Look, here’s the thing about ghosts—they’re the perfect comedians. Think about it. They’re invisible, they float through walls, they make a sound that’s literally just “boo,” and yet somehow they’ve become one of the most beloved characters in humor. Maybe it’s because there’s something oddly relatable about a ghost—they’re basically just trying to exist, not bothering anyone, and then everyone freaks out when they show up. Classic underdog energy.
The truth is, ghost jokes never get old. Whether you’re a kid looking for something silly to share with your friends, a parent trying to get a laugh at the dinner table, or someone who just loves a good pun (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t?), there’s something here for everyone. We’ve packed over 111 jokes into this collection—everything from quick one-liners that’ll make you groan and smile at the same time, to longer scenarios that’ll actually make you laugh out loud.
So whether it’s Halloween season, you’re prepping for a party, or you just need a break from the everyday and want to dive into some hauntingly good humor, you’ve come to the right place. These jokes range from kid-friendly to grown-up clever, from social media gold to party favorites. The goal?
