Ghosts are everywhere -- in haunted houses and on our most popular dating apps.

That's why Party City has developed an adult ghosting costume for women. Plenty of women have encountered someone who just won't stop bothering them on dating apps or over text.

Might as well "ghost" them in real life.

The costume is now available for $24.99 on the Party City website. As of now, there is only a women's costume.

"If someone's blowing up your phone, ghost them in a Ghosted Costume for women!" the Party City description reads. "The costume is a hooded white dress designed to look like a ghost with a series of unanswered texts on the front."

It's not the most inventive design, but it has deep emotional appeal.

Twitter's reactions were, uh, mixed:

Whatever you think of this costume, it's at least better the sexy ebola costume of 2014. For that, we should be grateful.
