Version 3.1

Revised and compiled with new info by Dr. Riddle (10/03/03).

List originally complied by: Cindy Rancourt, and posted at Labidolemur's Ghostbusters Fan Fiction Review and then modified by contribution from RBG gen Fan Fiction list.

DEDICATION
"I dedicate this list to two parties, my good friends who either helped me on this insane task or simply posted on a day to day basis on the message boards, and the people who created the Ghostbusters phenomenon for which this fact list attempts to chronicle every fact concerning the Ghostbusters, their tools and their talents."
-Ben King, A.K.A. Kingpin

Special Thanks: Dr. Riddle and Fritz Baugh for helping provide info and insights into the guys, this updated list wouldn't be here today without your help!

Compiler's Note:
The current facts are gathered from the Ghostbusters movies, Real and Extreme Ghostbusters and the Real Ghostbusters Comics by NOW Comics. I have chosen which facts were worth mentioning and have tried my best to leave out facts that contradict. Cindy Rancourt compiled the original list.

Updated Dec. 10, 2007: At long last, facts from the Ghostbusters: Legion comics from 88MPH Studios and the Ghostbusters: The Return novel have been added. As these works were not created with the RGB/EGB continuity (or each other) in mind, they have been placed in seperate sections. Many of the facts therein would conflict with the earlier continuity, and fan fictions based on it; I've tried to note those conflicts as much as possible.
