## Notes

* This season would have many references to *Ghostbusters.*
* Judd mentions that the barriers that protect his recovery home were built by a Dr. Sullivan, who had survived paranormal encounters of his own. This is a direct callback to **Power Rangers Night Terrors**. I like to consider *Ghost Hunters* to be a semi-sequel to that season.
