Watch Ghostbusters

They decide to turn their expertise in parapsychology into a business by starting a ghost-catching service called Ghostbusters.

As they begin to catch ghosts and gain popularity, they get tangled up in a larger supernatural problem when a strange paranormal energy begins to intensify in the city, causing a variety of hauntings and disturbances. They are soon hired by a wealthy socialite, Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver), whose apartment building is under attack by otherworldly forces.
