👻🚫 Who Ya Gonna Call? 👻🚫 Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

Chris Saves: The container might be there still but there’s no real way to know without removing the piles of debris tossed in the GZ... I’ll admit the GZ wasn’t the best of the best but Staten Island did all it could to make it pretty unusable at the moment without significantly changing the hide... sad to say but although I’ll look for it again in winter to collect the cache remains this ghost is toast...

Geocache Description:

This is a fairly easy "ghost" to catch but the stamp of this letterbox is kinda a unique "print-making" style experiment for me, the cache consists of TWO hand-carved stamps: Stamp the one marked "1st" with Red Ink, then line up the stamp marked "2nd" as best as you can (if you trace the edges of the 1st one with a pencil during part 1 I find that easiest!) and stamp it over the first impression you've made!



Paranormal File#GB060884/100033

As the description above states: this is an easy "ghost" to catch but if you choose to use the stamp please USE THE STAMPS IN THE CORRECT ORDER AND WITH THE CORRECT COLOR! Not doing it the correct way will muddy up the red ink pad and take away from the effect! I recommend taking your time using the two stamps. If you stamp the first one you can trace the outline of the 1st stamp while it is still on the paper with a pencil which should make it easier for you to line up the second stamp later on! Since this is a different idea for a stamp if you use the stamp let me know how your print came out!


...my original stamp carving ideas were much more intricate and complicated...

I've been thinking of some new stamp ideas and basically I carved, mounted and hid this particular stamp all today, ha. Yesterday was the first day of my week off so I sat down ready to start carving out a tribute cache I hope to put out this week when I realized I'd left my carving tools in my locker in Manhattan... •_•


My first Ghostbusters hide outside of Manhattan! ...the muggles in the city are cRaZy...

So the next day I figured I have a really cool stamp I carved last year based on one of my favorite movies, I'll put that out as a hide to get my mind off of leaving my carving tools in my locker; I look around and I realize the stamp I'm thinking of is also in Manhattan... in my locker... •_•


Unlicensed Nuclear Carving Accelerators....

...so... I bought a new set of tools and carved out the same stamp ...but since I'd already done that I figured I'd experiment and make it a little differently...

They came, they saw, they kicked its #%^ found the letterbox! Congrats to Looking 4 Secrets for FTF!


Bonus: today is my birthday! My mom sent me this photo (of a photo...) today, coincidentally while I was carving a GB stamp... guess some things are still the same, ha.
