famous for witch trials? It has one of the highest concentrations of supernatural phenomena in the entire country?-

As Lucky Domingo, who was sitting next to him, listened in silence, she thoughtfully said - In fact, most of those cases are false or come from hysteria... we don't come for the city itself-

She had kept to herself for much of the trip, and though she and Trevor had maintained a complicated relationship after the events in Summerville, she had been persuasive enough to get them to follow her now.

It was she who told them of a possible solution to the problem that still plagued them, the excess of ghosts trapped in the containers.

Trevor broke the silence by asking, "I don't want to sound like the skeptic, but… are you sure this is going to work?"

Lucky looked at him in the rearview mirror and sighed -I don't know... but I trust Megan, she was the one who told me about this- with conviction.

Phoebe looked up from her book, still with a skeptical expression -I'm still not convinced by the idea, I don't see how this can be useful to us-

They entered the city, which was already full of the festive atmosphere of the season, on a street a girl of Lucky's age was waiting for them, leaning on a street lamp, when they saw her figure in the distance, Lucky smiled.

She said -it's her, stop…- Trevor stops the car and Lucky gets out to meet the other girl, both gave each other a hug, then they got into the car and Lucky introduced -guys, this is my friend from college, Megan McNally-

Everyone said hello and the new girl said -nice to meet you, let me guess, the one with the camera is Podcast… the girl with the old book is Phoebe… and the one with the untamed black hair can only be the famous Trevor-

He looks back and asks dismayed -famous for what?- to which the older girls just laugh and Lucky comments -nothing special-

Phoebe watched her carefully and asked -What exactly are we going to do here?- closing her book and crossing her arms.

Megan looked her straight in the eyes, aware of the importance of the question -It's an ancient ritual, from the times of the Salem witches, specifically designed to contain and eliminate paranormal presences-

Trevor raised an eyebrow and asked, -And how do you know about it?-

Megan doubtfully answers, -I'd better explain it to you there, we have to meet up with the rest of the group-

The group exchanged glances and headed toward the outskirts of town, where an old house stood at the entrance to the forest, its dark silhouette against the reddish sky.

When they arrived, three teenagers were waiting for them on the front porch of the house, each with a tensely calm expression, as if they knew exactly what was coming.

Megan got out of the car and waved at them, she explained -These are the three I mentioned, the Valentine siblings-

Trevor suddenly spotted the only boy in the new group, and something strange happened when their eyes met, almost as if he knew him from somewhere else.

If you noticed my style is a little different, it's because I'm trying out using the GPT chat AI

What I do is give it the prompts, copy what it answers, and then edit it twice, let me know if you guys like this new system.

Earth-4088480 is set after the events of "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire."

And before you ask, yes, magic exists in this universe, as there is evidence of its existence in both canon universes.
