A group of coworkers were working on a project together. One of them, who was very involved in the beginning, suddenly stopped coming to meetings, answering emails or calls related to the project. The rest of the team was left wondering what had happened. Later they found out that he had received a better job offer elsewhere and decided to ghost his old team rather than deal with the awkwardness of leaving.
One ghosting story is about a girl who was chatting with a guy she met online for weeks. They made plans to meet, but on the day of the meet - up, the guy just disappeared. No calls, no texts, as if he vanished into thin air.
One BuzzFeed ghosting story could be about a girl who met a guy on a dating app. They had great conversations for weeks, even planned to meet up. But suddenly, the guy just stopped replying. No explanation, no goodbye. It was really confusing for her.
There was a group of friends who planned a party. One friend, let's call him Tom, didn't show up and didn't answer any calls or texts. Everyone thought he was ghosting them. Later, they found out that Tom had accidentally fallen asleep in his car in the driveway after coming home from work exhausted. He was so embarrassed when he realized everyone thought he had ditched them on purpose.
Well, I heard of a man who ghosted his long - term partner just before a big event. Years later, when he was about to get married to someone else, his ex showed up and told his new partner about how he had ghosted. His new relationship was in jeopardy. It was his karma for the past wrong.
A friend of mine had a job ghosting experience too. He had been in contact with a startup for a potential position. They had long conversations about the role, his skills, and the future of the company. He was told he was a top candidate. But suddenly, all communication ceased. It turned out the startup had some internal issues and decided to halt their hiring process without informing the candidates. It's really unprofessional and can be very discouraging for job hunters.
One famous Japanese ghost story is about Okiku. Okiku was a maid who worked in a samurai's house. Her master had a set of ten precious plates. One day, one plate went missing. The master was furious and accused Okiku of stealing it. She swore she didn't. In retaliation, the cruel master threw her down a well. After that, every night, people could hear her counting the plates from the well, 'One, two, three... nine...'. Her ghost was said to be seeking justice for her wrongful death.
I knew a girl who ghosted her whole group of friends. She was part of a really tight - knit friend circle. One day, she just left all the group chats, stopped answering their calls. Turns out she was going through a really tough time mentally but didn't know how to communicate it. So instead, she just cut everyone off. It was a shock to her friends, and they were really worried about her for a long time.
There was a really fascinating BuzzFeed story where a group of friends planned a big trip together. They had booked accommodations, flights, and everything. But then, one of the friends just ghosted the group. Didn't show up for the trip, didn't answer any messages. It caused a lot of problems for the rest of the group as they had to cover the costs and make new arrangements. Turns out the friend had some financial issues but was too embarrassed to say so and just disappeared.
A guy was ghosted by a girl. He wrote a song about his experience of being suddenly cut off and posted it on YouTube. The song got a fair amount of views and some people in their social circle recognized the story. The girl was really embarrassed when she found out. It was a creative way of getting revenge as he used his talent to expose what she did.
One tinder ghosting story is that a girl matched with a guy on Tinder. They had a great chat for a few days, even made plans to meet up. But suddenly, the guy just disappeared. No reply to her messages at all. It was really frustrating for her.
Well, I heard of a situation where a girl was in a long - distance relationship. They used to talk every day. But then, out of the blue, the boyfriend just ceased all communication. He unfollowed her on social media, didn't reply to her emails. It was like she ceased to exist for him. It was really hard for her as she had planned a future with him. She was constantly thinking about what might have caused this sudden change and was heartbroken for a long time.
