....let's assume that Ghost Busting is real. Okay, okay, Ghost Busting as it appears in the movies (and other media). You see a spook, specter, or ghost or you have feelings of dread in your attic or basement so you don't hesitate a minute more and you call the Paranormal Professionals: "Ghostbusters!" Now this is what I had been wondering:
Are the Ghostbusters like any other exterminators in the sense that they come to your home or place of business assess what you have, tell you you have a class 3 repeater or a roving phantasm, and give you an estimate on cost? Then it's up to you to decide "Do I have the money to do so?" THEN they do their job? Would they give you a quote AFTER the literal and proverbial damage has been done, like what they did at the Sedgwick? Do you really think an average ghost removal would cost $5,000? Personally, I like to think that the Ghostbusters, being that the Sedgwick was their first big bust, managed to squeeze out that number because it was such a fancy, high-brow hotel - like the Plaza - and they needed the funds to keep going. I have a hard time believing that they would charge an average middle-class family $5,000 to eliminate a specter. I am just curious as to what you guys thought about the Busters as a business, just food for thought.
