Bildunterschrift:

Contrary to your likely first impression, a "Phantombild" (literally, ghost picture) is not what the Ghost Busters use to go on in their search for spooks and gouls. After all, the Stay-Puff Marshmellow Man is fairly unmistakable. Rather, it's the police who use "Phantombilder" when they're looking for very real, usually human criminals. The police employ specially trained artists to sketch a "Phantombild" of a suspect according to a witness' description. Of course, some pretty strange images probably end up on the sketch pad, but we'll assume the police pass those cases on to the specialists -- the Ghost Busters.
