LOL I had to google it because I couldn't quite remember how it went. It was a bit different from what we did but I suppose it's a regional thing. We called it red light-green light. It was a kind of reverse hide and seek, but in the dark. One person would hide-he was the ghost- everyone else waited together for a specified amount of time, probably counting to a hundred or something. As you left the home base to look for the ghost everyone chanted "a red light a green light, I hope the ghost won't come out tonight." I can't quite remember how it ended, it seems like if you found the ghost you went screaming "ghost, ghost, ghost!!!" back to the home base which was safe, once revealed the ghost had to catch someone who then had to be the ghost for the next round. It was especially scary because it was in the dark and you never knew where that damn ghost might pop out of. ;D
