Soon, supernatural phenomena begins occurring all over town, leaving Callie, Phoebe and Trevor – whose grandfather Egon was a member of the long-forgotten group known as the Ghostbusters – along with their new friends, including school teacher Mr. Grooberson (Rudd), to solve a decades-old mystery and adopt the Ghostbusters’ technology to deal with the spooky threat…
