The University of Manitoba's archives holds the source material used by Canadian actor and screenwriter Dan Aykroyd as the basis for the 1984 blockbuster movie Ghostbusters. The material, donated by Aykroyd's father, includes journals and papers detailing Aykroyd's family's experiences with psychic phenomena and spiritualism.
The 1984 film Ghostbusters stars, from left, Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd , Bill Murray and Harold Ramis. It was written by Aykroyd and Ramis. When there's something strange that you need to research, who ya gonna call? The University of Manitoba's archives is probably the best place to start.
The activities were hosted by Peter's grandfather Samuel Augustus Aykroyd, whose journals and other papers detailing his experiences from 1921 to 1934 were found by Peter in the 1990s, inside a locked trunk. The Aykroyd fonds, which include the "journals, letters and philosophical musings" of Samuel from 1855-1933, are contained in two storage boxes. It is a mix of original items and typed-out copies.

The U of M collection includes messages from beyond — greetings from ghosts that Samuel Augustus Aykroyd gathered during seances.
