My Ghostbusters Ghost Trap

Interesting story behind this one. Around march I stopped working on my Proton Pack to work on my Ghost Trap, the result was a trip to the emergency room in a Blizzard and seven stitches in my left hand. Let that be a lesson to used the right tools for the job. But fortunately Colin Russel of MultiMediaMayhem was generous enough to sell me a near completed stunt trap and a few odds and ends. This is the result after making a few modifications:






When I got the trap, the doors didn't open, so I replaced them with doors that did. This gives me not only a place for the 9 volt battery for the electronics but also a small speaker attached to an old MP3 Player, that'll give me the sound effect of a Ghost trapped inside. Maybe next year I'll had a vibration as well to simulate it trying to get out. Like a Matty trap.

The Trap Pedal is made from bits and pieces I had laying around. Not accurate but for something that's just going to be worn around my waist and not seen up close I think it looks okay.
