A couple of weeks before Halloween I had the idea of dressing like a Ghostbuster and building a proton pack in a reportedly haunted place. In the end, I would pick Spring Ranche, Nebraska, a haunted town with a really… DARK… history!

I had planned previously to build a full-size pack, but I try to make props I know others are more likely to have access to. Also, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee (Bitterasiandude Inc.) inspired me to modify the Spirit Halloween pack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qcjo0tB8vZ8&t=0s. I decided to go for Spenglers’ pack from the original motion picture. Luckily Dan Lanigan, who owns the pack, gave me great reference for it https://youtu.be/Tqvb-uGCcwQ?t=3025.

I used the GBFans site and many of your creations and recommendations to modify the pack, which has movie accurate and game accurate lights, sounds, and smoke effect. I had committed myself to only use items I could buy, but ran out of time and had to 3D model a part. I got around the rule by paying someone else to print it and making the STL file available for free download https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/gb-n-...

When I got to Spring Ranche, strange things definitely happened. Not necessarily haunted, but strange. As I drove into town, it got cold, dark, cloudy, and cell service/GPS stopped! There were also loud noises that made the imagination run wild. I lost parts to the pack as I put it together. Also, I wrecked the back of my car. In any case, we got it built and tested. Feel free to check out the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZoCLCjPKBs

Thanks GBFans!
