"Ghosts" is a song written by Daniel Hunt and Reuben Wu and recorded by the band Ladytron. It is the first single from Ladytron's fourth studio album Velocifero.

[edit] Music video
The music video was directed by award-winning director Joseph Kahn and is very much different to the music videos of Destroy Everything You Touch and seventeen. The video begins on a long motorway, presumably in an area like the Nevada desert. The camera switches from one close-up to the next as it shows images of an empty car being driven down the motorway by ghosts, Wu and Hunt standing on top of the static car, a rabbit in the desert and debris of a house.Wu and Hunt is then shown walking through the dust as a house is revealed along with images of rabbits and wolves running in the desert heat. The video continues with scenes showing the band walking and standing on the highway and Helen Marnie holding the rabbit, crouching in front of the debris of a house and walking down the Highway. The video concludes with the scene of the Highway at night being invaded by Hundreds of rabbits as the car drives away.
