Doctor Francis Mally of Flaherty College's Department of Perceptual Studies interviews a patient who may need more than a few sessions of talk therapy. Enter Parapsychologist Benjamin Nilsson (Ph.D; Para.D), a lifelong aspiring ghostbuster, with experience studying how the human brain interacts with the spirit world and other states of consciousness. Together, they find themselves on the brink of an incredible, if uncomfortable, scientific breakthrough involving conspiracy theories, doomsday asteroids, and even DEMONIC POSSESSION! Tetherton's Folly places the first candidates for a Ghostbusters academic franchise license at the beginning of a new adventure into the world of the paranormal! (Rated PG-13 for suggestive language)

This is the pilot episode for an audio mini-series "Franchise Rites," coming soon from the Ghostbusters Fan Organization "Ghost Signal Corps." (www.franchiserites.com)

A flashback to the "wilderness years" between the end of Extreme Ghostbusters and the "Answer the Call" reboot - 2012 marked the year host of the prolific and informative pop culture podcast "The Chronic Rift" John S. Drew talked to Jay and "Mr. Sci-Fi" Marc Scott Zicree (author of some of the best episodes of The Real Ghostbusters) about the legacy of the franchise and why the animated series was so important to the enduring appeal of the original concept developed by Ivan Reitman, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis.  Zicree talks about the process of writing stories for The Real Ghostbusters back in the 1990s as one of the key writers under J. Michael Straczynski while Jay manages to hold back most of his fanboy glee talking about what the series meant to him growing up. Fortunately, no hosts or screenwriters were roasted in the depths of the Sloar that day. Thanks to John Drew for allowing RFG to use this interesting conversation.

Aspiring journalist Jill Woodbine finds herself fending off the undead as she seeks both shelter and the source of a global zombie outbreak. Seeking shelter in a House and Garden warehouse (HG World), Jill finds herself in a potentially more hostile environment and it gets worse as she inches closer to the truth about the outbreak.

Days after their escape from Slim Shimmers, one of our heroes makes their way to HG World for an unknown reason. She seeks shelter and is granted access to the dark and sinister place that the refuge has become.

Inside and outside HG World, things are changing. The undead are no longer just mindless eaters. A cult of humans is nurturing the dead, nurturing their intelligence, and improving their abilities. The UNNDD team undergoes a risky mission to unveil the truth at the core of the Zombie Uprising. *This was originally written as a supplement and diverges from the style and format of the main series.

A small town in northwestern Pennsylvania nestled in a secure valley prepares for the inevitable arrival of the undead. Some are still in denial, others preparing to fight, and others see an opportunity to profit from the outbreak. Most of Wishwell is hiding in a House & Garden Warehouse (HG World) which is stranger and more sinister than most of its refugees know.
