Today, we’re going to explore the signs that you might be haunted by this spirit and how you and your novelty pet ghost can get along.

Let's break it down. If you've noticed some quirky, tech-savvy, and meme-related happenings around your home, your ghost is not sus; you might just have a millennial ghost on your hands.
Don't worry – this is more fun than it might seem at first glance, and we promise: the horror will persist! A millennial ghost is a spirit that embraces all things internet culture, and when you two manage to become friends, you can be certain your ghost has your back if the trolls arrive.
Tips That Slap for Dealing with a Millennial Ghost
Now that you know you might be haunted by a millennial ghost and you can’t even, here are some tips on how to deal with this lit presence in your home. Understanding the behaviors of your trendy ghost can help you coexist peacefully. Here are things you might experience and how to handle them:
Random Spotify Playlists
You might hear the latest hits or nostalgic 90s music playing out of nowhere. Sit down, vibe with the JOMO, and maybe discover some new tunes
Binge-Watching
Your TV or streaming devices might start playing popular and woke shows on their own. Don’t swerve this – take it as a sign to relax and enjoy some quality screen time with your ghostly companion.
Avocado Toast Cravings
You find yourself inexplicably craving avocado toast or other trendy foods like raw broccolini and kombucha. Embrace the healthy eats and make yourself a snack?
Ghosting IRL
Sometimes, your ghost might just disappear for a while – classic retro-ironic ghosting. Don’t take it personally; they’ll be out of the box again when they’re ready. Millennial me-time is a real thing in all realities.
Memes Everywhere
Memes might pop up on your devices. Accept your place on the Millennial Falcon, humble-brag about it to your friends, and maybe even share a few of your favorites back.
Wi-Fi Woes
Odd fluctuations in your Wi-Fi signal might occur. Blame it on your millennial ghost’s constant need for connectivity and make sure your router is up to date. Do not experiment with cutting the connection. That would potentially be …bad.
The Struggle is Real: Living with a Millennial Ghost
Expanding on the tips above, let’s dive deeper into the world of your millennial ghost. Engaging with the ghost’s interests can turn this haunting into a fun and relatable experience rather than a salty setup. Create a cozy nook with all the millennial essentials – fairy lights, comfy pillows, and, of course, a strong Wi-Fi signal.
Get into the habit of sharing your favorite memes and music playlists, and maybe just get your GhostBox companion their own phone and place it near the box. This will keep your ghost vibing and you can share valuable memes and communication this way – texting is, after all, much easier than a ouija board! Your ghost might appreciate the effort and reciprocate with some top-notch recommendations. If you find your ghost loves a particular show, consider watching it, checking out the memes and fanfic, and enjoying the shared experience.
Don’t be afraid to ask your ghost WTF is supposed to be fun about the meme with a pink hamster wearing a tank top that says Eel Hoe, on a background of cloudy sky with half a Russian submarine visible in the background alongside a strange, distorted balloon goat hovering from it with a thought-bubble saying “…luxury tomat”. It’s okay to ask. You will probably get a storm of explanatory memes explaining memes explaining memes etc. going back to the buttass-end of 2004 but that’s educational.
Also, you could take this as an opportunity to upgrade your tech. Invest in a good router, smart home devices, and maybe even some app-controlled lights. Your ghost will feel right at home and be able to interact more freely with you though the surroundings, and you will gain a happy spectral companion. GhostBoxed tech-support is not the worst thing to have access to.
Remember, nobody likes millennials …until it’s time to convert a PDF-file to a Word-doc.
What Comes Next With Your Novelty Pet Ghost?
Having a millennial novelty pet ghost can be a unique and entertaining experience rather than a socially frightening one. By recognizing the signs and embracing the quirky charm your ghost brings, you can turn this haunting into a harmonious coexistence. Be curious and communicate. Your ghost is a personality with opinions and likes, and just as with everyone else, becoming friends is a process for both of you.
As you move forward, consider this haunting an opportunity to enjoy the lighter side of life. Keep an open mind and embrace the weird-ass humor and trends that your ghostly millennial brings into your home. After all, a millennial ghost is not just a haunting – it's an invitation to stay current, trendy, enjoy some memes, and keep things chill.
