If I was a ghost I would try help them as much as I can, not prank them. Idk what influence I’d have, maybe I can appear in influential people’s dreams and influence them to do better.

Slightly move things in people’s house. Like every day your kitchen table is in a slightly different position, not different enough to realize what’s going on, just different enough to be slightly confused

I’d make them see this man in dreams.

Flush the toilet the second someone sits down

I’m going into every single office building I can find and just hitting “Ctrl+z” randomly on peoples keyboards as I float around.

Maybe the occasional screen rotate. Most offices workers would not know how to fix their screen being upside down or sideways.

For the bosses I would change the keyboard over to dvorak layout or something.

CEOs I would probably alter their email signature slightly in an offensive way so they get in trouble and possibly fired.

I can think of so many wonderful things to do as a ghost lol

Go into their computer

Cause glitches and errors that just arbitrarily disappear or change whenever the user tries to troubleshoot. Which follow no pattern to speak of.

Every time someone turns the kettle on I wait ‘til their back is turned and switch it off again.

Unrolling the toilet paper.

I’d haunt a data center and randomly flip bits unless they do some kind of weird ceremony at shift changes

Ghost farts.

Crack open the medicine cabinet every morning.

I’d start appearing at various churches dressed as Jesus talking about “Wait till my father gets done with his latest project and has time to deal with y’all again” to see how many of them say “You mean it’s actually real?”

I’d cook people flavorful meals, packaged up and ready to grab in the morning. Maybe they’d come home to a dinner spread after a rough day. And then I would infiltrate banking systems and regularly but stochastically credit poor people’s accounts with amounts below the revenue departments structuring threshold.

Finally, I’d find people with test anxiety and coach them through the problems.

I’m the one who’s been talking to your cats and other pets when they get that thousand yard stare at that one spot on the wall.

I don’t. Pranks are done by bullies.
