What is the ghost filter prank?
The ghost filter prank is a short vertical video where a tall ghost woman with grey-green skin, long grey hair, round white eyes and long claws appears right behind someone who has no idea. On TikTok, parents film their kids at the bathroom sink or the kitchen counter, the kids spot the ghost on the screen, and the scream is the whole post. Here, one photo of them makes the clip.
Upload one photo and keep the default: they chat at the camera while the ghost rises slowly over their shoulder. Or tap a template for the kitchen counter, the bathroom door, the sink lunge or the hand-washing peek. A lot of the TikToks under this trend are people asking how to get the ghost; here she is already written next to the upload, in your browser.
For a still version of the same scare, try the Michael Myers AI trend; for the face they pull afterwards, the AI scared face effect.

What the generator is doing
Your photo goes into Seedance 2.0 Mini as the reference for the person, and the default prompt writes the ghost and how she moves in behind them. With your own clip, the same model keeps the video and adds only the ghost. The make button shows what the clip costs in credits, so you know the price before the ghost turns up.
Slow is scarier
The best clips never rush it. The ghost is already there while they keep talking, and it takes a few seconds before anyone notices her.
Claws out at the sink
The lunge version: she comes at them from behind with both arms out, and they spin round mid-chore. Pick the sink template for that one.
How to do the ghost filter prank
Upload one photo, or the clip you already have, and the ghost filter prank video is ready in a few minutes.
Upload one clear photo of them
Face to the camera, good light, some room visible behind them. That empty space over the shoulder is where the ghost appears.
Keep the slow creep, or pick a template
The default has them chatting while she rises behind them. Tap the sink lunge if you want the scream in the clip itself.
Make it, then show them
Ten seconds fits the creep and the reveal. Play it to them on your phone and film their face for the second half of the post.
Who to pull the ghost filter prank on
It works best on someone who will laugh about it ten seconds later.
The big sister who scares everyone else
She has jumped out from behind every door in the house. Show her a clip of herself with something behind her.
Your partner, mid-scroll on the sofa
A photo from the couch, the ghost rising over the cushions. Hand them the phone and say "look what I caught".
Halloween week in the family chat
Drop it in the group chat the week of Halloween and watch who replies first.
Bedtime story, with company
Someone reading a book in bed while the ghost leans over the headboard. Tap the Random button by the prompt until the bedtime one comes up.
Ghost filter prank FAQ
What the ghost is, how to make one without hunting for the filter, adding it to your own video, and keeping it a joke.
A video where a grinning grey ghost appears right behind someone who does not know she is there. Parents film their kids, the kids see the ghost on the screen and scream, and the reaction gets posted.
No. Here it is made in your browser: upload a photo, keep the default ghost or tap a template, and press make. The clip comes back as a vertical video you can save and post anywhere.
Tap "Use your own clip" in the generator and upload up to 10 seconds of video. The prompt keeps your clip as it is and adds only the ghost behind them; editing a clip costs more credits than starting from a photo, and the button shows the amount first.
No. Each clip costs credits, and the exact amount is on the button before you make it; the free credits you get at sign-up do not cover a 10-second clip. You see the price, then decide.
For a toddler, it can be real fear: plenty of the posts end with a child in tears, and people have asked parents to stop. Pick someone old enough to be in on the joke, and tell them it was you as soon as they react.
