Answer: Video games

Ghosting, also sometimes called stealthing, is a video game strategy some players use to progress quickly into a game. The idea is that the player avoids all possible enemies and thus does not waste time fighting them or risk losing the game by being defeated.

In order to ghost, the player must carefully plan their travels and hide behind objects or buildings to avoid being seen by an enemy. Oftentimes, it is not possible for a player to ghost in the beginning of a game because he or she will need to defeat enemies to gain strength and experience or because some enemies are simply unavoidable at the start.
