History
Primary Canon History
Ghostbusters II
While Elaine had a drink at the bar in the Paramus Holiday Inn, the alien approached her and talked to her. The alien bought her a drink. Elaine then speculated the alien used some kind of a ray or a mind control device, then forced her to follow him to his room. Once in the room, the alien told Elaine about the end of the world. Elaine conceded the room might have been a room on the alien's spacecraft made up to look like a room at the Holiday Inn.
After the incident, Elaine told her husband about it. She later appeared on an episode of "The World of the Psychic," and presented her prediction the end of the world would take place on February 14, 2016. She claimed this information was relayed to her by an alien and retold the story of the encounter. Peter Venkman was skeptical to say the least.

Peter Venkman says: "Hi, we're back, I'm Peter Venkman and I'm chatting with three lovely ladies tonight, each of whom claims to have had sexual relations with alien beings. Now without getting into any of the gory details, let me ask you, Elaine, did you maybe do something, or were you wearing anything that might have given your alien the idea that you were--you know--available or interested?"
