You’ve heard the expression, “raining cats and dogs,” but have you seen it rain frogs, brimstone, blood, or literally cats and dogs? Whatever it is, he’s seen it. Adams is an expert in meteorological paranormal phenomena, making him our PARANORMAL METEOROLOGIST. Whether it’s weather as simple as a common sharknado or complex as a biblical plague, you want this man on your side whenever a portal to a parallel dimension opens up over your city.

You want to see the face of fearlessness? She’s our EQUIPMENT GUINEA PIG. Some of the stuff our engineer can cook up seems more dangerous to hang from your belt than facing down a horde of metaspectres. Ghosts don’t stand a chance.

Ghosts come in all shapes and sizes. They also come in all manner of levels of intelligence. One thing they all know? It’s best to not mess with our TACTICAL ADVISOR AND OPERATIONS CONSULTANT. His paranormal elimination technique isn’t good enough for government work: It’s better. That’s why he’s with us in the private sector, expecting and getting results.
“If it’s not on fire, we didn’t try hard enough.”
Bob “Bubbles” Anderson

We’re not 100% sure which Bob Anderson this is. There was a multi-dimensional crisis at one point and we lost a lot of them (almost an infinite amount), but the one we’ve still got is a keeper and our OCCULT/CRYPTID SPECIALIST. He’s an expert on legends, lore, and the supernatural, so much so that he hosts his own radio show/podcast, Bob After Dark. The team often calls on his advice to help dispose of whatever entity they’re facing, but when a situation gets real bad? He’ll come down from the Windy City and take care of it himself.
“Oh, hey there!”

Tactician, Marine, snappy dresser, strategist, all these words describe our TEAM LEADER. We swear we once saw him yell at a ghost until it got in the trap. Our battle ready franchise founder is ready to serve all of Indy’s supernatural elimination needs. And one day, he’ll find that witch who turned him into an immortal puppet.

Doesn’t really need to say much, his expression can pretty much tell you what you need to know. A bit cynical, a dash of dry humor, and a love for Chinese food with always room saved for jell-o.
“Is that really necessary?”

Everyone has a first day on the job and in Indianapolis, that’s when you’re given the manual from our TECHNICAL GHOST WRITER. Ghosts can’t escape with her by-the-book capture style, which is easy for her as she wrote the book… and edited it. Gotta put that English degree to use somehow. In the field, her knowledge of standard operations is clutch and she has more than once prevented her trigger-happy colleagues from going boom via total protonic reversal.
“Hey there! I’m sorry, but you’ve got your proton pack on upside-down…”

He insists on field work because he prefers to obtain his own samples, but if you’ve got a vial of slime or demon’s tooth that needs analyzed, our SENIOR ECTOPLASMOLOGIST (and part-time GRAPHIC DESIGNER) won’t say no. He’s not very strong, really near-sighted, kind of shy, and tends to be a little reckless, but his knowledge in the field of paranormal chemistry is top tier. His design work ain’t too shabby either.
“I stored some petri dishes in the fridge in the break area and um… All your lunches are trying to kill me now. Look, I’m just as unhappy about this as you are.”

Andrew has been keeping Indiana safe since flip phones were all the rage. As your SKEPTIC WRANGLER, he’ll happily pretend none of this is real with the skeptics and non-believers while the team does their work, then charge them five big ones or else we’re putting that thing right back in there.
“You’re right. Ghosts aren’t real, but if you don’t pay up it stays here.”
Josh Chitwood
Dimension of Origin: 68-F

Neither the squeal of a wild banshee, nor the squeal of a rocking guitar scares Josh. Our PARANORMAL RECON SPECIALIST as deadly accurate with his proton stream as he is with the neck of a guitar. Look out for him on the hunt for a haunt in your neighborhood or at your local bar making the ladies who witnessed the disturbance dance the night away.
“The Cadillac guitar IS a business expense. I’m going to figure out how to make it shoot a particle stream when I play it.”

Do you know how hard it is to get 35 year old equipment to continue functioning? Not real hard if he can do it. Our team ENGINEER is constantly repairing, building, and rebuilding equipment so Circle City Ghostbusters can bring you the newest and oldest (but still terrifying) means to dispose of any unwanted abject horror.
“It exploding was a feature… probably.”

We wouldn’t be getting to jobs without our ECTOMOBILE OPERATOR. Not only does he help keep the team’s fleet of vehicles up and running, but he has more than once been called upon to outdrive phantom racers that haunt the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
“Get in the cah.”
Jeff Himes
Dimension of Origin: 68-F
Date Hired: 24 February 2019
RESIDENT MECHANIC and “jack of all trades,” Jeff Himes has a storied and eclectic background. He has been known to do everything around the HQ from fixing a faulty nutrona wand to unclogging the toilet in Larry’s office (editor’s note: Larry’s office is, in fact, the men’s lavatory). One of the few members of the team not to have a string of letters behind his name (unless you count mugshots), Jeff gained much of his knowledge and experience through trial and error. “I may not have a fancy degree,” said Mr. Himes, “but, I gotta pry bar says I can fix just about anything.” When not working on the team’s beloved Ecto-1H or assisting Dr. Farnsworth on experimental projects deemed too “risky” by other members of the team, Jeff prefers to spend his time tinkering with new equipment and reading up on the latest in theoretical, paranormal detection and entrapment gadgetry.
“Stantz has some great ideas on the future of the business and, of course, Spengler was a genius beyond my comprehension. Farnsworth? Don’t get me wrong, the guy does great work. But, he’s also a d***.”
Viet Le
Dimension of Origin: 68-F
Date Hired: 6 May 2018
Viet had always had a fascination with things that went bump in the night. He is an OCCULTIST in both eastern and western thought, demonologist, tarot reader. His own encounters with the paranormal led him to the Circle City Ghostbusters after traditional methods of ghost-busting proved ineffective on a case he was working on his own. His current research as the team’s REMOTE ECTOPLASMOLOGIST keeps him pretty busy, but not so much that he doesn’t look at a grimoire every now and again.
“I’m not saying that the traditional methods are not without merit, but have you tried trapping a Class VI in a salt circle?”

Needing to save a little money? Better talk to THE WORLD’S CHEAPEST GHOSTBUSTER. This man knows his way around legendary monsters as much as he knows where to get the next best deal. He’s resourceful as both a CRYPTOZOOLOGIST and penny pincher. His favorite word is “FREE.”
“If you can wrangle kids then you can wrangle a ghost.”
Cole Seger
Dimension of Origin: 68-F
Date Hired: 6 April 2019
Known for having “something come up” just before the dangerous jobs, you can usually find SEGER on the smaller busts, or showing back up after the larger ones. What he lacks in timeliness, he makes up for by always having a backup plan.
“Yeah, I could’ve told you that would be dangerous.”
