For those of you who may not know what this means, I will explain. Someone ghosts you by leaving a bag of Halloween "treats" at your door step. The bag of "treats" includes a note explaining everything. In addition, the bag contains a picture of a ghost, which the recipient of the bag tapes in a visible place on the front of his/her house. When you leave the bag, make sure you don't get caught. Knock loud and run!!! Here is an example of the note that we left:
The Phantom Ghost has come to town,
To leave you some goodies, I see you have found.
If you do not wish a curse to fall,
Continue this greeting, this Phantom's call.
First, post this Phantom where it can be seen,
And leave it there until Halloween.
This will scare other Phantoms who may visit.
Be sure to participate, you don't want to miss it!
Second, make two treats & two copies of this Ghost with a grin
Deliver them to two neighbors where this Phantom hasn't been
Don't let them see you, be sneaky, no doubt …
And make sure they put their Phantom Ghost out!
Next, you have only one day to act, so be quick!
Leave it at doors where the Phantom hasn't hit.
Deliver at dark when there isn't much light...
Ring the doorbell and run, and stay out of sight!!
And last, but not least, come join in the season.
Don't worry, be happy, you need no good reason.
This is all in good fun and we are just trying to say...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!

My kids just think this is the best thing. It's kind of nice too because they are giving to others. Of course, they pick out stuff that they would like candy, little party favor toys, etc. Then they have to give them away. For the little one's this can be a little hard but a good lesson to learn!
