2012 @smokeydabear31 7 Nov. in twitter.com (accessed 2 Feb. 2021) You should stop ghosting and txt me.

2013 @goa_x 18 Feb. in twitter.com (accessed 1 Feb. 2021) You do realise your ghosting becomes void once you tell everyone you're doing it. Just go and be gone.

2020 Herald-Times (Bloomington, Indiana) 27 Sept. c9/5 Still, you need to communicate that you won't be making yourself available for your scheduled date. Be polite yet straightforward—and most importantly, no ghosting.
