I used to have a picture featuring said trap (which I had photoshopped to look like we were capturing the betfair mascot whilst trying not to ‘cross the streams’), but I’m afraid it’s been lost in the digital ether.

It wouldn’t have been very good at holding beer.

We left them open to the readers’ imagination (forgot).

To be clear, the Freddie-Kallis experience was something that all of us shared on that trip, whereas the Eric Hollies nightmare was just Nigel and Charles.

Respect to A P Webster for joining the Ghostbuster community on one occasion, btw. Does a ghost trap fashioned from an old shoe box look anything like “The Device”. I think it should.

One of the intriguing things about Nigel and Charles’s recollections of their extra day is that neither of them now reminisce about witnessing “that” over from Freddie to Kallis. When they first returned from their Hollies experience it was all about that.

All but one of our group were dressed as Ghostbusters, one of us was dressed normally, which made him look out of place during the game but then made me look out of place when he and I went for a pint at Sinclair’s Oyster Bar after the match.

We got a lot of strange comments at the match – it turned out there had been a separate group of Ghostbusters at the match the previous day, who had been a bit overly raucous, and many people assumed we were the same group (I guess all Ghostbusters look the same to them…). It’s not clear whether the other group had home-made name badges and a ghost trap fashioned from an old shoebox, but we did.
