In a devastating turn of events, a Brown student has reported that her Halloweekend romantic interest has continued ghosting her well into November, with no indication of when he plans to return to the land of the living, take off his dirty old bedsheet, or, more importantly, text her back.
Following a seemingly successful Halloweekend full of PDA and green flags, the once very much alive individual has since ceased all communication, leaving behind little evidence that the encounter ever occurred.
“At first, I thought he was just busy,” she explained. “But it’s been several days. I’m starting to think he’s actually a ghost.”
Friends have reportedly encouraged her to move on, noting that Halloween ended over a week ago and that the individual has had ample time to remove his costume. The student, however, remains concerningly optimistic, insisting that she is willing to give him until Thanksgiving to break character. “I mean, soon he’ll get sick of walking around with that sheet on his head, and he will surely text me back once he can see his phone again. Right? He’s not ignoring me; he’s just committed to his costume. That’s a good thing, right? Maybe soon, he’ll be committed to me!”
Experts from the TAPS department have suggested that the individual is dedicated to not breaking character, although the length of the performance has raised concerns. Researchers have also noted that the individual demonstrated a considerably stronger ability to commit to his Halloween costume than to any form of interpersonal communication.
When reached for comment, the alleged ghoster offered only one explanation: “I’m still a ghost.”
In the meantime, the ghostee has reportedly exhausted several attempts at reestablishing contact, including a Ouija board and multiple Etsy witches, although none of which have yielded a response. Friends describe the situation as increasingly difficult to watch.
At press time, the situationship still lacks any attachment to the physical Earth; the student remained delusional, and Halloween remained the last time she had heard from him.
The Rib of Brown is open to any new leads about this case. Anyone with information regarding the individual’s whereabouts, current relationship status, or ability to operate a cellular device is encouraged to come forward.
