History[]

Primary Canon History[]

Ghostbusters II[]

While Elaine had a drink at the bar in the Paramus Holiday Inn, an alien supposedly approached her and talked to her. The alien bought her a drink then forced her to follow him to his room.[2] Once in the room, the alien told Elaine about the end of the world. The alien claimed the event would happen on February 14, 2016.[3]

After the incident, Elaine told her husband about it. She later booked an appearance on an episode of "The World of the Psychic" after a telekinetic man canceled and presented her prediction the end of the world would take place on February 14, 2016. Peter was bummed that was Valentine's Day. He asked her where she got her date from. She claimed this information was relayed to her by an alien and retold the story of the encounter. She speculated the alien used some kind of a ray or a mind control device on her then forced her to follow him to his room. Peter stared directly into the camera. He was skeptical to say the least. Elaine revealed the alien then told her about the end of the world. Peter pursed his lower lip and asked if the alien had a room at the Paramus Holiday Inn. She speculated it could have been a room on the spacecraft made up to look like a room at the Holiday Inn. She was not sure. Peter stood up and walked forward to wrap up the episode. He pointed out the whole problem with aliens was you just could not trust them. He did admit there was occasionally a nice one like Starman and E.T. but usually they turned out to be some kind of big lizard then he wrapped up the episode.

IDW Comics[]

Elaine appeared on Episode 32 of "The World of the Psychic" and told Peter about her prediction of the end of the world on February 14, 2016. Around the time when some of the Ghostbusters were on assignment in Venice, Egon Spengler was unable to locate a copy of "The Johansen Argument" at the New York City Public Library. As he was leaving, Egon called up Ray's Occult Books. Elaine happened to be walking past the library steps.
