- 12:30-1:15PM The Ghosts of Ghostbusters: Fact V Fiction (Novak)
- There are some things in this world that go way beyond human understanding, things that cannot be explained, things that most people don't want to know about. Are ghosts and haunted houses real? Will a Class 5 Full Roaming Vapour ruin your hotel stay in LA? Does ectoplasmic residue really trouble the ghost hunter? Or is it just as simple as sudden cold spots, being troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night, and feelings of dread in your basement or attic? Join paranormal researcher Dylan Jones, as he discusses the Ghosts of Ghostbusters:Fact v Fiction.
