The Clock Ghost[2] was a ghost that haunted a clock store.
History[]
The Clock Ghost manifested at a clock specialty store called Clocks Galore. The security guard called the Ghostbusters in to deal with it. At midnight, they attempted to trap it. However, Egon Spengler and the ghost were crossed with each other and shot with Proton Streams, causing Egon to regress to an infant and the Clock Ghost to rapidly age.[3][4] The Clock Ghost appeared the next day in Times Square. It was attacking a watch on a billboard image, trying to stop time, and was visibly getting weaker due to how fast it was aging. The Ghostbusters failed to trap it after setting up an ambush. The ghost sped past the choke point because Egon had regressed even further. The ghost then appeared at a clock factory and destroyed its stock.
With less than an hour left before Egon vanished from existence, the Clock Ghost realized the connection and kidnapped Egon from the Firehouse. The Ghostbusters tracked them to the top of a clock tower in Lower Manhattan. As the Ghostbusters confined the Clock Ghost, Slimer held baby Egon over the open Ghost Trap. As the Clock Ghost was sucked in, it passed through Egon and reenacted the original accident.[5] It worked and Egon was restored to normal (presumably doing the same for the ghost).
Classification[]
There is some inconsistency in the classification of this ghost. When the Ghostbusters first enter Clocks Galore, Egon states it is "at minimum, a Class 5." When he awakens from the accident, Egon asks if they trapped the "little Class 4."[6][7]
Trivia[]
- On the subscription cover of Ghostbusters Volume 2 Issue #18, the Clock Ghost makes a non-canon cameo.
