There's Going To Be A 'Ghostbusters' Version Of Pokemon Go And We Know Who We're Gonna Call

By Tanya
Watching Ghostbusters as a kid basically meant that we all believed in ghosts to some extent. Sure, we knew Slimer wasn't going to come around the corner because Spengler had him under control, but also, what if he did?

Personally, I know that I had countless dreams where I would be chasing the ghosts around my neighborhood
