The current record for the "largest gathering of people dressed as ghosts" is 560 people and was achieved in 2017 by Mercy School in Tralee, Ireland, according to GWR.
If any group would like to attempt the record, a "ghost costume" seems to be required by GWR which "consists of a white sheet with eye holes cut out," the record-keeping organization states on its website.
