Something strange is happening in this Oregon neighborhood.
Sony and vacation rental company Vacasa have teamed up to offer a brave group of friends an exclusive three-night stay at Ghostbusters Firehouse.
The building, recreated from the 1984 film “Ghostbusters,” is in Portland, not New York City, where the film takes place. But it's still the perfect place to start a ghost catching business.
The three-story fire station has all the essentials: a PKE meter, ghost traps, proton packs, an aura video analyzer, and an ectocontainment unit to store any evil spirits you catch. Ecto-1, the Ghostbusters vehicle, is even parked in the firehouse bay.
Visitors can wear the famous Ghostbusters fighting costumes and eat Stay Puft marshmallows, among other spooky activities. Just try not to make eye contact with the cursed painting of “Vigo the Carpathian,” the main antagonist of 1989’s “Ghostbusters II.”
“We're dedicated to the details, and this Ghostbusters fire station in Portland is no exception,” Allison Lowrie, Vacasa's marketing director, told CNN.
“Each room brings a new discovery, from an interactive Ghost Containment Unit to symmetrical stacks of books and walls upon walls of scientific ghost-hunting equipment. “It is designed to be enjoyed by both Ghostbusters superfans and travelers with a feeling of '80s nostalgia.”
The immersive experience will take place from October 28 to 31, the perfect time of year to lift your spirits.
Guests brave enough to book the three-night stay can do so on October 21 at 10 a.m. PT for a nightly rate of $19.84. That rate was chosen in honor of the year Ghostbusters debuted, Vacasa said in a news release. The experience is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so mark your calendars.
And fear not, even if you can't stay at the firehouse, you can still take a Matterport 360 virtual tour of the building in the rental listing.
