Ghosts usually aim to give us a fright, but the internet has been spooked in the most adorable way by a dog-walking ghost from Marshall's. Making waves across social media platforms, this charming specter captured the hearts of many. But thanks to TikTok creator Christina Melhorn , it’s gotten an even more adorable makeover that will leave you saying, "now that is boo-tiful!" (Okay, not the greatest pun, but you get the idea!)
Sometimes certain things go viral for clear reasons—like videos of kittens playing the piano—but other times, it’s a bit of a head-scratcher. That’s exactly what happened with this dog-walking ghost. Found at Marshall's, the ghost has become a social media sensation, with fans hunting for it everywhere from Facebook to Instagram. Those who can't find it are even making DIY versions, proving that when it comes to cuteness, necessity truly is the mother of invention.

For a few of those lucky enough to snag one of these elusive ghosts, the next step is personalization. Enter Christina Melhorn, who decided to add her own flair to make the ghost even cuter. You see, Christina wasn't content with the ghost's default factory settings, so she decided to give it an upgrade, and boy, did she succeed.
First, she gave the ghost anime-like eyes, then filled in the ghost's grin and added a delicate blush to its cheeks. Not one to leave any detail unattended, Christina spruced up the accompanying pup as well, making sure it would be just as endearing as its spectral owner.
But Christina didn't stop there. Oh no, this was just the beginning. The ghost and its dog got fancy lash extensions, adding a bit of glam to the otherwise ghostly look. To elevate the look even further, Christina applied gold paint to the collar and leash—because even ghosts deserve a touch of luxury. The final crowning glory was, quite literally, a floral crown for the ghost and matching bows for the doggo’s head and collar. The result? Absolute cuteness overload.
How Can You Customize This Look Even Further?
This sweet and simple upgrade turned the ghost from bland to grand. One commenter suggested that Christina keep the ghost on display year-round, merely swapping out accessories to match the season. Think bunny ears for Easter, a Santa hat for Christmas, and maybe even a pumpkin crown for Halloween. Another person admitted they couldn't even look at the original ghost the same way after seeing Christina’s adorable makeover.
If you’re lucky enough to find one of these spectral treasures at Marshall's, why not give it a personalized touch? And if you don’t, well, there’s always the DIY route. Either way, the dog-walking ghost is here to stay, making our homes a little more whimsical one adorable makeover at a time.
