Every Halloween, I think of a really legit ghost prank I could play on a friend or group of friends. As a result, nobody gets near me that day and calls me a bastard while at it. But who cares, I've got coworkers, and it so happens that my closest coworker's birthday is right then. Since we're all in a "grown up" environment at the company, I don't feel like carrying out a stupid teenage prank, but rather a psychological one.
Well guess what I've been thinking on having the guys run a casual work meeting, discussing serious shit, having a random friend dress up as some type of grudge girl (or strapped psycho), having him suddenly burst into the room screaming, hysterically running around the place, then crawling out of the it a few seconds afterwards, and keep the meeting going as if nobody ever saw anything at all.
I wonder what kind of effect this would have on the birthday boy.
Also, we have this very long hall with alternating doors on the sides. The place gets really dark when you turn one of the main lights off. I've thought of having several guys dress up with white robes, put on really long haired wigs and suddenly burst out of the offices, at the same time, running bent over with their hands forward, exchanging rooms and making weird noises while at it, pausing for a moment and repeating it all over again.
As you can see, the pranks don't directly target the victim but have more of a "supernatural happenings" effect. Because, really, what is a ghost supposed to do when he gets to the guy? -_-
Brainstorm and discuss boys!
Edit: Forgot the mandatory blog videos as an example:
Sounds freaky. On which floor will the party be? If it's on the 1st floor you can seat the birthday boy with a clear view on the window and pull some grudge stuff from the outside. Like a hairy head staring into room and when he says 'Hey, what's that?" everybody pretends like they don't see nothing.

Yeah, have everyone say stuff, like "Hey, did you hear about what happened to Bob?", "Yeah, it's so sad, right near his birthday too", "I hope his wife's doing ok", "Do you know when the funeral is?". Would be a pretty big mind-fuck, haha.

the problem would be pulling it off - people would crack smiles and not be able to do it very well. You're better off with something that requires less talent .
If the company was smaller, it would be epic to close it down well, remove the logos, have a beggar chill out by the entrance and tell him the building has been abandoned for the past 10 years.
