Hey, everyone, it's Ray Stantz here! You know, the guy who was freezing on Route 29 on Christmas Eve?
Don't worry, I'm more than safe now. :-)
Anyway, I do research on the supernatural (I specialize in ghosts and the hunting and containment of them, for those curious!) and I've been reading up on myths and legends in this dimension. It's pretty interesting stuff, but I would like to hear some first hand accounts of the strange and unusual sightings in this dimension! Whether it's encounters with Legendary Pokémon, normal Pokémon, or just strange occurrences you've noted in this dimension, I want to hear about it! I think it would help get me a better understanding of this dimension. And even if it doesn't, it would be fun to hear about!
Or heck, if you have any fun stories of strange encounters back in your home dimension I would love to hear that too; I'm not picky!

You know, you're the second guy who's told me about this Ford! I really gotta meet him sometime; it's so rare to find other people who are truly into the supernatural!
WHOA
WAIT A MINUTE
YOU TACKLED A CLASS 11 BY YOURSELF AND LIVED?
How did you do that, kid?! In my experience tackling a Class 5 completely by yourself is usually a bad idea, and that's with equipment!

I wasn't by myself but it was pretty intense. There's a girl the same age as Mabel and me, named Pacifica Northwest and her family is like super rich. She wanted me to get rid of a ghost that was haunting them because they were having an important party.
Long story but it turned out the ghost was way more powerful then I thought. I'd trapped it in a silver mirror and talked to it and it told me it was trying to enact a curse it had put on the family years ago and they were just too snobby and rich to break the curse which was just let the "common folk" come to the party they always had.
Apparently it was powerful enough to get out of the mirror when it tricked me into letting it look at the trees. My current theory was because he used to be a lumberjack. Also I ended up being turned into a wooden statue by the ghost. Which is a thing it can do. But apparently Paficifca managed to break the curse by opening the gate for people to come into the mansion so the ghost was appeased and turned everyone back into people and just kinda left peacefully.

Still, even if you didn't trap it, the fact that you're able to to deal with a Class 11 as a kid is impressive! Especially without equipment.
Not that kid's can't ever help with the supernatural, but our equipment is really heavy! It took me forever to build up the appropriate strength to carry my proton pack without it weighing me down.
... And also ghosts are really dangerous for most normal people.

Really, what sort of stuff do you use? I had a book with an exorcism spell and a silver mirror. It should have worked if the ghost was less powerful. It might have even worked if it hadn't gotten out of the mirror.
And yeah, ghosts can be really dangerous but by that point I'd seen a lot of weird stuff. A lot of it was trying to kill me. It was creepy but at least it wasn't a shapeshifter or a giant robot or something trying to end the world.
So far the ghosts I've met have probably been the more reasonable. I mean they want something that's usually weirdly specific and if they don't get it it's pretty bad, but you can generally work with that.

Basically Proton Packs are miniature particle accelerator. Simply put, ghosts are made out of negative energy, so Proton Packs strip particles of the electrons, shooting the ghosts with a stream of pure positive energy and ensnaring them.
A Ghost Trap is basically just a container that can hold a ghost so there's not much to explain there!
Gee, kid, what happened that so many monsters try to kill you? It's my job to capture ghosts so I have to deal with things trying to kill me almost daily, but you seem like a pretty normal kid...Oh, mind telling me about the giant robot? I've never really had to deal with those things so I'm curious what it's like to fight them!
Oh yeah it's a lot more easy to work with! I gotta say, it's really exciting to be able to work with ghosts that don't want to kill you!
Back in my home dimension I just had Slimer, and I love him, but having even more ghosts who like you is amazing!

[Someone is taking notes on alternate universe ghosts.]
Probably because I kept looking for them. I spent most of the summer trying to solve the mystery of the town and weird journal I'd found with information about things in it.
Also the entire town was kinda nuts. I mean Mabel ran into a merman in the swimming pool. He didn't try to kill us. But there's a lot of weird stuff you kinda ended up running into a lot of things that did want you dead. Or if we got in the way of what they wanted, then yeah.
Oh that one? That was around the middle of the summer. There's a kid named Gideon, he's kinda not as terrible now but he was scarily obsessed with my sister and hated our family. Really, really long story he ended up coming after us with a giant robot that looked like him.
He grabbed Mabel. I jumped on it, broke through the eye and fought Gideon who was controlling it with a motion capture suit. I won the fight, the robot destroys a bridge, falls off it with Gideon and Mabel saves me from falling with her grappling hook.
Then Gideon ends up in prison and we don't have to deal with him again until the whole mind control mayor election later that summer.

Wow! This town seems to be on par in paranormal activity to New York City!
And this is supposed to be a small town?
[Every text he gets makes him wish he could go there.]
... So I don't know if I want to focus on this Gideon kid who could build evil giant robots or the "mind control mayor election".
Text
Oh Gideon didn't build it himself, he just got someone else to. He's not that smart. ....he did have one of the journals with documented information about the paranormal and spells and things like that though. At least up till that point.
When the mayor died we had an election and Gideon's dad ran and so did our Grunkle Stan. Ah, we may have wanted Stan to win... a lot and Ford gave us a mind control tie. Then Gideon used a spell to take over his dad's mind. ...it got weird. We learnt not to use mind control when Stan found out and threw the tie out. Gideon tried to kill us ....again and Stan saved our lives when we almost got blown up.
