====Max Durnham====

A former NYC Cabbie present during the rampage of Gozer, Max is not only the stereotypically unflappable, cigar-chomping smartass taxi driver, but he's at least a minor fan of the GBI team, even if he did retire to Boston with his cab, only to become the focus of the first GBI-Boston team's deific encounter...

[[Moishes Occult]]

Located in the basement of a near-tenement, Moishe's Occult is renowned amongst a particular subculture of, if they don't have it in stock, they're able to get it. Moishe himself is seemingly never in, and the place doesn't have an answering machine. Moishe, that old Jewish gentleman, is reputed to claim that artificially recording devices frighten away the spirits. However, the person that always seems to be in is Yanya, Moishe's long-suffering, under-tall wife of over sixty years who seems to be the only person able to not only put up with the ever-absent Moishe as well as his odd little business - and with over seven decades in America, neither she nor Moishe has lost their Yiddish accent or its Russian undertones that date back from the early days of the Bolshevik Revolution.

====Sample conversation with Yanya====

''"No, no, no, no, Moishe took the car, he didn't say where he was going, he didn't take a taxi, if I want to go to the market, I have to take a taxi, and we don't have a dog, but there was someone talking about dogs today, yes, he bought a bag, that's right, and he didn't even barter, Moishe's getting soft in his old ag, that cost eight dollars and Moishe let him walk for only ten, it was worth fifteen at least!"''

===William Johns===
 +
William Johns is the conductor of the Boston Metropolitan Philharmonic Pops Symphony Orchestra, and is the well-known composer of modern classics and movie themes, like the wildly popular Space Wars saga. His entry into the field of Ghostbusting came when the GBI-Boston team were called to control spirits let into the world by the performance of ''Massa Di Requiem Per Shuggay'' at the Metropolitan Opera House. The performance of this particular piece of music would not have been so bad had the orchestra not had the opportunity to refurbish and perform the piece with instruments from the Rickard Wagner estate...

'''Class VI:''' Ghosts from lower life forms. A giant penguin was once seen attacking a mugger in Central Park. Later it was discovered that the penguin was a ghost. Unique solutions are often required to handle these entities, including research into habitats, allergies, natural enemies, etc.

'''Class VII:''' Metaspectres. Obsessively malevolent, exceptionally powerful, and exhibiting control over subordinate forms, such entities are potentially very dangerous. These are often identified by primitive cultures as "Demons". Entitles which fit this classification include Gozer and Zuul. Neutralizing them is usually a problematical undertaking at best. Most standard procedures are futile. The most realistic plan is to take measures to prevent these things from entering the sphere of influence in the first place.
