History[]
Currently this history is quite incomplete. So we encourage visiting Paul's Website Archives page.
Spook Central was started in August 1996 at the url http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/7218/.[4]
Egon's Workshop, a separate project between Paul and Ghostbusters Headquarters webmaster Troy Benjmain, was opened in 1999. [5] It only stayed open for a couple of years.
At some point the site moved to http://www.realghostbusters.com/. The site itself was at http://prudoff.hispeed.com and also could be accessed at http://www.spookcentral.cjb.net.
On August 12, 2010 for the 14th anniversary the site premiered a new site design by Tristan Jones, which featured seven site headers. Also Gozer temple as a background image was added.[6]
On August 1, 2011 the site offered for the 15th Anniversary an embroidered sew-on patch of the Logo design. On October 5, 2022, Spook Central offically moved to www.SpookCentral.tk.[7] The site has been using this domain name since 2003, but only as a forwarding address.
