We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.
This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Egon Spengler — The entry states Egon's status as 'Deceased (2016 timeline)'. This is incorrect; Egon Spengler died in 2021 in the film *Ghostbusters: Afterlife*, not in a 2016 timeline.
Egon Spengler — The entry claims Egon 'designed all major ghost-catching equipment used by the team, including the Proton Pack and Containment Unit.' This is incorrect; Ray Stantz co-designed the Proton Pack and other equipment alongside Egon.
Vigo the Carpathian — The entry states Vigo was 'burned at the stake,' but in the film Vigo says he was 'poisoned, stabbed, shot, hung, stretched, disemboweled, and drawn and quartered' — he does not mention being burned at the stake.
Vigo the Carpathian — The entry claims Vigo 'successfully possesses a young boy named Oscar' and is only defeated after the Ghostbusters use the Statue of Liberty's positive energy to break the possession. In the film, Vigo possesses Oscar, but the Ghostbusters use the Statue of Li
Sedgewick Hotel Ritual — The entry states the Sedgewick Hotel Ritual refers to the convergence in Dana Barrett's apartment, but the Sedgewick Hotel is a different location in the film (the hotel where the Ghostbusters first encounter Slimer). The ritual at Dana's apartment is not call
Sedgewick Hotel Ritual — The entry claims the ritual required two specific vessels: one to hold the key and another to open the gate. In canon, Zuul is the Gatekeeper (who holds the gate) and Vinz Clortho is the Keymaster (who holds the key). The phrasing 'hold the key' and 'open the
Louis Tully Possession — The demon possessing Louis Tully is Vinz Clortho, the Keymaster, not Zuul.
Louis Tully Possession — The exorcism ritual was performed at Dana Barrett's apartment, not Louis Tully's apartment.
The Real Ghostbusters — Louis Tully is described as the Ghostbusters' neighbor and friend, but in the film and series, Louis Tully is a neighbor and friend of Dana Barrett, not the Ghostbusters themselves.
The Real Ghostbusters — The studio is listed as DIC Entertainment, but The Real Ghostbusters was produced by Columbia Pictures Television and animated by DIC Entertainment; DIC was the animation studio, not the primary production studio.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife — The entry states 'the tragic events that claimed the life of Egon Spengler' — Egon's death in the film is not described as resulting from 'tragic events' but from a heart attack or natural causes, not a specific event.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife — The entry says 'The supernatural events in Summerville are directly linked to Egon Spengler's research into the Netherworld and Gozer' — The film does not mention 'Netherworld'; the term used is 'the Other Side' or 'the spirit world'.
