POST SHOW: GHOSTBUSTED!
The Ghost Extinguisher by Gelett Burgess from Cosmopolitan Magazine, April 1905.
*Content Warning: there are elements of racism in this short story.

Did we accidentally discover the real inspiration behind the Ghostbusters movie?
An excerpt: "My assistants with the extinguishers stood firm, and although almost unnerved by the sight, they summoned their courage, and directed simultaneous streams of formaldybrom into the struggling mass of fantoms."..."Luckily the night was calm, and I was enabled to fill a dozen cylinders with the precipitated ghosts."
