Crazy Ghost appeared on myhome.hananet.net as early as January 2002. Upon opening the page, the website would open a pop-up window with the image. It displayed the following text on the main page:

殺生簿<br>

위의 테그를 복사하여 테그가 실행되게 게시판에 써넣으시오. 그것이 한번이라도 실행되지 않으면 더욱 끔찍한 것을 보게 될것이다.

Copy the code above and paste it on the [[wikipedia:Bulletin_board_system|bulletin board]] for the tag to be executed. If not, you will see something even more dreadful.

</tabber>

The code exploited [[wikipedia:Code_injection|HTML injection vulnerabilities]] to immediately refresh the page and redirect the sender and anyone viewing the thread to the screamer.

~~The Korean text roughly translates~~ to ~~"Copy~~ the ~~code above~~, ~~send them to BBS~~ and ~~let them run~~. ~~If not you will encounter even scarier things"~~. ~~The code provided is using HTML meta tag to invoke page redirection with~~ a ~~duration~~ (~~immediate or 0 seconds in this case~~)~~. It is speculated that on early BBSs that have HTML injection vulnerability, sending this code would cause an immediate redirect to the screamer after opening~~.
