Story about the designer:

His parents moved out to the country when he was 5. Afraid to sleep by himself for fear of ghosts, his father suggested he make a Ghostbusters ghost trap out of Legos. The ghost trap was made and went with him all over the house, including resting on his chest at night while he slept. He came to realize he could make anything he dreamed of out of Legos and the rest, as they say, is history.
