Host Peter McCully chats with Sean Jamieson, a mild-mannered Financial Planner during the week and B.C. Ghostbuster Super Fan on the weekends.

Jamieson got started in the group when his wife hired the group to join them for his birthday, after attending a movie at a local theatre.

Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥˜They kidnapped me at the end of the movie, put me in a jumpsuit, and put me in the Ecto One, and took me out into the public to do some Ghost Busting. We ended up at a mall in Langley. Where we couldnÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t take two steps without everybody coming up wanting to take pictures.Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™

The B.C. Ghostbusters are not unique fan group, there are hundreds of groups around the world, says Jamieson.

Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥˜There are multiple chapters in many provinces and many states, I donÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t think every province has a chapter registered yet, but thereÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s certainly Ghostbusters in every province and hundreds of chapters across the U.S. and around the world. There are some countries that have really taken this by storm. Singapore, for example, has thousands of members in their Ghostbusters chapters, and they all showed out in force. Back when the 2016 Ghostbusters movie came out, they showed up at the premiere all in costume.Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™

The B.C. Ghostbusters make appearances at various events and have been known to make appearances at childrenÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s birthday parties.

Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥˜Last year we were asked to come out and do an appearance at a five-year oldÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s birthday party,Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™ says Jamieson. Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥˜It was outdoors in a park. When we showed up at the park, the area where the picnic was being set up for the party was already all decorated. And everything was Ghostbusters. The tablecloth was Ghostbusters. The streamers in the trees were Ghostbusters. there was flags everywhere. Ghostbusters, this little boy was full GhostbusterÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s jumpsuit wearing his proton pack already. This guyÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s five. This movie came out in 1984 and this guy knows all the lines and heÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s five! He was so excited to see us.Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™

B.C. Ghostbuster appearances are for charity donations to S.P.C.A., B.C. Cancer Society and B.C. ChildrenÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s Hospital.
