Being a ghost would be an excellent opportunity for pranks. Being incorporeal and/or invisible means not getting caught, and presents a plethora of new ways to mess with people.


Reddit user u/BlameSociety1 asked:

"If you were a ghost, what things would you do just to mess with people?"

Follow Ghost Hunters around, but only do things that are easily explainable without a "ghost" hypothesis.

nah, follow them and when they freak out at some random noise and ask "what was that?" appear beside them to answer "gee, I dont know"

I'd possess the Biology Class Skeleton, march to the front of the room, and scream,

"I GOT A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU, EH HEHEHEHE!!!!"

Go on their phone and rearrange their applications on the home screen

Oh man I fantasize about this all the time.

The usual opening doors and moving car keys around. No light flickering, that gives the game away, but turn out lights in vacant rooms. Rearrange books or DVDs or records, just slightly. Put a frozen meal in the microwave, but don't turn it on. Change the TV channel when they go to the bathroom

Fold their laundry, or put it away. Rearrange decorations on their walls and shelves. Replace light bulbs that burnt out.
Little things. Things that make them think they're going a little crazy, or losing their memory. Going senile, even. Keep it up and personalize to the hauntee. They'll never even know I was there.

So you want to redecorate and maintain basic upkeep to my home?

Pretty much, but in a more spooooooky way.

If they're decent people, I'd find things they lost and put them somewhere they can't miss it. Phone missing? Boom, it's on the chair. Keys gone? Hanging out of the lock. If they forget to grab their towel before a shower, I'd set one out for them. And maybe I'd whisper poetry to them when they sleep.

If they're assholes, I'll wake them up about an hour before they're supposed to get up, either by blasting early My Chemical Romance over their Bluetooth speakers or by growling the Verse of the Ring at them in the original Black Speech. (It sounds intimidating enough to possibly be a demon, and my Latin and Aramaic need work.) When they finally relax enough to go back to sleep, I'll turn off their alarm.

I made a pact with my best friend growing up that the first of us to die would come back as a ghost, and then throw a book so we could tell who it was.

So I'm going to go to her house and throw all her books at her.
She'll love it. She's cool like that.

I'd hard boil some eggs
Give them an ice bath when they're done
Peel them
Throw them in a bowl
Chop some green onion
Throw that in a bowl
Put some mayo in the bowl
Mix it good
Bring out the bread
Make egg salad sandwiches
Leave them out and the people living in the house would be like
"Sh*t, who made these man?"
It'd be an instant classic

I'd tap the shoulders of people walking next to each other and make them stare at each other with weird looks

Move random objects slightly so its enough for them to question if they left it like that but not enough to be sure that they didn't.

While ignorance may be bliss for the ignorant, it can annoy the heck out of everyone around them.

Ignorance can come from both a lack of information or too much incorrect information.

While we all have to do it so that we can pay our bills, some of us would definitely not work if we didn't have to.

But that has less to do with our work ethic and more to do with some of the terrible work experiences we've had.

No matter how empathetic we are, or how hard we try, there are just some things we can't understand without walking in someone else's shoes.

That said, people who live with more privilege can say some especially out-of-touch things.

Disney films hold a special place in people's hearts.

Iconic animated films like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Peter Pan have transcended time and continue to enchant new generations while contemporary classics like Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin revived the genre when Disney struggled through an uninspired transition during rough economic times.

All of these films regardless of the decade in which they dazzled moviegoers have one thing in common. They inspire hope through the empowering message that the love of family and friends endure in even the toughest of times.

But underneath all the magic, dreams coming true, and happily ever afters, some plot points may have been more sinister than the conflicts presented to our beloved protagonists in the final cut.

Fans have explored fascinating theories that may have driven the storyline that was absent from the animators' storyboards.
