Electronic Wisps are images manipulated by a ghost. The machines they come out of spawn them. Destroy the machines, destroy the Wisps.

Tobin's Summary[]

Since the advent of cinema I've seen ghosts that can take advantage of the ethereal nature of the moving picture, removing images from the screen and making them move about, terrifying and sometimes harming the innocent. This is either an advanced form of telekinesis that manipulates the very light that composes the images, or a psychomanipulative ability, making the victims believe they are being assaulted by images they were previously viewing on screen.

Egon's Notes:[]

Since this was written, further advances in visual media have meant ghosts can now use the television and more recently video games as a medium of control. All of the readings we've taken seem to assert the author's first hypothesis that these are indeed manipulations of the physical world and not a trick of the senses.

Ray's Tips:[]

Even brief contact with the Blast Stream will vaporize these. Try Boson Darts if you get swarmed heavily, but because they lack a physical form, they will eventually fizzle out on their own.

Supplemental Data[]

The art page can be found in Times Square, during the "Goin' Up!" section. It is hidden inside a beanbag chair in the looping hallway where a Construction Ghost hides in various objects.

Description[]

The Electronic Wisp's all had highly diverse appearances.

  • One resembled how a ghost is depicted in animation.
  • One resembled a hamburger.
  • One resembled a boxer in white boxing shorts, and red boxing gloves.
