A “hot blob” beneath the Appalachian Mountains is slowly moving toward New York, and Ghostbusters fans have been quick to draw comparisons to Ghostbusters II’s River of Slime. 👻Officially dubbed the Northern Appalachian Anomaly, the molten mass was discovered by scientists using seismic tomography. Sitting 125 miles underground and stretching 220 miles across New England, it’s believed to be part of a slow-moving geologic process tied to ancient land rifts.
While in the 1989 sequel, psychomagnotheric ectoplasm wreaked havoc on the city, there’s no need to worry about this "blob." For one, there's been no sign of Vigo the Carpathian, and better yet, scientists say it’ll take another 10 to 15 million years for the goo to reach New York.
