Ghost.exe, also known as pikachu.exe, pica.exe, or Scary Pikachu,[1] is a screamer application made by Junya Uchino in either the late 1990s or early 2000s, which appears to originate from Korea[2]. It is based on the Pokémon video game franchise, and was hosted on many sites, including haha168.com around 2002, a site that hosted many screamer applications, including Monster.exe.
Content
Upon opening the application, the user is greeted with a title screen with the text "Pokemon Adventure Island" and a rapid cycle of Pokémon images. Text in the lower left of the screen read "Please turn on your speaker for dynamic sound effect within the game".
When the user clicked on the title screen, a voice clip of Pikachu saying "Pikachu!" played, and the screen started to flash white. The screen faded to black, and as the application switches to a full-screen mode, a GIF animation of a blue-tinted ghost making a pawing motion, known as Hong Kong Grandmother Ghost, appeared[3], accompanied by ghostly speech. After a couple seconds, the animation fades to black, and the application closes.
