Ghosting (sometimes called boo-ing) is a recent Halloween tradition and it can be a lot of fun.

Halloween Ghosting usually involves a "ghost" and a responsible adult sneaking over to a friend's or neighbor's house to anonymously leave a small bag of wrapped candy treats or small Halloween novelties and a "You've Been Ghosted!" notice on the doorstep. Then that neighbor makes up a small bag of Halloween goodies and anonymously leaves it on the doorstep of another neighbor or friend, and so on, and so on.

Once somebody has been ghosted, the "You've Been Ghosted!" notice is usually taped on the front door or displayed in a front window to let everybody know not to ghost that house again.

The best time to do ghosting is just after dark a day or two before Halloween. But be careful when sneaking around the neighborhood in the dark.  And always be sure to carry a flashlight and to watch your step. Remember to be safe!
