bring back ghost autographs or perish.
for those of you that do not understand or know of ghost autographs it when you write your signature on the crease of paper and then fold the paper soest how it smudges and blots, looking like a skeletal system. [source]

What does your Ghost Autograph look like?
Titled The Ghost of My Friends, it is a book of “ghost signatures,” the well-inked swirls of a cursive autograph transformed into strange, elegant, and devilish inkblots. The smudges and splatters found in a booklet are akin to that of a Rorschach inkblot, but the linear thin tracks of a fountain pen give these ghostly inkblots a unique look. (source)
