Here's what we know:
* It's not a guaranteed death: In the movies, we see people possessed by ghosts, but they don't necessarily die. The ghost might just take control of the person's body, as we see with Dana Barrett in *Ghostbusters*.
* The effects can vary: Some ghosts seem to just cause physical harm, like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, while others, like the Scoleri Brothers, can possess and control people.
* The ghost's intention matters: Some ghosts might be out to scare or harm people, while others might have different motives. For instance, the ghost of Vigo the Carpathian wanted to bring back his wife.
So, what happens if a ghost gets you?
It depends on the individual ghost. The most common scenario is likely to be some form of possession or physical harm, but the outcome could vary widely based on the ghost's nature and intentions.
Luckily, the Ghostbusters are there to help! They have the equipment and the expertise to deal with any ghostly situation, and they're ready to bust any ghosts that cross their path.
