Ghost7/15/25
âȘ
after listening to ghost for 3+ years, i had the privilege of being able to go to their concert for the first time and it was incredible!!!!!!!!! i had been waiting for this for what felt like FOREVER and i simply could not contain my excitement⊠this was the most excited id been for something pretty much ever i fear 
the last time ghost preformed in my state was in 2023, but it was a few hours away + i didnât have anyone who lived up there (i also didnât even know they were on tour i didnât know them as well) and i do regret it. this time i flew to north carolina to see their concert at lenovo center. i only got to see my concert outfit the night before and thank god, i am so glad that everything came well + i liked the jacket because it wouldve been baddd if i didnât ijbol 
hereâs a shoddy picture of my outfit (not my room haha)
my hair surprisingly looked quite nice.. i combed it back for a princely look and it went really nicely with my fit. im wearing blue for my good friend papa iv
anyway the day of the concert i was sooo nervous đđ i couldnât focus on anything besides showing up to that venue as soon as possible!!!!!! so we spent some time exploring the city first before pulling up around 3:45. the raleigh heat was CRAZY i believe it was 92F⊠i mean i was boiling yall see what im wearing. some emo shit. it was rough especially since im not supposed to be in hot tempsđanyway i originally planned to put on some papa iv makeup, but once i put together my outfit i decided against it cause i looked like a baddie as is. meanwhile, my aunt who was kind enough to come along with me ended up wearing it and .. it was funny asf đ
when i got there, there were around 100-150 people there. i spent about 40 minutes in the merch line after walking around the area for a little beforehand. i got so many compliments and it really made my dayâŠi fear i felt like a celebrity 
ok maybe not that crazy but. it was so cool to have so many people just⊠come right up to me to talk to me abt my fit! i also got so many bracelets.. i ended the night with 6 different ones:
there was this super sweet girl with a gallon size ziplock bag completely full of purple bracelets and she was just really cute đ!!! there was also someone who gave me one of the most beautiful bracelets ive seen and its actually the only one ive kept on (the one that says ârite here rite nowâ.)
anyway, i finally managed to be the second person to the front in the line and all the sudden i hear the loudspeaker going offâŠ. bruh vanessa warwick pulled up. BUT I COULD NOT GIVE UP MY PLACE IN LINE đđąđą they were filming the intro to a ghoulbangers ball (which is not out yet but i will link it when it comes out) and i sadly did miss it. but OMG i was so excited to her i could not believe it!! that was my first time âseeingâ a celeb right in the open and it was such an interesting experience. it was like recognizing someone that you hadnât even seen in real life⊠which is a weird feeling. thankfully i made it over there after buying my shirt and met up with someone i knew from twitter. then, we both managed to get into the main intro for the ghoulbangers ball! the one where everybody screams really loud⊠we did it in front of the papa blowup creature đđ i really hope we made it into the vid because it was so fun
then after we did the first take vanessa said that we needed to do a second take because there was a special guest. so of course everyone is like⊠ok whereâs papaâŠ? is he comin out or something? and we all just stood there. but then they started recording and⊠THIS MAN DROPS ON ONE KNEEEEE he proposed to his gf and it was the sweetest thing ever đą!!!!!!!!!! i just stood there and kept saying oh my god oh my god⊠like that is crazy! i came up to them and told them like you guys that is the best thing ever. congratulations. bcs like imagine getting proposed to at your favorite bandâs concert, getting it filmed, then getting interviewed đ insane i fear⊠i hope papa goes to their wedding
after that i got a photo with vanessa and i felt like the luckiest man alive!!!!!!! sadly it ended up being a video bcs my aunt forgot but it ended up being a really really funny videođđand yeah⊠after that i just sat around for a few hours before the doors. crazy ive written this much and havenât even gotten to the actual concert part.
inside i went and bought a poster before the concert started. then we finally found the doors to our area, and i kept going down, down, and down⊠girl when i told you my seat was INCREDIBLE. i was in section 106 row E
its really hard to explain through these photos since i didnât have my phone, but the way the stage was set up, my seat basically was inline with the corner of the stage, so if anyone came up to the corner, they directly faced the area of my seat. also when the spotlights turned on it was DIRECTLY in my section⊠i could not have been more lucky đđđ also, watching people in the pit is so much fun. there was this one girl with super clean makeup who just stood out the entire time.
so in the concert, i mean everything went so fast⊠it felt nowhere near 2 hours long. i wish they stayed on stage forever 
to be honest, i did not know this elizabeth song until it was played⊠i fear some ghost fans might burn me alive for that but tbh opus not my favorite album whatsoever so i did not know much songs IJBOL⊠also devil church was something i was waiting for despite it being a 1 minute long instrumental, its such a beautiful song and when it played⊠damn i felt in the moment so much. its such an eerie beautiful song and i wish that second lasted forever. then my favorite song umbra played⊠MANNNNNNN it was so good its insane. i enjoy that song so much i just wish that cowbell was louder bro!!!!
now near the end of the concert, papa was not coming over to our section very much i fear đ i was waiting and waiting! but he finally came over during⊠i think dance macarabe or square hammer. he finally came over and did sum dance or whatever and blew a kiss and hehâŠđhe looked right at me. im tellin the truth im not delulu. i was right there. but it was very nice to finally see him as someone who doesnât know the ghouls very well.
i do think seeing the ghouls the whole concert was really nice though. this one with a top hat mostly stayed in our corner and was very cool⊠i just think its so fun to see them looking at the crowd while playing . but tbh what got me the most was the ghoulettes in the back 
i think their outfits are the best and especially their DANCE!!!! they did this dance the whole time that was sooooo cute and very addicting to look at. i loved it.
then, during mummy dust, the confetti and all came out but sadly it really only went to the pit. LUCKILY, i took inspiration from a few other people and ran to the bottom of the stairs where the security was giving out dust and mummy bucks. that really meant a lot to me and i was so glad i was able to get some. i ended up giving one to the girl next to me and kept one for myself
anyway.. if i remember more about this night iâll likely update this page later on. that, by far i fear was the best night of my entire life and i will never forget it i met so many people, i got confetti, mummy bucks, met vanessa, saw papa and ghouls, met up with someone, got merch, everything. i will never forget how kind and sweet SO many people were⊠especially when i was leaving the venue and someone tapped me on the shoulder from behind đ and they said âi like your outfitâ! ijbollll anyway⊠i think that is it đ
