Notes:

Skyscraper and bridge construction crews: brave souls that, since the evolution of the Manhattan skyline, have met their fates in terrible accidents. They've fallen from great heights, been crushed by swinging steel, drowned in vats of settling concrete, and been scalded by hot pitch.

The city is built on the bones of these victims of the on-the-job construction accidents. Now they've all found new careers in deconstruction.

Contact Protocol:

Contact protocol for Construction Worker Ghosts is simple. These Class III enemies don't pose much of a threat unless you're already injured or are surrounded by other ghosts as well. Keep a safe distance from them to spot their range attacks immediately, and disperse their PKE with your Proton Stream before capping and trapping them.

Tobin's Summary:

Oftentimes casualties of a large construction effort will remain in the building, haunting it. This was most common in the cathedrals of the middle ages, when conditions were hazardous and construction practices were haphazard at best. These beings can usually be dispelled with a proper burial or, barring that, extensive wards and sigils to banish them.

Egon's Notes:

I've seen several of these ghosts in skyscrapers, the modern parallel to the hazardous construction effort of the medieval cathedral. This is similar to the cake phenomenon, where a ghost is tethered to one of its creations.

Ray's Tips:

To the general public, a ghost like this is frightening. To us, it's more or less a standard specimen full torso floater, best handled with the Blast Stream, which also works well on anything it tries to animate or hide in.

Secondary Canon History

Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime

The Muck Master is a type of entity that manifests in Level 3: River of Ooze and Level 4: NYC Mayhem with a yellow energy aura. It is weak against the Fermion Shock. However, keep a safe distance upon dispersing the entity. It will unleash a shockwave in its wake.
