Who to send it to
- Your best friend: “trying a new filter, thoughts?” and wait for them to zoom in.
- The group chat: drop it with no warning and count the “is that real?” replies.
- Your partner: a “missing you” video before bed; Sudden lunge works best with the lights off.
- Your roommate: use a selfie from your own hallway and ask if they heard something last night.
What to write
Keep the message ordinary so nothing tips them off: “just got home”, “how do I look?”, “first selfie with the new phone”. Do not mention a ghost. Once they react, tell them it is AI and send them the link so they can prank someone else.
Who not to prank
Do not send a ghost prank to children, to anyone who is anxious or easily frightened, to anyone with a heart condition, or to someone who might think it is a real emergency. Do not post someone else in a prank video without their agreement.
Frequently asked questions
Which scare is better for Halloween?
Slow creep for group chats and people who like to replay a video and spot details. Sudden lunge for friends who love horror and reaction videos.
Can I make one for a friend’s photo?
Yes, if they are an adult and agreed to be pranked. Do not use photos of strangers, children or public figures.
Should I prank my kids with a ghost filter?
No. When the in-app ghost filter spread on TikTok in 2022, parents filmed small children being scared by it, and therapists warned that frightening children for views can do real harm. Ghost Filter Prank does not accept photos of children; prank adults who will laugh about it afterwards.
What is the fastest way to make a ghost filter prank video?
Upload one selfie to Ghost Filter Prank, pick Slow creep or Sudden lunge and download a 10-second vertical MP4 with sound. One video is $4.99 (40 credits), paid once with no subscription.
