Haunting is a gamemode in which you still play after dying.

Players that die, turn into ghosts ($i ghost) instead of completely dying and may no longer use their abilities. Ghosts can no longer talk in the normal channels, but can interact with other ghosts in a graveyard channel and through ccs. Ghosts have their own elections ($i ghost elections) and a lynch equivalent ($i banishment), however the banishment poll only occurs when so decreed by an elected role. When a ghost is banished (through the poll or a role's ability), they are fully eliminated and no longer participate in the game. In the Haunting gamemode, the reporter role is replaced by the gravekeeper ($id gravekeeper) and the guardian role is replaced by the prophet ($id prophet). A list of all roles exclusive to the Haunting gamemode can be found under $i haunting roles.

Haunting mode also uses modifiers. Modifiers are added on top of your role, but cannot be seen or interacted with by other players/roles. A list of haunting modifiers can be found under $i haunting modifiers. Win conditions are unchanged in this mode - whatever team reaches their win condition among the living players wins.

A Ghostly player may not use any of their abilities while alive; instead, they can use them while they are a ghost. This does not affect which players they can target, so for most pumpkins they may only target living players even while they are a ghost.

A Tethered player will survive the first time they are banished.
