Read this post if you play Fortnite

hey guys, just wanna warn you guys, if you play mic up proximity chat, if there's a default named Hallowen6617, run bro. I need to put this out there because what I just experienced doesn’t feel like a normal hacker situation. It feels… wrong.

For context: this dude literally banned my friend’s account. I watched it happen in real time. He was flying, moving in ways that looked like he was on Xbox and PC at the exact same time. It didn’t look like mods or cheats — it looked broken, unnatural.

What made it even creepier? This “bot” had the exact same username as me. Word for word. But here’s the thing: I don’t have an alt. There’s no possible way that was me.

And then it got worse.
This entity HALLOWEN6617 started playing distorted sounds in Mic Up Proximity Chat. My friends swore he banned them, but when I asked, they admitted they left the lobby because they were scared of what I called the “Fortnite Ghost Clone.”

Since that night, I can’t play Fortnite without harassment. Every time I log in, random kids scream at me:
“YOU’RE A FAKE HALLOWEN6617!”
“THE REAL ONE IS A DEFAULT, NOT A HATSUNE MIKU!”
“AREN’T YOU SUPPOSED TO PLAY SOUNDS?!?”

For context, yes I use a Hatsune Miku skin, and I sometimes soundboard music and effects using a Bluetooth speaker connected to my microphone. That’s why people think I’m the ghost. But the truth is, I was in the same lobby as the real thing.

I’ve done some digging. From what I’ve learned, HALLOWEN6617 can’t actually ban you. What he does is worse:
He stalks. He follows. He stays in your lobby until you log off. And every second you stay, the audio gets more distorted, more corrupted, like the game itself is tearing apart.

Here’s the chilling part:
During my research, I discovered that HALLOWEN6617 no longer plays static. He’s now considered the first Fortnite digital ghost a fake Warningbot and instead of noise, he mutters random numbers that sound like IP addresses.

This was the second time I logged on. The moment I recognized it was him, I left immediately. I wasn’t going to risk my IP being leaked.

So please if you see HALLOWEN6617, do not try to confirm if it’s real or fake. Don’t talk back. Don’t investigate. Just log off immediately.

And if anyone else has sightings of this ghost in the exact game Mic Up Proximity Chat by HASMATIX, I’m asking you to document it. Record the experience. Clip it from your stream. And post it with one or more of these hashtags:

#HALLOWEN6617SPOTTED, #HWEN6617, #MICUPSIGHTING6617, #FORTNITECORRUPT6617

If your post doesn’t include at least one of these, it will be considered fake and won’t count as a confirmed sighting.

Stay safe. And if you hear the numbers… log off.
