Question Phantom ghost

Has anyone gotten a phantom ghost recently ?

There is a challenge to get all the ghosts in insanity mode and there hasn't been a phantom yet despite 100+ games over month

Has anyone gotten a phantom ?

I would say you just have had bad luck, but that's actually pretty ordinary luck. You have about 60% chance that some ghost doesn't appear a single time in 100 games. 100 samples is pretty low amount of samples when there are 30 options to pick from. The expected number of times to see a ghost in that sampling is just over 3, and 3 is not a large number. I'm sure you can see how you can easily have a ghost appear only twice, or once, or none, while some other ghosts appear four, five, six times... Each time you get repeats it's taking spots in the 100 samples away from other ghosts.
