Let's face it: you might not want to rely on the Ghostbuster Proton Pack if you ever do confront a ghost, banshee or any other deadly apparition. Yet this take on a cult classic staple is cute, crafty and will have all the kids whispering with envy. Unless, of course, another kid rolls around with this Ghostbusters-inspired backpack, which is decidedly less handmade-looking. Either way, these two kids together will be able to show who's boss in the schoolyard.
Created by Phoenix-based Jezebel Rose, there Ghostbuster Proton Pack is a very good reason why it doesn't appear as official or realistic as the other backpack. It actually doubles as a portable pillow; therefore, its unstructured form serves a purpose other than carrying items or scaring away haunting, incorporeal beings.
