GHOST BREAKERS "Dr Neff Cracks the Menace of the Vanishing Ghosts" Conclusion

...hired by a group of local sheriffs to perform in a number of close-together towns which have experienced robberies by "ghosts", Dr Neff stops a crime by the pseudo-specters in the first town he performs in.

There's no indication he ever actually did that sort of thing...
