Ghostbusters mistake reflecting pool water for ectoplasmic residue

The Ghostbusters have mistaken the green algae in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool for ectoplasmic residue, Ray Stantz has revealed. 

After hearing about the green reflecting pool in Washington, Stantz, Venkman, Spengler and Zeddemore were disappointed to find nothing but algae instead of the precious slime sample they were hoping for.

“It’s was pretty annoying,” admitted a frustrated Ray Stantz. 

“We got kitted out with our jumpsuits, proton packs and ecto-containment units all for nothing. This could’ve been our biggest ectoplasm haul of all time, but instead we’ve just got this algae-ridden water. It’s incredibly discouraging. 

“Venkman isn’t going to let me hear the end of it. He was hitting on some college girls in Manhattan at the time and I forced him to start up Ecto-1 and get us to Washington immediately. It took us like four hours to get up here. Spengler still seemed pretty interested in examining the algae. Winston said he didn’t really care as long as he still got paid.

“The trip wasn’t a complete waste of time, though. We spotted a massive, orange Class 5 Full Roaming Vapor with tiny hands walking up and down the White House garden. It was pretty darn big, let me tell you.

“We’ll probably have to cross the streams just to contain it.”
