During a 2016 red carpet release of the new Ghostbusters film, a group of 263 individuals got together and decided they’d dress as the iconic Ghost from the movies logo. What they didn’t realize is that they set the record for most people dressed as ghosts in one location.
World’s Largest Gathering of Ghosts
World’s Heaviest Pumpkin
The lopsided Pumpkin holds the record as being the heaviest in the world – a staggering 2,323 pounds. A Belgian man by the name of Mathias Willemijns is credited with growing the massive squash.
