Steven's Hall Haunting FAIRBANKS- At the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, the residence life office has called in the ghostbusting team. Apparently a room in Steven's Hall is haunted. It has been sealed off from the other residents and the ghostbusters are the only outsiders to enter the room. "We haven't solved the case yet" Jessie Desmond said. "We plan on overnighting there to see what we can catch." More news when this case unfolds. [Fairbanks Daily News Miner. Feb. 14, 2001.

The university wishes to withhold information about the case. "These ghostbusters put on a good show" The Chancellor said. "I just don't know if what they did really worked. It cost us a pretty penny and we have some damage to repair." The damage is fairly great. A desk was thrown into the window, breaking part of the wall and the entire window. Both dorm chairs were broken. The holes in the walls are reportedly huge. "The university didn't want to take out all the normal dorm things, like the beds and desks" Jessie Desmond replied. "We told them that damage was possible. Damage happened." Case File [Fairbanks Daily News Miner. Feb. 19, 2001. B1] Ghostbusters Do It Again The Ghostbusters have done it again by claiming to have five cases to solve within a period of two days. This might not seem like a big deal to most people, but to the Ghostbusters, it's another story. "Usually we'll get five cases a month, not in two days" Jessie Desmond, franchise owner, said. "It must have something to do with the change of seasons or something. We're looking into how the weather effects ghosts. I can't really give any details on it right now." Following the Ghostbusters on a minor case, what they call a 'class two, free floater', this reporter has seen what type of work is involved. They do things like dealing with the public, investigations, collecting supernatural evidence, and finally taking out the ghost. Their team work and full effort they put through on the case was professional and inexcusibly effecient. Do you know who to call? I do. [Fairbanks Daily News Miner. June. 14, 2001. B3] Nanto, Leaving Ghostbuster Team Lizzy Nanto, original Ghostbuster for the Alaskan franchise, has decided to leave the Ghostbuster team. Nanto has been with the company since it opened in 1998. She says that she wants to be more involved with her studies at the University of Alaska, but hopes to re-join the team within a few years. "You know, I really love ghostbusting. I have fun, I work well with everyone, I love figuring out what's going on, but there is a point at which you have to say 'which do I choose? School or Ghostbusting?'" Lizzy Nanto said. "I know the others aren't too excited about me leaving the team, but I'll still be around if they need extra help." The other group members all declined to comment claiming that they weren't in the mood for talking about the subject. It was apparent that they all felt a little heart broken over their friend's departure. [Fairbanks Daily News Miner. Oct. 27, 2001. B2] Santa Claus House Ghost Christmas. A time for holiday cheer, egg nog, and perhaps a few ghosts. This year at the Santa Claus House in North Pole, the Ghostbuster team had to capture two ghosts. It was reported that the ghosts did about $3000 in damage to the building and sent three people to the hospital. "These two guys were really tearing up the place" David Gutbrod said. "When we got there, there was glass and ceramic everywhere." The ghosts took out most of the products at the Santa Claus House, but the employees and owners were glad to be rid of them. "I never did like the idea of real ghosts and these ghostbusters, but they did help us out. For that I'm really grateful" The owner of the Santa Claus House said. [Fairbanks Daily News Miner.
