25 Things You Didn't Know About Ghostbusters
3. Dan Aykroyd Has A History With Ghosts
Coming up with Ghostbusters probably wasn't much of a stretch for Dan Aykroyd, especially when you consider his families ties with the beyond that stretch back for generations.
In fact, the man who would go on to be Ray Stantz, is actually a fourth-generation ghost hunter and Ufologist, which is something he dedicates his time to now that he's more or less retired from the movie business.
Aykroyd still lives in the family farmhouse, the same one that his grandparents used to host seances, although he claims since reaching adulthood, he has never been bothered by and ghouls while relaxing at home.
Elsewhere, at Dan's other properties, things are a little different. Over the years, he claims to have been up close and personal with the ghost of Mama Cass, who has haunted the actors former LA bungalow. Dan's father, Peter, also released a book on the subject back in 2009.
