By now, it’s safe to say TikTok is the trendsetting social media app where dances, clothing items, and even home decor pieces find overnight fame. And the most recent thing to blow up on the platform is a ghost-printed rug that the Halloween fanatics are all trying to get their hands on.

The black-and-white rug is a 20-inch by 60-inch runner that features an adorable group of friendly ghosts. It sells for around $25 and can be found at T.J. Maxx and Marshall’s — that is, if there are any left in stock.

People have become so obsessed with this thing that if and when it’s found, the purchase simply must be documented on TikTok. These ghost rug videos have been popping up on feeds left and right, with some videos garnering well over 350,000 likes.

“Why do I suddenly feel like I need this rug when I’ve never decorated for Halloween once?” one commenter wrote on the above video. Another wote, “I’m so hurt I can’t find this damn rug.”

It’s become an obsession. “Now taking offers for the viral ghost rug,” the TikToker below captioned their video. EBay won’t see what’s coming.

The ghost rug is cute, everyone wants it, and it’s hard to find, which is the perfect recipe for a viral sensation.

If you see a ghost rug at your local Marshall’s or T.J. Maxx, you’d be silly not to jump at the chance to invite these little ghouls to live in your house — and you’d be even sillier not to make a TikTok to celebrate your successful hunting trip.
