A woman inflated a 13ft Stay Puft man inside her house and deeply, deeply regretted it

But alas, there were no Ghostbusters to call.

After an arduous night of editing her new book, historian Marie Hicks decided to cheer herself up by inflating her new Ghostbusters Halloween decoration.

The Marshmallow Man took over her living room in a matter of minutes, knocking over stuff and blocking Hicks’ way to the very plug that was causing the devastation.

Hicks’ pictures of the incident went viral on Twitter, and the “Who you gonna call?” started pouring in – but she says the whole thing has given her a “new appreciation” for the scene in the film.
