Ghosting - An Intense Sport for Everyone


A few weeks ago, one of my professors introduced me to one of the most intense and fast-paced sports I have ever seen - Ghosting. To get a better idea of how crazy this sport is, watch this video:



If you don't have time to watch the video (which is highly recommended), here's a brief summary of the rules:

You must approach a person who is walking from behind and remain in close proximity undetected for as long as possible. The person who is able to do so the longest wins.


The great thing about Ghosting is that it's easy to pick up and play. Yes, even you can do it; however, I recommend practicing on your friends before you go professional. Of course, if you don't find it fun, or it's just too easy for you, I recommend you create some variation that's more to your liking. Here are some preliminary ideas I've come up with:

  1.  Extreme Weather Ghosting - Ghosting in any of the following conditions:
    • Earthquake
    • Tornado (Hurricanes may be acceptable in some circumstances)
    • Tsunami
    • Volcanic Eruption
  2. Bike Ghosting - Ghosting a bicyclist on a bicycle
  3. Ghost Ghosting - Ghosting dressed up like a ghost
  4. Backwards Ghosting - Ghosting the target walking backwards
  5. Battle Ghosting - Ghosting a person who is ghosting you

Does anybody else have any good ideas for fun Ghosting variations?
