In some Halloween maps, being the most famous cases [[Helltower]]'s Hell and [[Carnival of Carnage]]'s Bumper Cars zones, players turn into team-colored ghosts upon dying, whether by environmental death or by being killed by another player. They are given an infinite jump to let them "fly" around; and primary fire and [[voice commands]] will make the ghost say "Boo!", although it will not scare players like roaming ghosts will; otherwise, players are unable to attack or interact with other players. Ghost players are also unable to interact with objectives, like the book inside Skull Island in Helltower. There are some special behaviours for ghost players in some maps:

−
* In maps with bumper cars zones, like [[Carnival of Carnage]] or [[Gravestone]], players turn into ghosts if they fall off the arena. A player that has become a ghost who touches a living ally will be resurrected, and can resume helping their team towards the duel's objective; if hit by an enemy player, they will bounce slightly up while making a spring sound.
 
−
* In [[Graveyard]], players turn into "dispenser ghosts" when they die. As its name suggests, dispenser ghosts provides health, ammo and metal to living allies at the rate of a Level 1 [[Dispenser]].

Ghosts are moving environmental hazard NPCs introduced in the Haunted Hallowe'en Special on Harvest Event (as the haunting promised by Zepheniah Mann) and are now found on many later Halloween maps. These Ghosts appear as glowing blue/violet sheeted Ghosts, often wearing a Ghastly Gibus.

Normally, Ghosts appears at certain spots in the maps following any of a number of predetermined routes at the ends of which they disappear. During their brief appearances, they give out moans and may dim nearby lights. If any player gets too close, the Ghosts may utter a boo and scare the player, haunting them for several seconds.

Ghosts may appear after a special event of the map occurs, depending on the map. Note that not all Haunted maps have Ghosts.

  • Ghosts may appear after capturing an objective (e.g., in Eyeaduct after capturing the control point).
  • Ghosts may appear on scheduled times and routes (e.g., in Hellstone ).
  • Ghosts may appear during or after a Witching Hour (e.g., between Helltower's Witching Hours, the Ghosts of Zepheniah Mann appears at the Clocktower to stun players there).
  • Ghosts may appear when a Wheel of Fate spin so determines (e.g., in Ghost Fort and Moonshine Event).

Killing a player while they are scared by the Ghost during a Halloween event grants the player the Scared Stiff Scarechievement. Additionally, a player scared by the Ghost can count towards certain stun/slowdown related achievements.
