Some ppl saying it originated with “spooky hood alt TikTok.” Idk if that’s really where it came from or not but it did get popularized through broader alt TikTok https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👻" title="Geist" aria-label="Emoji: Geist">

If you’re one of the many people trying to cancel literal children for dressing themselves and their pets up as ghosts while trying to celebrate yet another holiday they’re largely being robbed of b/c of COVID please unfollow me and go away
Now ppl are mad I didn’t include enough black ppl ghosts in this thread. I just chose a few funny vids from teenagers that I liked and saved on my phone. I am not “obfuscating” that the bedsheet ghosts were popularized initially by “spooky hood alt TikTok” I tweeted abt that too
I earnestly just love Halloween and ghosts. I shared some of these TikToks and photos b/c they reminded me of spooky stuff I used to see on Tumblr. I didn’t meant to cause controversy, I was just excited about Halloween and I’m sorry if my thread offended or upset anyone :(
Bedsheet ghosts have been around for hundreds of years (since Shakespeare days) and are frequently portrayed in pop culture. I didn’t anticipate how angry ppl would be that this is still a popular kids Halloween costume! but I appreciate everyone who shared their thoughts.
