1. Act I: The Haunting of Ray's Occult Books

With the help of his husband Egon's ghost, Dr. Ray Stantz has to save the world...again.

It begins with books.

One morning, Ray comes downstairs from his apartment above the shop and finds a perfectly balanced, 6 foot 2 inch tall, symmetrical stack of books in the dead center of Ray's Occult Books.

"No human being could stack books like this," he remembers Venkman saying at their first ever haunting, the NYC Public Library.

6'2" was exactly Egon's height.

One inch taller than Ray. The perfect height for kissing.
