What better way to terrify your loved ones while they're quarantined than by sending them a hand-written letter from the ghost that haunts their home?

Oh hi! So listen. The world's gone buck wild, the postal service is hanging on by a thread, and we're all trapped inside for at least another (checks notes) forever. Seemed like the perfect time to launch a new SaaS product (spooking as a service) to try and bring a little adventure to peoples' mailboxes. I call it Phantom Letter. You provide the address of a friend or loved one, and I summon the actual ghost that lives in their home to write and send them a terrifying, hand-written letter. Why do they have to mail it if they already live in the house? Because the spirit world has rules, obviously. Most of the ghosts are nice. Some are a little restless. Every ghost is different, though, so you never quite know what you're going to get. We've been flinging these weird little Phantom Letters all across the country for the last month or so, and so far they're being met with the right blend of "what the hell is this" and "who would do this to me." If you know someone that could use a good scare, I'd love for you to give it a shot. And if you happen to receive a Phantom Letter from someone else, remember...I'm just the messenger!

Oh this gives me goosebumps! I can imagine you'll be busy for Halloween, might have to get this done for a few people lol, do you do it worldwide or just US currently?
Shawn Bowers
@aaronoleary Just US currently, but hopefully can open it up eventually. And yeah, Halloween! There’s been a bit of an uptick already during this, the Spookiest Month...it seems people are leaning toward “trick” over “treat” this year! 🎃

Nice work Shawn, good fun! And nice work on the copy on your site. Really clever. Is the handwriting real (i.e. you're manually putting pen to paper) or are you using some tech?
Shawn Bowers
@patrick_gaskin Hey, thanks for the kind words! The handwriting is real, I have a pile of worn down Sharpies to show for myself haha. I've picked arguably the least scalable concept for a product here, but it's hard to replicate the chaotic qualities of something truly handmade.

What an absolute scream (boom boom) of an idea . Love, love, love it !
