The Ghostbusters have traditionally protected New York City, but Chicago may be in need of some proton pack-wielding paranormal investigators (it doesn't really matter if they're male or female). Yesterday, a Reddit user posted a photo taken in River North which depicts a giant inflatable Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man hanging out on top of a building. While the balloon doesn't appear to be possessed by the evil god Gozer, there's always the chance that it could become 100 feet tall and starts trampling the city.
If we're lucky, this manifestation of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man will prove to be as harmless as the version depicted in the most recent Ghostbusters film. Keep your eyes peeled for ectoplasm—at this rate, it's only a matter of time before Vigo the Carpathian shows up at the Art Institute of Chicago.
