Ok, so Haynes have just released a new Ecto-1 manuel and, while we’re still waiting for ours to arrive, some of our pals over on Ghostbusters Fans UK have clearly received theirs and, in among the Ecto-1 and Ghostbusters equipment awesomeness, one fan has seemingly stumbled upon one of the holy grails of the Ghostbusters universe.
Ok, so, in Ghostbusters II you’ll recall that Ray got possessed by Vigo while he and the others were examining the painting at the Museaum:

This was, in the original script, going to lead to Ray driving the Ecto-1 dangerously while trying to kill civilians on the street.
Some of the scene was reportedly filmed, however there’s very little proof of this except a few brief clips of the Ecto-1 driving fast that ended up in the movie’s montage scene.
The scripted scene even made it into the comic book adaptation, The Real Ghostbusters in Ghostbusters II:

A fan even went so far as to put together this clip using scenes from Ghostbusters II and the comic:

So you get the idea of how the scene was meant to play out.
However, getting back to the Haynes manual we mentioned at the start, the image below was discovered in the book and it seems to be the general consensus that the image shows Winton leaning in and pulling the steering wheel off Ray… and therefore may actually be an image of the deleted possessed driving scene.

We would tend to agree… what do you all think? Is this a glimpse of the scene that we all know was filmed but have never seen?
Let us know what you guys think.
