Ghosts Like Us

Ghosts Like Us is a tabletop RPG where players take on the roles of ghosts who are haunting a property. Think The Shining, Paranormal Activity, Poltergeist, some of the Scary Movie series or any movie where a group of humans newly enters
a haunted property, only to find that they are not welcomed by the presence. The goal in THIS game is to rid the humans
in the funniest way possible. Be competetive, cooperative, whatever. Just have fun.
