No. We understand that owning a ghost is a unique experience, and circumstances may change at times. However, due to the nature of our products, we cannot accept returns of ghosts in boxes. They get awfully attached, and we don’t have the heart to break it to them that you don’t love them anymore. You monster.
Kidding. Well, maybe. Ghosts don’t have human feelings, but it’s a heartwarming way of interpreting why they keep returning to their original buyer like a slingshot, box or no box. And you definitely want them in the box! Ha ha. Ha. This is lighthearted. Ha.
There are many reasons for an industry standard no-return policy on boxed ghosts, and it boils down to this: it’s better for everyone if your ghost stays where it’s placed. Owning a contained ghost is a permanent experience… in more ways than one.
Our spectral support team is always available to address any concerns or issues you may have, though, so you can continue pleasant ownership regardless of your situation.
To purchase a ghost box, you must be at least 18 years old. MyGhostBox products involve specialized handling and carry a degree of responsibility. They are suitable only for consenting adults.
Ghost boxes can be around minors, but since they require careful handling, awareness, and a reasonable assumption of risk, they are not suitable to be owned by minors. We recommend our products for adults who can appreciate and tend to their spectral companions appropriately.
If you wish to care for your ghost box with your teenager, that is your choice. In fact, it can be a great bonding experience - but please always supervise! And keep all your TikTok challenges responsible. No repeats of the Tide Pod incident, okay? Pinky promise?
MyGhostBox products are designed to ethically contain and preserve spirits. Our ghosts are not intended to exacerbate existing hauntings, but rather to provide companionship, experiences, and connection for private individuals.
If you, your loved ones, or your house are being haunted and you experience an increase or shift in activity after your ghost box arrives, take a good look at the ghost box to ensure that it remains intact.
If it is, take a good look at yourself. Are you as composed as you could be? Are there ways you could calm the environment to lessen conflict or tension? If so, please do.
Please be aware that in very rare cases, bringing a ghost box into an already actively-haunted environment may result in the ghost box being opened and the spirit escaping. If you have any concerns, reach out to our spectral support team before making a purchase.
The decision to purchase a ghost box is a personal one. You should absolutely consider your friend’s beliefs and preferences before gifting such a unique and unconventional item.
With that in mind, it’s also an incredibly distinctive and exciting gift to give, so we very much encourage you to talk it over with the person to obtain their consent before purchase.
Yes, that does ruin the surprise, but when it comes to paranormal entities, “surprise ghost” is less genius in reality than it seems on paper.
If your friend is into it, then go wild! You’ll both share a valuable, fascinating, and unique connection for life as ghost owners. Congrats on automatically becoming the Superior Friend. That’s how friendships work. And you just beat everyone else to the punch. Nicely done.
Intentionally sending damaged or malfunctioning items, even to adversaries, is not an ethical practice and goes against our commitment to responsible conduct. For those of you who will absolutely do it anyways, let us extend this one piece of critical thinking that your righteous vengeance might’ve overlooked:
Ghosts don’t have timers. A damaged box is dangerous from the exact moment its sigils are broken. Worse yet, back-fired plans are really funny to enemies. So maybe just send them a potato with a rude message on it instead.
A better question is: why shouldn’t you? The decision to purchase a ghost box is entirely up to your personal interests and beliefs, but it is kind of awesome. If you are intrigued by the supernatural or seek a one-of-a-kind, ethical connection to the paranormal, then ghost boxes are a fascinating addition to your life.
While ghosts can exist peacefully on their own, some entities may enjoy companionship from another ghost. Introducing additional ghosts to your collection requires cautious reflection, however. Personalities, sigils, and energies can interact differently.
If you decide to purchase another ghost, we highly recommend purchasing from MyGhostBox. Our sigils are specially tailored by our experts to ensure compatibility and safe coexistence as far as spectrally possible.
In some rare cases, we’ll advise you not to purchase certain boxes, such as when you already own a potentially conflicting one. This is an unusual occurrence, and you will be advised of the potential disharmony during your purchasing experience with us.
Should I buy a ghost box if I want to be haunted?
We call it a personal haunting, and we mean it – but that doesn’t mean you’ll experience the kinds of dangers a free-range haunting would entail. All our current boxes offer a Grade 0.5 haunting, deemed acceptable and safe for the home.
MyGhostBox provides ethically sourced ghosts for appreciation, rather than to create or “seed” full-fledged hauntings. Our products are a responsible way to connect with the paranormal in a respectful manner that allows you to keep all your body parts and full control over your person.
If you communicate with your boxed entity, you can technically call that a haunting, but in the traditional sense of the word, it’s not, so long as your ghost box sigils remain strong.
Good Ghost Keeping

No. And thank goodness for that, because installing a straw into a box that can’t have any openings would be a hilariously undignified piece of engineering.
Ghosts do not require conventional nourishment like food or water. As ethereal entities, they exist on a different plane and have no pressing physical needs. Ghosts draw energy from their surroundings and can often find sustenance from ambient sources.
Ensuring your ghost is contented and well-contained in its box will contribute to a harmonious existence. As such, we urge our clients to place the box near a wall socket or charging station. Human bodies are electrically charged machines, so it’s important to give your spectral companion alternatives! Just keep your ghost box away from mobile phones and internet routers.
First, do not hug your ghost. We know the temptation will get stronger the more you bond and the more difficult life becomes as you age (and it doesn’t), but:
A) It’s intangible, so you’ll just look silly.
B) You could only really hug the box, and that might upset the sigils if you get too into it.
Ghosts do not experience emotions in the same way humans do, but they can respond to positive energies and interactions. So instead, you can treat your ghost with respect and care to foster a sense of contentment. It makes for a nicer, more effective, and less hazardous kind of bond between the entity and you.
It’s possible that the sounds you're hearing are related to your ghost's presence. (You might want to check for home intruders first, though, just in case.) Boxed ghosts sometimes interact with their surroundings, resulting in unexplained noises or sensations.
If you suspect your ghost is causing the disturbances, carefully inspect its box and ensure it is firmly sealed and that all the sigils remain unbroken. If the phenomenon persists, it’s likely just your ghost’s unique way of interacting with you. Embrace your personal haunting!
Ghost enrichment involves providing stimuli that engages and stimulates your companion's otherworldly senses. Fine examples of ghost enrichment include:
• Exposing the box to ambient sounds that align with your ghost's temperament
• Adding mild scents to the ghost’s room (incense is fine, but don’t opt for any anti-energy or anti-spirit kinds – it is mean, for starters, but it’s also unsafe for the ghost).
It's essential to avoid overwhelming or agitating the ghost, since each entity has unique preferences and sensitivities. To know more of your ghost’s likes and dislikes, begin small and spend time near your ghost to see what it reacts best to.
Owning a ghost is a rewarding experience, but it's important to be aware of potential side effects. Some individuals may experience, among others:
• Heightened spiritual awareness
• Vivid dreams
• Increased sensitivity to energies
These effects can vary widely among individuals and are generally harmless. If you encounter any concerns or unusual experiences, consult our spectral support team for guidance.
Select a quiet and serene location where your ghost can experience minimal disturbances. Avoid direct exposure to harsh sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations, because these can affect the essence within the box.
Consider placing the box on a sturdy surface to prevent accidental damage, falls, or mishaps. Keep out of the reach of children and other animals that might roam your home. Place the box near a socket or electrical outlet, or near your bed if you are of stable constitution. This ensures the ghost can draw passive sustenance from the emotions you experience while dreaming. (Not recommended for lucid dreamers!)
If your ghost's sigiled container is dented or damaged, it is crucial to assess the extent of the harm. Superficial dents might not pose an immediate threat to containment, but it's advisable to take precautions and handle the box with care.
For significant damage, avoid the area surrounding the box and contact our spectral support team on how to proceed. They will assist you in confirming the box's structural integrity and will work to safeguard your ghost.
Our team of experts takes great care in the sigiling process to ensure the integrity of each ghost box and the presence of an authentic ghost. We never send out empty or defective boxes. Rest assured that the entity is safely held within, so long as the box is not damaged.
In an emergency, create a soothing environment by dimming lights and minimizing external stimuli, such as turbulent emotions. Speak calmly and reassuringly to your ghost while maintaining a respectful distance. If the situation escalates, remove yourself and other living things from the immediate area if you can, and contact our spectral support team for guidance.
Why doesn't my pet like the ghost box?
Pets may react differently to the presence of a ghost, as animals can sense energies beyond our perception. Some pets might be curious, while others may feel uneasy or agitated. To ensure your pet's comfort, it’s best to place the ghost box in a secure area away from your pet's main living spaces - and not just for the sake of the pet.
“My dog ate my ghost box” is a problem we encounter with a certain regularity. We strongly encourage you not to let this happen. An upset stomach will be the least upsetting part of that day.
Are you serious?
MyGhostBox is a legitimate company that honorably preserves spectral entities within sigiled containers for private consumers. We have proudly been doing this since MyGhostBox (then called The Amazing Box of Wonderment) was founded.
Run? Like, super fast?
Just kidding. That only works about 20% of the time. No, ghosts are ethereal beings, and their behavior can be unpredictable once outside the confines of their boxes, so the effects may or may not be noticed right away. This is your golden period. Take advantage of it to seek assistance from a professional ghostfinder or contact our spectral support team immediately.
Our experts will guide you through the necessary steps to safely locate and recapture your spectral companion if possible, or how to ward your home against its re-entry if the situation has escalated.
Signs of an escaped ghost can vary, but the normal indicators include:
- Unusual chill in the air
- A sudden and prevailing sense of dread
- Seeing objects move without obvious cause
- Strange and distressing dreams
- Hearing voices without a source (hushed or clear)
If you suspect that your ghost has escaped, carefully inspect its sigiled container and surroundings. You will likely detect a faint, burned smell even on an intact ghost box if the ghost has escaped. If the box has signs of tampering or damage, remove yourself from the area as much as you can and contact our spectral support team.
An ethically sourced ghost is one that has been carefully and responsibly obtained, ensuring that no harm or distress is caused to the spectral entity, either during the capture process or containment.
A free-range ghost refers to a ghost that is naturally occurring and present in the wild. They are completely organic-ish, form without any intentional influence, and are often manageable with the right tools and expertise. These are the only ghosts that can be ethically sourced, so long as they’re captured using best practices and compliance with ghost collection laws.
Always check the ghost merchant’s certifications to ensure they’re not farming ghosts. Farmed ghosts are those generated purposefully (artificially) in a controlled environment with the intention of experimenting on, studying, and/or selling the ghost. Farmed ghosts often go hand-in-hand with Isolation Trapping. They’re both cheap and effective ways to contain the ghost with minimal effort and a low chance of containment breach.
It also means malicious energy is compounded, leading to more powerful and more dangerous ghosts with escalated behavior. It’s fun if you like exploding-face syndrome or becoming a human ant farm, but surveys show that most people don’t. As such, while farmed ghosts are presumably “more interesting” and “more profitable” to such abhorrent companies and their customers, believe us – it’s a gift that you don’t want to keep on giving.
Both isolation trapping and farmed ghosts are deeply immoral, unethical, and, fortunately in recent times, illegal. MyGhostBox completely and wholly condemns such practices and any individuals or entities (of the business variety) that engage in them.
Should I keep my ghost box out of reach of children?
Ghost boxes are not toys and should always be kept out of the reach of children, especially young ones or children of any age without supervision.
Failing to do so may result in an escaped ghost, or worse: unintentional bonds or communication between the child and the entity itself.
Ghosts make great lifelong companions, but unfortunate childhood friends.
What you really want to know
While ghosts do not require traditional bonding like pets do, interacting positively with your spectral companion can foster a harmonious relationship. Respect, care, and understanding go a long way in creating a meaningful connection with your ghost.
Ghosts do not require traditional discipline, as they are not living beings with emotions or behaviors in the same sense as humans or animals. Instead, maintaining a respectful and nurturing environment will foster a positive relationship and, thus, more positive behavior. This may not have instant results, but it’s far less likely to encourage lashing out from your ghost.
Determining a ghost's age can be challenging, as time operates differently in an ethereal context. Ghosts are perceived as timeless beings, but we can confirm that they do not age in the conventional sense. The age of a ghost is better understood through its unique history and the wisdom(?) it may carry.
You are welcome to ask the ghost for this information, and it may provide it. But be aware that ghosts may “answer” in a way that’s difficult to understand, detect, or even identify as communication, should it actually answer at all.
Your success or struggle will depend on the ghost in question, yourself, and the bond you two share. For your endeavors, we’ll share one piece of advice: if you get multiple answers, don’t automatically assume that some must be false for others to be true.
When moving with your ghost, ensure that the box remains firmly sealed and protected throughout the journey. Keep the box stable and prevent any rough handling that might compromise its containment. After the move, find a suitable and peaceful location for your ghost in its new environment. Avoid traditional shipping (doing so safely is hard enough even for us).
Home or renter's insurance typically does not cover damages caused by supernatural entities. It is essential to prioritize the safety and containment of your ghost to avoid issues or rejected claims.
Communication with ghosts often happens on a subtle, energetic level. Pay attention to your surroundings, trust your intuition, and remain open to receiving messages or signs from your spectral companion.
These can come in the form of sensations, sudden emotional experiences, or dreams, just to name a few.
Ghosts, being otherly presences, may sometimes exhibit behaviors that appear shy or reserved. To help draw out a more docile spirit, consider placing the box near your bed or pillow, so long as this is a safe place for it to be and you are reasonably healthy.
If you suspect your ghost isn’t within the box, sniff the box for traces of a slightly burned smell that will indicate that the emergency strip has activated. If so, it’s essential to guarantee your own safety. Contact our spectral support team and spend as much time outside the ghost’s room as possible.
Household sounds may affect ghosts differently, depending on their individual temperament. Some ghosts become agitated by the sounds of a vacuum cleaner or loud traffic, and some find them invigorating.
Creating a peaceful space can add to your ghost's contentment. Like when establishing any relationship, you’ll have to play it by ear and see how you, your environment, and your ghost work best together.
Spectral smells are sometimes the intriguing result of your ghost's presence. Embrace this unique aspect of your otherly friend, since it adds to the mystique and wonder of interacting with the ethereal. This is a part of the joy of owning one or more ghost boxes!

But honestly... Did you really look?
There's more...
Ghosts do not experience illness as living beings do. If you notice unusual behavior or changes in your ghost, it’s usually due to other spiritual entities in the vicinity having an impact on it, or simply because it is static molting. Both are perfectly natural reactions and no cause for concern, per se.
We are legally required to say that there is no scientific evidence to suggest that ghosts have a direct effect on physical conditions like acne.
No scientific evidence supports the notion that the ghosts you encounter at MyGhostBox impact human fertility or reproductive health. We do urge caution when dealing with certain, less reputable or certified companies. Always ensure that your ghost seller complies with the VENICE guidelines before making your purchase.
Ghosts in our boxes are ethically sourced and preserved for companionship, not meant to be guided toward any particular path. Enjoy the connection with your spectral confidante as they are. As with any type of connection, it’s not up to us to tell others what path to choose, what to hope or strive for, or how to behave.
MyGhostBox is committed to moral, legally-compliant practices and does not engage in holding ghosts against their will. Our spectral entities are ethically sourced and preserved within sigiled containers for private consumers.
Does MyGhostBox profit off ghosts?
Yes? Kind of? Not really? Still yes?

Consent is very important. Our ethical approach ensures that all spectral entities are sourced with utmost care and respect. While ghosts do not provide consent in the traditional sense, we’re dedicated to responsible and humane practices, ensuring their well-being and containment within the box.
Becoming a MyGhostBox entity is not possible. MyGhostBox offers ethically-sourced entities for companionship, but does not engage in capturing or preserving human souls.
Ghost insurance is not a conventional offering, but you’re welcome to ask your insurance company. Let us know how it goes.
