History[]

Primary Canon History[]

Ghostbusters II[]

Milton Angland had a strong psychic belief that the world was going to end on New Year's Eve 1989.[3] In order to inform the public as quickly as possible, Angland wrote a book called, "The End of the World."[4] Milton booked an appearance on an episode of "World of the Psychic" to promote it after a telekinetic man canceled. Peter immediately talked about the book and asked him if he was willing to reveal the ending. Milton obliged him and predicted the world was going to end at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. Peter inquired if he meant in the current year. Milton confirmed. Peter joked that was cutting it a little bit close. He clarified he meant just from a sales point of view and he was not going to see any paperback sales for at least a year and it would be at least another year he got a mini-series or movie-of-the-week deal. Peter played Devil's Advocate and proposed 1992 instead. Milton told him to wait. Peter settled on 1994 as a better choice. Milton exclaimed and stated the book was not a money-making scheme and he had a strong psychic belief that the world would end on New Year's Eve. Milton pressed his finger to his forehead and began to look visibly shaken. He exhaled and adjusted his coat. Peter's jovial tone shifted back to serious and hoped he was right for his own sake but revealed his other guest Elaine had another date in mind. It turned out that he was almost right, but the Ghostbusters defeated Vigo on the predicted date.

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. Milton happened to be walking past the library steps.
