Geocache Description:


🚫👻 Yup, this is best known for being in a fictional universe but it is a "Real" place! To Log this Virtual take a picture of the Red Brick Firehouse at the coordinates, preferably with something personal, such as a trackable, your GPS, etc to show you were there. A picture with your face included is not required! Enjoy! 🚫👻

When Groundspeak asked “Who Ya Gonna Give a Virtual 3.0 Reward?”, I was lucky enough to be one of those few geocachers chosen, and when Groundspeak asks if you can put out a virtual reward YOU SAY YES! This location immediately came to my mind …I couldn’t help it, it just popped in there.

Many think this building should never ever ever be condemned. There's serious nostalgia overload in all the load-bearing members, the signal bounce is substandard, it's completely inadequate for most geocacher’s power needs, and the neighborhood is like a GPS dead zone…

But hey! Does that No Ghost sign still work? Wow! This place is great! When can I move in?!

🚫👻 On a mountain of archived hides, in the castle of muggled caches' pain, ChiefGeocacher sat on a throne of pending geocaches! What was pending will be! What is unpublished will be unpublished no more! Now is the season of virtuals! ...thanks Mr NYC Geocaching , aka Jeremy! 😄🚫👻

🚫👻 leckylove came, they saw, they kicked FTF's @*%!!! Congrats!!! 🚫👻

🚫👻 No matter what Dean Yeager says, ferguam knows the kids love us! 🚫👻

🚫👻 NYWanderer realizes suburb hides are safe! Rest stop hides are safe! But Geocaching in NYC is punk rock!!! 🚫👻

🚫👻 GerIRL was just doing a routine spook check 🚫👻

🚫👻 After visiting Lady Liberty Team Gewei knew exactly what we needed to defeat Vigo; they realized we need a symbol. Something that appeals to the best in each and every one of us. Something good. Something decent. Something pure. 🗽🚫👻

🚫👻 Rcapbrain visited the "home office" all the way from Oklahoma!! ...wait, could they be from ...Summerville, Oklahoma? Do you live near a certain "dirt farmer?" 🤔🚫👻

🚫👻 jennthefunkyranger conceived their Geo-name after being slimed: "I feel so funky" 🇬🇧🚫👻

🚫👻 gkduggan stopped by on their way to running an errand in search of a giant Jell-O Mold, I think I saw one downtown at the Museum by the way if you still haven't found one 🚫👻

🚫👻 Perfect Tommy tried to think of the most harmless action hero. Something that could never ever possibly destroy us. Mr. Stay Puft! Love seeing all these pictures btw! Thanks for all the photos! 🚫👻

🚫👻 K-Romers: "No virtual cache is too big! No favorite point is too big!" 🚫👻

🚫👻 This xxSubSeaxx is okay. They're a geocacher. They're in New York. We help get this cacher to 5K finds, we won't have any trouble! 🚫👻

🚫👻 TheCachinJilljeck spotted a (T)errifying! (F)rightening! (T)errible (C)reature! ...we assume, that's the best match we could find with the scant info in Tobin's Spirit Guide 🚫👻

🚫👻 :A rare new virtual pops up in pc10974's Ontario neighborhood: "Drop everything Venkman, we got one" 🇨🇦🚫👻

🚫👻 And dig this, there was a prophecy. Just before Trevelyan77's GPS died, his last words at his first visit to the firehouse years ago were "Archival is but a door. Time is but a window. I'll be back." 🚫👻

🚫👻 Has orginalta been to the firehouse before? Well, no sense in worrying about it now, why worry? Each one of us is carrying an unlicensed nuclear GPS accelerator on their back 🚫👻

🚫👻 "RootsSearcher, are you a God?" 🚫👻

🚫👻 ClammyBird: "RootsSearcher, when someone asks you if you're a God, you say YES" 🚫👻

🚫👻 :xxSubSeaxx suggests NYC to get find #5K:, Marlynne45: “I love this plan! I’m excited to be a part of it! Let’s do this!” 🚫👻

🚫👻 Okay, who brought the dog ...to jasperdakota's profile picture? Cute dog btw, met a pair of pups last week named Vinz and Zuul, not nearly as cute as your pup! 🐾🚫👻

🚫👻 S'il y a quelque chose d'étrange dans ton quartier
Qui vas-tu appeler? Les Hobbits Joufflus! ...je voulais dire: Chasseurs de fantômes! 🇫🇷🚫👻

🚫👻 My friends Tipsy_1 came oh so close to crossing the streams ...of things I love; Dachshunds at the Ghostbusters Firehouse?! Total protonic reversal!! 🐾🚫👻

🚫👻 :nyfishhunter shows up at their local Pond, whips out their phone and plays a few notes from a piano app, gesturing to the fish in the pond: "They hate this. I like to torture them." :nyfishhunter casts their reel: "That's right, boys! It's nyfishhunter!" 🎣🚫👻

🚫👻 Soon the city will be norbert28’s and Vigo’s! …mainly Vigo’s 🚫👻

🚫👻 Since they were a kid Bradfordgull has known when someone asks you if you’re a god, you say ‘YES!’” 🇬🇧🚫👻

🚫👻 Egon: “We’ll cross the streams. There's definitely a very slim chance we'll survive.” Snow Jedi 6: “Never tell me the odds!” 🚫👻

🚫👻 🎸🎶Virtuals to be found, I've learned all my geo lessons before now. Ghosts to be found, Ghostbustin’, you’ll get used to it. ...And Vigo don't get it, you keep it copacetic16, And I have fun writing these I accept it, you know I took a Local H song and hit “edit". And Gozer don't get it, you keep it copacetic16, And you learn to log it, you know you get a “found it” credit 🎶🎸 🚫👻

🚫👻 Happy Birthday Mario McTavish!!! 🥳 I bet as a kid you woulda preferred Winston and Ray instead of He-Man at your birthday party too! 🎂🚫👻

🚫👻 Shadow Medic got slimed!!! That's great! Actual physical contact! 🚫👻

🚫👻 A long, long time ago in a spooky galaxy far, far away: "Hey CinciChewbacca, what do you call a dead Rancor? ...Whatever you want, he can’t hear you" :🥁 ba dum tsss 🥁: 🚫👻

 

🚫👻 A Proton Pack fuel cell has a half life of 5,000 years, I wonder what charge it could hold if it used cosmicfuel? 🤔🚫👻🇦🇹

🚫👻 :hzoi at Ellis Island looking up at the Statue of Liberty: “Hey, how many of you people out here are a national monument? Raise your hand, please? Oh, hello, Miss!” 🗽🚫👻


🚫👻 There is no Zuul, there is only stuwin70 🚫👻🇬🇧
 

🚫👻 I wanted to make a joke about the "Goo" part of Goosnarghpottsies but couldn't find anything GoOoOreat on GOOgle, GOOsh darnit. 🚫👻🇬🇧

🚫👻 :My Brain trying to write out a reference or a joke after learning greenstar2612 hasn't seen Ghostbusters: I'm sorry greenstar2612, I'm shocked beyond the capacity for rational thought. 🚫👻🇩🇪
 

🚫👻 Based on name alone I'm betting Pathfinder_12 is a navigational expert, so they must know the answer to "where do these stairs go?" Pathfinder_12: "They go up" 🚫👻 

🚫👻 dirtytrails took a taxi down to the firehouse, you made it there in one piece so it can't have been *that* taxi driver, right? 🧟‍♂️🚖🚫👻

🚫👻 Don't know if Marie has a Geocaching account and I don't want them to miss out on the fun: Wen kannst du anrufen? Geisterjäger! 🚫👻🇩🇪
 

🚫👻 Hook & Ladder 8, opening the front of the firehouse: "You don't think it's too subtle, viennacache, you don't think people are going to drive down and not see the screen used Ghostbusters 2 sign?" 🚫👻🇦🇹

🚫👻 :Jess and Wipps looking up at street signs on their long long long walk downtown: Jess: "Looks like we're in the teens... somewhere" Wipps: "Well, when we get to Tribeca, tell me... I'm gonna throw up" 🚫👻

🚫👻 :Libellule65, hands on their hips, covered head to toes in marshmallow, as they survey this great city: "I LOVE THIS TOWN!!!" 😃🚫👻🇧🇪

🚫👻 With the name fireflame I had to make a fire fighter joke but I got burnt out trying to decide on which one to use so my ghostly friends tried asking around for me but they had no body to ask :🥁 ba dum tsss 🥁: 🚫👻

🚫👻 Congrats ruthkricheli on your 2nd (and 1st being on I Ain't Afraid of No Ghost!) find! Groundspeak: "To our first customer!" Me: "To our *first* and *second* custumer!" Hope you enjoy geocaching and this is the first of many virtual "ghosts" you find! 🙂🚫👻

🚫👻 Based on their Geo-Name KirklandDominos definitely had dominoes as a kid, but not me, I never had dominoes. I really didn't have many toys tbh.... I had part of a slinky, but I straightened it... 🚫👻

🚫👻 Mandarine86 and family didn't have much free time but still found enough time to stop by the firehouse. Did they enjoy their visit? "Is the atomic weight of cobalt 58.9?" 😏 🚫👻🇩🇪
 

🚫👻 At 12:49 p.m., at the virtual cache of the New York Fire Department Firehouse on North Moore St, SoxPhan witnessed a free-floating, full-torso, vaporous apparition! It blew nanos off lampposts from twenty feet away and scared the “Sox” off of some poor muggle! 🚫👻

🚫👻 Geocache finds sacrificed, dogs and resqcat living together... MASS HYSTERIA! ...cute cat in your profile btw 😻🚫👻🇨🇦

🚫👻 "Tafby, when someone asks you if you're a Lackey, YOU SAY YES!!!" 🚫👻

🚫👻 Als er iets vreemds is in je woonbuurt, Wie ga je dan bellen? Arjan79 en Snoozje! Ik bedoelde... Geestjagers! 🚫👻🇳🇱

🚫👻 ThompsonKickers owns a series of geocaches called the “Love'm or Hate'm Series”, if possible I have this “mood slime” I’d really like to test out if you’d allow your geocache series to be a part of my psychomagnotheric slime experiment 🚫👻

🚫👻 You're short. Your OmbeliCo sticks out too far. And you're a welcome burden on your poor CO who had to come up with something to write here. (You think there’s a connection between this OmbeliCo character and “Ombelico” being Italian for belly button? 🤔) 🚫👻🇩🇪

🚫👻 cougarcach24 and cougarcach24’s Mom... good evening. As a duly designated representative of the City, County and State of New York, I welcome you to enjoy any and all geocaching activity and safely return to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient state when you deem your trip to have successfully and happily concluded. 🚫👻

🚫👻 Still making headlines all across the world, the Ghostbusters are at it again. This time, at the fashionable North Moore Firehouse, "Hook & Ladder 8." Dosäfischer slugged it out with a pretty pesky virtual poltergeist, then watched Afterlife on the flight heading home with some of the lovely geocachers who witnessed the disturbance. This is the Cache Owner, now, on with the geocaching countdown! 🚫👻🇩🇪

🚫👻 ☘️ May the class 5 apparition rise up to meet you. May the proton pack always be on your back. May the capture stream’s glow shine warm upon your face and the trapped ghosts fall soft upon your containment unit fields, until we meet again fitzet. ☘️ 🚫👻🇮🇪
 

🚫👻 :subwaymark touring the MTA tunnel system with me in search of ghosts:

Me: “Well, at least it's too dark to see the cockroaches.”

subwaymark: “Forget about cockroaches. It's the subway rats you gotta worry about. Big as beavers.”

Me, having ridden the subway for well over two decades, having seen such creatures: "...can confirm..." 😳🐀🚫👻

🚫👻 :me after reading Desdorf’s log stating we’re “the Best Cache of NY”: “We're the best cache of New York! We're the beautiful! We're the only... REAL Ghostbusters virtual!” 😎🚫👻🇩🇪

🚫👻 You bonehead muggles are going to come and impede Moosie71 again? They got 5,418 geocaches found here, they got about 10 miles of Manhattan they gotta check, you're gonna come and shake their geocache tree again? 🚫👻🇩🇪

🚫👻 Guizmopuce: “Great souvenirs with this place!”

Me: “Oh, you mean the Ghostbusters hot beverage thermal mug and free balloons for the kids?” 🚫👻🇫🇷

🚫👻 MavERIC76, Your Ghostbustin’ Ego Is Writing Checks Your Proton Pack Can't Cash! MavERIC76 gets extra credit bc I think they’re trying to imitate Mooglie! I know you’re saying to yourself “Talk to me Goose, who’s Mooglie?!” It’s Classified, I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you (Mooglie is the Ghostbusters logo Ghost for those that don’t know! Btw, snuck 4 Top Gun references in bc in terms of what I write in these things, there’s no points for second place) 🚫👻✈️🇫🇷

☝🏻🚫👻 Bonus: I crafted a Ghostbusters (MavERIC76 Edition) logo 🤣🚫👻

🚫👻 I found out zwijgstil’s cacher name might mean “shut up” in Dutch so I checked with my ghost friends to be sure, I’m always cautious not to make boo-boo’s :🥁 ba dum tsss 🥁: 🚫👻🇧🇪

🚫👻 schily would have missed the firehouse if it wasn’t for this virtual… I believe everything happens for a reason… call it fate, call it luck, call it karma… I believe you were destined to visit this firehouse 🚫👻🇩🇪

🚫👻 Hanysek & Hanika met Hook & Ladder (8) 🚫👻🇨🇿

🚫👻 “There is no JoseePat, only Zuul” 🚫👻🇨🇦

🚫👻 "I am Vinz, Vinz tvsbev, Keymaster of Gozer... Volguus Zildrohoar, Lord of the Seboullia...” 🚫👻🇨🇦

🚫👻 Do you believe in UFO trackables, astral GPS projections, traditional cache telepathy, TFTC ESP, letterbox clairvoyance, virtual cache spirit photography, telekinetic trail walking movement, full trance mystery cache mediums, the geocachers “The Leprechauns” and the theory of Geocaching HQ? 🚫👻

 

🚫👻 Has rajalaska ever seen a spook, specter or a ghost? I don’t Juneau the answer, I’ll have to Alaska’m :🥁 ba dum tsss 🥁: 🚫👻

🚫👻 Amazingly I’ve read the reports and can confirm amaliaAK spotted a ghost the night of November 14th to February 12th :🥁 ba dum tsss 🥁: Love the pride flag profile pic btw! 🏳️‍🌈🚫👻

 

🚫👻 I just learned Crantasia refers to a drink but around this town we got only one drink that’s not of this world, so if someone offers you some Hi-C Ecto Cooler you say YES! 🥤🚫👻

🚫👻 geodarts notices the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man hovering over the firehouse: no biggie. Crazy person rants and raves they’re the Keymaster of Gozer: shrugs. Sidewalk stand unabashedly selling spores, molds and fungus: as long as the Health Department gave them an A grade its all good… I don’t know if geodarts is a New Yorker but let me tell you we may have found the perfect New Yorker… only mistake is seeing that apparition and not knowing who to call… ☎️🚫👻

🚫👻 Bonus: bc geodarts is the first geocacher to see a spook, specter or ghost I didn’t waste another minute; I picked up the phone and called the professionals, their courteous and efficient staff is on call 24 hours a day to handle all my supernatural elimination needs ☎️🚫👻

🚫👻 Muggle: "What are you supposed to be, some kind of a cosmonaut?"

mlafortu: "No, we're geocachers. Someone saw a virtual up on North Moore."

Muggle: "That's gotta be some virtual."

mlafortu: "It would favorite point your head off, man" 🚫👻🇨🇦

🚫👻 Damvejen: "Everybody can relax, I found the bicycle. Needs some shifter work and a seatpost. Brakes, brake pads, wheels, rims, spokes, pedals"

Me: "How much?"

Damvejen: "Only $4800. Also new frame, fork, a little cable wiring."

Congrats on the 5BBT! I’ve ridden it every year since 2009! 🚲🚫👻🇩🇰

🚫👻 pinefindsstuff, I really wanted to make a Gravity Falls reference since your name has Pine in it but I can’t get past that disgusting Hot Dog in your Profile pic, *nobody* in the world would eat th— 

…nevermind… 🌭🚫👻

 

🚫👻 UHU15 to my fiancé: "I think it's really great of you that you take care of the CO. You know, you're a real philanthropist."

:My fiancé looking over at me maniacally writing out another geeky referenced filled blurb like I do for every single find on this virtual:

 My fiancé: “I don't think they’re human...” 🚫👻🇩🇪

🚫👻 Welcome to New York Tovekokk! I hope you got to visit Lady Liberty! She’s a short trip away in Battery Park (well, usually at least, there is that one time she walked to the museum, never knew they had Nikes in her size before) 🗽🚫👻🇳🇴

🚫👻 mbaralle was present at an undersea, unexplained mass sponge migration. 🚫👻🇧🇪

🚫👻 I’m having trouble trying to classify El Ritmo Fatal, “the Fatal Rhythm,” perhaps a Class VII Metaspectre? According to Tobin’s Spirit Guide a similar incident occurred in Sunnydale, California on November 6th, 2001… I’ll have to do further research in my books once more with feeling… 💃🏻🎶🕺🏼🚫👻🇨🇭

🚫👻 drewrycian@gmail.com, I saw you needed help busting a local ghost back home but I only know your geocaching name, you didn’t give me any way to actually contact you… anyways, the proton packs are all packed and ready to go once we reach you 😶🚫👻

🚫👻 Great! A Hazmatematician! Listen, we deal with a lot of slime on this job and frankly the EPA has been nagging us about proper disposal of excess ectoplasmic residue, sounds like from your Geocaching name this could be right up your alley, if you want the job you’re hired! ☢️🚫👻

🚫👻 A Narrator (apparently this geocache has one now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯): “The Dead have waited. The day has come. Prepare yourself for the darkest day of horror the world has ever known! The DAYofTH3D3aD!”

:DAYofTH3D3aD and I in the Ecto-1, driving around looking for spooky geocaches:

Me: Hey DAYofTH3D3aD, Do you remember something in the Ghostbusters movies about the last days when the dead would rise from the grave?

DAYofTH3D3aD: I remember the Day of the Dead movie; “And I looked, and he opened the George A. Romero box set, and behold, there was a great zombie uprising. And the HD TV screen became as black as a fake geocache rock, and the blu-ray became as blood."

Me: “And the brains were eaten and the space probe on return from Venus fell."

DAYofTH3D3aD: “Judgement day.”

Me: “Judgement day. But like… a different Judgement Day than Terminator 2: Judgement Day…”

DAYofTH3D3aD: “Every ancient movie has its own myth about the end of the world.”

Me: “Myth?! DayofTH3D3aD, has it ever occurred to you that maybe the reason we've been so busy lately finding spooky geocaches is 'cause the dead HAVE been rising from the grave …to hide new geocaches?”

DAYofTH3D3aD: “…How 'bout a little music?”

Me: “…yeah” :scrolls to Ray Parker Jr's "Ghostbusters" on my Spotify 📻🎶:

P.S. I’m assuming the geocaching name is a Romero reference, and even if it’s not… it’s too fun referencing Romero not to roll with it 😅 🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♂️🧠🚫👻

🚫👻 When it came to designing and building the proton packs there was a lot of consideration taken about the thermodynamics of the proton stream, in the Ghostbustin’ community it’s a hottopic96 :🥁ba dum tsss 🥁: 🚫👻

🚫👻 Happy Happy Joy Joy!! Stimpykt stopped by and logged the virtual!

🚫👻 marijamario218, you have been a participant in the biggest interdimensional cross rip since the Tunguska blast of 1909! (Bonus: I know the log date is 6/9 but marijamario218 messaged me yesterday so I know the actual find date is 6/8, the 38th anniversary of Ghostbusters! Spooktacular!!) 🚫👻

🚫👻 nittanycopa, I know its not a competition so I’m not even going to bring up how Patience & Fortitude are in every conceivable way superior to the Nittany Lion but if you’re ever in Central Park and can avoid all the crazy Gozer worshippers and a 100 ft Marshmallow Man you should check out “Still Hunt,” (the “Central Park Guardian” who has his own virtual!), him and Nittany might be brothers! 🦁🚫👻


🚫👻 rezzysmom: “Who ya gonna call?”

William “Spike” Pratt: “God that phrase is never gonna be usable again is it?” 🚫👻

🚫👻 purplesquirrel1 💜🐿, I was able to get an insider account of how it happened ->

:Whoever at Hook & Ladder 8 that first suggested embracing the movie talking to a Chief about putting up the Ghostbusters sign:

FDNY Chief: “Enough! I get the point! And what if you're wrong?”

H&L8: “If we're wrong, then nothing happens! We'll take the sign down. Peacefully. Quietly. We'll enjoy it. But if we're right, and we can embrace this thing... Chief... you will have enriched the lives of millions of cinema loving tourists.” 🚫👻

That's how I found the Firehouse spot

🎶 
I shot the proton stream straight ahead, trapped the dread and the undead

🚫👻 lem1 knows there's always room for Jell-O! 🚫👻🇵🇦
 

🚫👻 Fun Fact: toomoox78 has seen the Ghostbusters "too" 'moox"vie 78 times... yeah, I know lame joke but it just popped in there, so I'll give you a second one since the "moo" part of your geocaching name makes me think of cows: what do you call a ghost of a cow? ...a BOOvine! 👻🐄😝 ... :🥁 ba dum tsss 🥁: 🚫👻🇫🇷

 

🚫👻 Being New Yorkers, CP590 and I can probably agree being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker’s God-given right… but there’s also a lot of really nice, wonderful and great people in New York too 🙂🗽🚫👻

🚫👻 Kiangara tried telling the Scoleri Brothers they don’t believe in ghosts 🚫👻


🚫👻 I googled what Amante1’s name means and apparently it translates to “lover”, well, all I gotta say is “sono un amante di tutte le cose "Ghostbusters"” (if my Italian is bad blame Google Translate! That’s right, throwing Google Translate right under the bus! …or supernatural locomotive bus? I dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) 🚫👻

🚫👻 ZwickiGibbs: “Movies from my childhood, how can you come to New York and not come here?!” <- I really like this line in your log!

Me: “I'm gonna take back some of the things I said about you, ZwickiGibbs.

[pulls out Nestle Crunch Bar and hands it to you]

“You... You've earned it” 🚫👻

🚫👻 amypond7: “I thought... well, I started to think you were just a madman with a nuclear accelerator strapped to your back.”

Me: “amypond7, there's something you better understand about me, 'cause it's important and one day your life may depend on it. …I am definitely a madman with a nuclear accelerator strapped to my back.”

I’ve only seen a few episodes of Dr. Who and a Rifftrax of the movie “the Five Doctors,” one day maybe I’ll give it more of a try bc a lot of my friends love it, ha 🚫👻

🚫👻 “Have you or your Famof5W ever seen a spook, specter or ghost? If the answer is “yes” don’t waste another minute, pick up the phone and call the professionals!” 🚫👻

🚫👻 Erin1405 thinks the card I’m holding is a couple of wavy lines 🚫👻

🚫👻 :Me showing awwwfs our geocaching facilities: “This is where we put all the virtuals and geo-entities and slimers that we trap. Quite simple really. Load a log here, open, unlock the system. Insert the found log, release, close, lock the system. Set your entry grid, neutralize your field and... the light is green, the find is clean! The virtual ghost is logged here in our custom-made geocaching storage facility.” 🚫👻

🚫👻 After a nice lunch in Chinatown where Morgause_Change was just looking for a reasonable ratio of dumplings to soup, (This is madness!) they stopped by the firehouse before heading up to Central Park, presumably to cap off their night with some roasted marshmallows. 🚫👻🇩🇪

 

🚫👻 kikael hasn’t seen Ghostbusters?! There’s something you don’t see every day… But seriously it’s alright that you haven’t seen the movie before kikael, I’m sure you’ve seen enough references to it over the years that I think people that haven’t seen it pretty much know the basics, ha 😅🚫👻🇪🇪

🚫👻 “The Gozerians are Coming! THE GOZERIANS ARE COMING!!!” 

Hey, it’s Boston’s CO of the Paul Revere virtual cache yervel! As a frequent New England visitor (my fiancé is even the CO of Salem’s Ropes Mansion virtual!) I’ve found that one! 🚫👻

🚫👻 ebb77 is in town studying the effect of positive geocache reinforcement on ESP ability.

P.S. Hope you enjoyed the parade! I didn’t go myself but I did the pride run in Central Park and a pride hockey game in Queens over the weekend 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚫👻

🚫👻 100 FINDS!!! 🥳 "For whatever reasons, call it . . . fate, call it luck, call it karma. I believe everything happens for a reason. I believe that we were destined to make a great virtual geocache out of this firehouse" 

^Me at Ghostbusters Day 2022 @ the Firehouse 🚫👻


THANKS EVERYONE FOR 100 FINDS! I hope everyone is enjoying it so far, and enjoying all the stupid blurbs I write for each find, ha. I've gotten a lot of logs that have me convinced I'm not the only one that loves this building, so I'm looking forward to all the future geocachers who will come here and hopefully enjoy visiting the Firehouse too! Thanks again!!! 😃🚫👻

🚫👻 🎶 Lemme tell ya something, Bustin' makes KulesikW feel good! 🎶 

I obviously love the movie but it has to be one of if not the most iconic movie theme song ever! 😄🎶🚫👻

🚫👻 Me: “Alkoholix, I'm going to ask you a couple of standard questions, okay? Have you or any of your family been diagnosed geocachephobic? Geocaching incompetent?”

Alkoholix: “My uncle thought he found a geocache placed by Saint Jerome.”

Me: “I'd call that a big yes. Uh, are you habitually using geocache hints? Clues in the log? Tip offs in the cache gallery?”

Alkoholix: “No.”

Me: “No, no. Just asking. Are you, Alkoholix, drinking alcohol right now?”

NY Admin: “What has that got to do with it?”

Me: “Back off, man. I'm a scientist.” 😅🚫👻

🚫👻 Goldilocks+2, I met the ghost of the real Goldilocks last night, she told me how she died back in the day, I was shocked to learn she was murdered! She said the killer did it with their bear hands… :🥁 ba dum tsss 🥁: 🐻🥣🐻🥣🐻🥣🤣🚫👻

🚫👻 :sheveck57 looking up at the Firehouse on their architecture tour of NYC: “The structure of this roof cap is exactly like the kind of telemetry tracker that NASA uses to identify dead pulsars in deep space”

:Me, knowing nothing about architecture: “Everybody getting this so far? …So what? I guess they just don't make geocache virtuals like they used to.”

sheveck57: “No! Nobody *ever* made them like this! I mean, the architect was either a certified genius, or an authentic wacko!”

Me: “sheveck57, for a moment, pretend that I don't know anything about metallurgy, geocaching or physics, and just tell me what the hell is going on.”

sheveck57: “You never studied... The whole building is a huge, superconductive antenna that was designed and built expressly for the purpose of pulling in and concentrating nostalgic spiritual movie turbulence. Your virtual geocache lives in the corner penthouse of geocaching’s spook central.” 🚫👻

🚫👻 :FDNY returning to the Firehouse: “Everybody can relax, I found a Fire Truck. -- Needs some suspension work and shocks and brakes, brake pads, linings, steering box, transmission, rear end..." 

Soobo: "How much?"

FDNY: “Only $480,000. -- Maybe new rings, also mufflers, a little wiring."

Soobo: 😳 🚒🚫👻

🚫👻 custardthecat, I could easily use “cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria!”, but that feels too easy so… I figured I’d just tell you about the ghostbustin’ cat I like to bring along on ghost hunts, I often don’t even have to fire up the proton pack to catch the ghost, my cat does all the work! I send my cat in first to talk to the ghost and usually the ghost just gives up! I’ll let you in on the secret why, my cat is very …Purr-suasive! :🥁 ba dum tsss 🥁: 😹🚫👻

🚫👻 Bugsy1905 at a Geocaching Event with a logbook on the table: “oh, wait, wait, I've always wanted to do this!”
:unable to resist trying it out, Bugsy1905 yanks the tablecloth off of the table, breaking everything except the event log:

Bugsy1905: “and the event logbook is still standing!” 🚫👻

🚫👻 Me: “Looking through your hides Long_Lost_Cacher, there’s lots of spooky goodies like “Witche’s Curse”, “Dante’s Inferno” and a “Haunted History Tour”, is there like a lot of ghosts out in Ohio?”

Long_Lost_Cacher holding up a geocache container: “Let's say this Geocache represents all of the Psychokinetic Energy in the Ohio area. According to my measurements, it'll be a Geocache...... 35 feet long and weighing approximately 600 lbs.”


Me: “That's a big Geocache…” 😳🚫
👻

🚫👻 “Geocache finds sacrificed! Pointerdogg and cats living together! Mass hysteria!” 🚫👻

🚫👻 A bunch of Geocachers at HQ looking at *Jeremy*’s profile picture:

Lackey #1: “Wow!”

Lackey #2: “Early Renaissance, I think. Raphael, or Piero della Francesca.”

Lackey #3: “No, I believe it's one of the Fettucines.”

Fun Fact: *Jeremy*’s profile pic is a drawing I did of him when I replaced a log for a cache of his in Staten Island! It went on to become his profile pic, and now his lackey trackable image is derived from that drawing! It’s so cool to have drawn something for a log and years later it’s living on in new and exciting ways!

Anyway, here’s *Jeremy* at the “Blue Switch Crossrip” of 1984

🚫👻 team101 teaches our Ghostbuster Basics 101 class, things such as “the light is green, the trap is green,” how to avoid causing all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light, and finding out whether or not that pole still works 🚫👻

🚫👻 Is it like ‘the maestro lives’? Maybe it’s like ‘the maestro of olives’? I’m fuzzy on the whole live/olive thing. What do you mean by “maestrolive”? 🤔 …but seriously, the more I think about it’s ‘maestro olive’, right? …right? 😳🫒🤣🚫👻

🚫👻 gypc used to roast Stay-Puft marshmallows, by the fire at Camp Wakonda 🏕🚫👻

🚫👻🎶 shellsea8 sells seashells by the seashore,
The shells they sell are seashells, I’m sure.  🎶

🎶 Spengler sells slime gels in the ghost store, the gels he sells are slime gels, from a ghost I’m sure. 🎶🐚🚫👻

🚫👻 VIP Adventurers: “I think we’d better split up”

TAT: “good idea”

mainiac1957: “yeah, we can do more damage that way” 🚫👻

🚫👻 Vip Adventurers always wanted to come here, there’s always been one big question on their mind and they imagine the Ghostbusters are the ones to answer it: How is Elvis, and have you seen him lately? 🚫👻

🚫👻 TAT, I assume, stands for “Thoughtless Apparition Telekinesis”, for like when a ghost moves a chair and like it’s so rude, because you had the feng shui of the room perfectly aligned and now a thoughtless apparition goes and telekinetically moves a chair out of place and throws the whole room out of balance… ghosts can be inconsiderate like that and TAT is trying to raise awareness about this often overlooked aspect of hauntings; it’s not always that they're “scary” or “spooky”, sometimes it’s just that ghosts are ill-mannered, am I right? 🪑🚫👻

 

🚫👻 SweetinyHH believes in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster, and the theory of Atlantis 🚫👻

🚫👻 Terratrix, I’m assuming is like the ghostly plane’s version of a Twix bar, with a commercial for it like “It’s all in the mix, enjoy a Terratrix!,” or “Chew it Over with Terratrix!,” I’ll have to ask Slimer the next time I see that ugly green spud. 🍫🚫👻

🚫👻 Fredsalio’s log says “log to come,” so I’m patiently sitting by my mailbox waiting for a package, I’m assuming from Twin Peaks, because really the best log I can think of is the Log found in that small town. Maybe I’ll enjoy some coffee from the Double R Diner while I wait and wonder aloud ‘would the Log Lady’s log give off a PKE reading?’ ‘Is the Log supernatural?’ ‘Is the Log Lady?’ ‘Both?’ ‘Neither?’ Anyway, if the “log” never comes that’s okay, had a damn fine coffee while thinking about a Ghostbusters / Twin Peaks crossover nobody, until now, knew the world needed 🌲☕️🦉🪵🚫👻

🚫👻 mpstraub, I’m sure it’s obvious but I’m also a big big fan of real life movie locations! Not a fan of the show but nearby is “The One Where We Went To The Friends Apartment ...”, hey, now that I think about it, I got a TV pilot pitch; Ghostbusters in the style of Friends, in the early years when they’re trying to start the business up, I got the theme song all finished up!

🎶 So no one told you ghostbusting was gonna be this way 🎶

🎶 Your paranormal studies' a joke, you're broke 🎶

🎶 Your university life's DOA 🎶

 🎶 It's like you're proton pack’s always stuck in second gear 🎶

🎶 When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month

Or even your year, but 🎶

 🎶 Ray’s parent’s house will be there for you 🎶

🎶 (You’ll never gonna regret this, Ray) 🎶

🎶 Ray’s parent’s house will be there for you 🎶

🎶 (Everybody has three mortgages these days) 🎶

🎶 Ray’s parent’s house will be there for you 🎶

🎶 (And the 19% interest rate will be there for you too) 🎶

Oh… my… god… it’s fantastic! Hey TV execs, how YOU doin?! Amirite, we got a deal on a pilot? 🤣📺🚫👻

🚫👻 baucontor collects spores, molds, and fungus. 🚫👻

🚫👻 Platonova got me thinking of the Plato quote “courage is knowing what not to fear”… 

A Class-5 Full-Roaming Vapor? Annoying for sure but nothing more than a disgusting blob. A River of slime underneath the city? Positively charge it, add it to a toaster and oh, baby! Oh, you're my number one Christmas boutique gift item! …A 50 ft Marshmallow Man? …I'm sorry. I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought… 😶🚫👻

🚫👻 Patojen hasn’t seen the movie but is now interested in checking it out; Patojen and a Blu-Ray of Ghostbusters? We *have* to get these two together 🚫👻

🚫👻 After a successful day of geocaching yohaeva stopped in at the pub while waiting for the bus; “it’s Miller time!” 🍻🚫👻

🚫👻 aylondorfman is always serious 🚫👻🤟🏻

🚫👻 WesleysWarriors, come out to play-i-ayyyyy…. When it comes to Ghostbustin’, WesleysWarriors are good. Real good. The best. Can you dig it? 🚫👻

🚫👻 crystaloops, a fellow Atlas Quest letterboxer! They know the nearby letterbox wouldn’t be a “hide,” it’d be a “plant”; maybe one day letterboxing will bloom more than it currently has out here, I’ll never stop be-leafing that one day letterboxing will take root and the young kids will be out letterboxing and some old folks will be like “a stamp?! I just don’t get it” and the kids will be like “Okay Bloomer” 🪴🤣🚫👻

🚫👻 BubbaZinetti: Hello

Me: Hello, I'm Saves. Where are you from? …Originally. 🚫👻

🚫👻 :estercj writes the same *exact* log of one word (“hello”) as BubbaZinetti did right before them… me reading the found log and asking around to my fellow geocache owners:

Me: “This happen to you before?

:Geocache owners collectively shake their heads “No”:

Me: “Oh. First time?” 🚫👻

🚫👻 heikeoli2 thinks the spirit of a 17th century Moldavian tyrant is alive and well in a painting at the Manhattan Museum of Art 🚫👻
